Main versions

There were more than 20 versions of the Peugeot 205 (1983‒1990) hatchbacks produced during the whole manufacturing period, including both diesel and petrol ones. In most of them, torque was transmitted to the front wheels. However, an all-wheel drive rally version was available in this lineup as well.

The diesel 1.9 GTi version had balanced characteristics. Its engine had 4 cylinders, 8 valves and 131 hp. Thanks to the system of electronic fuel injection, the car had excellent dynamic performance, for example, acceleration to 100 km/h in mere 7.8 seconds, a top speed of 208 km/h. Average fuel consumption in the combined cycle equaled 7.8 litres per 100 km. Payload capacity of the hatchback was 440 kg.

This version had brake discs on all wheels. Also, low-profile 15-inch tyres were installed on it.

Trim levels of 205 I (741A/C)

Numerous trim levels were offered for these cars. A trim was marked with a corresponding letter in the version name: N, E, L, R, S, T or J. Moreover, the hatchbacks were released in limited series: Color Line, Green, Junior, Look, Roland Garros, Winner and others.

The equipment list was generally quite modest, for example a power steering, front power windows and tinted windows were factory-installed on only a few versions. In most cases these options were available for an extra charge. A roof hatch and fog lights were also offered optionally.
