6B Overview:
Peugeot 605 (6B). With 250 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~9.6 l/100km). With a weight of 1470 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11 s). The top speed reaches 205 km/h.
