221 Overview:
Peugeot 806 (221). With 176 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1585 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14.6 s). The top speed reaches 177 km/h. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Tested in 1999, the 806 received a modest 2-star rating for adult occupant protection, reflecting the safety standards of its era. It offered basic protection but lagged behind later designs.
