Aboot 2.5 million vehicles hae been sauld warldwide in left-haund an right-haund-drive versions, as a berline (saloon) an break (station wagon). No coupe wis offered tae the public, unlik the 504 an 406, as anerlie twa examples o the purpose-biggit 405 Turbo-16 (nae tae be confused wi 405 T16) wur made.
The appearance o the caur bears similarities tae those o the Alfa Romeo 164, launched the same year an an' a' styled bi Pininfarina.
Aboot 2.5 million vehicles hae been sauld warldwide. It slottit intae the Peugeot range atween the smawer 309 an the lairger 505, givin it a firm rival for the Ford Sierra/Ford Mondeo MK1 an Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Vectra.

It haes been available in left-haund an richt-haund-drive versions, as a saloon an station wagon, in front-wheel, an fower-wheel drive. Designed bi Pininfarina, the 405 shares its platform wi the Citroën BX that appeared in 1982, awtho the physical appearance o the twa caurs is vera different.
Iran Khodro produces several models derived frae the 405. The Peugeot Pars, kent as the Peugeot Persia an aa, is a faceliftit 405 wi a redesigned front end includin clear lamp lenses an a revised rear. The Peugeot RD is a rear wheel drive caur which haes a 405 body an mechanical pairts frae the Paykan.[2] Syne 2006, it haes been sauld in certaint Middle Eastren markets as the Peugeot ROA.[3]
The Samand, which wis designed tae be a "naitional caur" for Iran, is forby based on the 405 platform.

The maist famous motorsport version o the 405, the rallyin 405 Turbo 16 GR, wis vera different frae the road-going 405. It wis biggit in a coupe body style in mid-ingine configuration, haed constant fower wheel drive wi electronically-adjustable centre differential lik the 205 T16, as it wis based on the same technology. Ae twa examples wur made, ane raced hill climbs an the ither competit in the Paris-Dakar rally. The day, ane is in the offeecial Peugeot museum, an the ither is in a private collection.
