PEUGEOT806 1994 - 1998

　　Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat joined forces to produce a minivan to compete against the Renault Espace and Volkswagen Transporter Van.

　　Due to the narrow streets and twisty roads, European customers were not very keen on minivans. They chose station wagons instead, and that led to a small demand for MPVs. On the other hand, Renault made the Espace in 1984 and conquered the segment competing against Chrysler Voyager, Mitsubishi L300, and Toyota Previa. Then, in 1994, the Eurovans appeared on the market. It was a successful badge-engineering project, which resulted in four vehicles: Citroen Evasion, Peugeot 806, Fiat Ulysse, and Lancia Zeta.

　　The 806 featured a pair of headlights similar to those installed in its large executive sedan 604. Its single-slat grille sported the company's chromed badge in the middle. On the lower side, a plastic wrapped-around bumper featured fog lights and an additional, slim grille. Unlike the Espace, the Eurovans had sliding rear doors, making the ingress and egress easier for the second and third-row passengers. At the back, a wide and tall liftgate opened the way to the trunk.

　　Inside, the carmaker installed seven individual seats. Apart from the front ones, all the others could have been removed. That led to a cavernous storage area of up to 3,300 liters (116.5 cu-ft) from the small 340 liters (12 cu-ft) with all seats in place. The dashboard was broad and featured a curved instrument cluster in front of the driver, with two large dials. Due to the elevated seating position, the carmaker installed the gear-stick on the center stack.

　　Under the hood, all Eurovans got Peugeot-Citroen engines, both gasoline and turbo-diesel diesel. The carmaker paired them with a five-speed manual with an option for a four-speed automatic for the 2.0-liter 16v engine.
