The 405 Sedan is a compact 1992 Peugeot built around straightforward specifications: gasoline power, front-wheel drive, and a five-speed manual. Its 21 MPG combined rating is the number to budget around, with city driving lowering that result to 18 MPG. Highway use can reach 26 MPG. An EPA annual fuel cost of $3,900 and emissions of 423.19 grams per mile make fuel planning important for any owner considering this sedan.
What it is
The 405 Sedan is Peugeot's 1992 compact car. It uses front-wheel drive, a 1.9-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a five-speed manual transmission. You can place it alongside other Peugeot cars when comparing the brand's models.
The numbers
The defining figure is 21 MPG combined. That blends an 18 MPG city rating with 26 MPG on the highway. In simple terms, a gallon covers about 21 miles across a mixed driving routine.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel cost is $3,900. Tailpipe emissions are rated at 423.19 grams of CO2 per mile. Your actual fuel spending will follow how much you drive and how closely your trips match the city and highway ratings.
How it compares
For a compact car, the 405 Sedan gives you a 21 MPG combined reference point. Its 18 city and 26 highway figures show the trade-off between slower urban trips and steadier highway travel.
Who it suits
This sedan suits a driver who wants a compact gasoline car with front-wheel drive and prefers a manual transmission. The highway rating matters more if most of your miles are on open roads; city drivers should plan around 18 MPG.
Trade-offs
The five-speed manual and front-wheel-drive layout define how it is driven. Fuel use is higher in city estimates than on the highway, and the 21 MPG combined rating means fuel costs remain a central ownership consideration.
Verdict
Choose the 405 Sedan if a compact 1992 Peugeot with a manual gearbox fits your priorities. Its EPA figures point to moderate fuel economy rather than low running cost, especially in town. Highway trips make better use of its 26 MPG rating, while mixed driving lands at 21 MPG. The $3,900 annual fuel estimate gives this older gasoline sedan a clear budget impact.
