What is the Peugeot 205?
The Peugeot 205 is a compact hatchback that helped bring the brand into a modern era. Its practical shape suited everyday journeys, while the range also included sportier versions. Peugeot launched it as a five-door hatchback, then added other body styles and versions over its life. The 205 was replaced by the 206.
