Break Overview:
Peugeot 504 (Break). A car with an extended rear cargo area, combining passenger comfort with increased storage. Seating for 0 makes it ideal for daily use.

The entry-level petrol engine, offering basic but sufficient performance for daily driving. It's a simple, robust unit, best suited for lighter loads and city driving, with limited highway prowess.
