The Peugeot 406 was a popular car made by the French company Peugeot. It was first introduced in 1995. This car took the place of an older model called the 405. Later, in 1997, Peugeot also released a station wagon (called an estate) and a sportier two-door coupe version of the 406. The car got an updated look, known as a "facelift," in 1999. Production of the 406 stopped in 2004, when a new car, the 407, was launched to replace it.
