INFO GUIDE: 1990 - 1994 Peugeot 205 GTI Phase 2 (1.9l)

This identification guide has been written for those seeking information about the Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9l, and specifically, the Phase 2 hatchback car is the subject of this page. For the Phase 1 car (1986 - 87), click here, and for the Phase 1.5 car (1987 - 1990), click here. For the purposes of this guide, the Phase 2 covers all cars made between 1990 and 1994. Some people categorise these cars into multiple phases, however, the differences are only slight, and we have therefore dealt with these cars in a single phase.

Like the VW Golf GTI and Renault 5 GT Turbo, Peugeot was a big name in the early years of hot hatches, and the 205 GTI is becoming increasingly collectible along with the VW and Renault.

The 1.9l GTI was produced between 1986 and 1994, and these hot hatches in their various phases are becoming increasingly collectible as practical classics. The Phase 2 car has particular features, and this guide hopes to provide some clarity in this respect, so people know exactly what they are buying, and how original it is.

This guide includes information on the external features, interior features, paint colours/codes, mechanical features, and the all-important chassis and engine number details required to identify a genuine 205 GTI 1.9l Phase 2.

Number of Phase 2 cars produced:
332,942 GTI’s were produced worldwide between 1984 and 1994 (number includes both 1.6l and 1.9l cars). Given that Phase 2, 1.9l production occurred over a 4 year period, Phase 2 GTI’s are expected to account for a reasonable portion of this figure. Please contact us if you have any further information with respect to Phase 2 production numbers.

Period of Manufacture:
Phase 2, 205 GTI 1.9l cars were produced between August 1990 and July 1994.
