Peugeot 604 TI 1979

The 1979 Peugeot 604 TI is a representative high-end Peugeot sedan of the 1970s. Introduced in 1975 as the brand's new flagship, the Peugeot 604 remained in production until 1985. The design came from Pininfarina, resulting in understated and timeless lines that matched the international business class of the period. With the 604, Peugeot positioned itself emphatically in the segment of large executive cars.

The 1979 Peugeot 604 TI concerns the version with mechanical fuel injection, where the designation TI stands for "Tourisme Injection". This model was equipped with the PRV V6 engine, a power source developed in collaboration between Peugeot, Renault and Volvo. The use of injection distinguished the TI from earlier carbureted versions and marked a technical step within the model program. The combination of a V6 engine and rear-wheel drive was characteristic of the 604's positioning in the higher market segment.

Within the European car market, the 1979 Peugeot 604 TI took its place alongside other six-cylinder sedans from Germany and Italy. The model was used as a representative car for both private and business drivers and also found its way into government agencies. Although overall production of the Peugeot 604 remained relatively limited compared to volume models from the brand, the model underscored Peugeot's ambition to play a role in the upper-middle and high-end segments.

The Peugeot 604 TI 1979 is today considered a characteristic representative of French car design from the late 1970s, combining international engineering with a Pininfarina-drawn bodywork.
