Peugeot Type 163


The Peugeot Type 163 and associated models were produced from 1919 to 1924 by Peugeot. The car's engine placed it in the 10HP class.

Background

Peugeot returned to passenger car production after the war slightly less rapidly than Paris based Renault and Citroën, both of which were quick of the mark with new entrants in the 10HP class. Peugeot's 159 was very much a stop gap solution, and the Type 163, prepared during the summer of 1919, was a much more modern contender.

Models

The original Type 163 had a wheelbase of and a 1.4 L engine. In 1922 the manufacturer added the Type 163 BS, a sportier model with less weight, an uprated 1.5 L engine Four-Wheels drive, and a longer wheelbase. In 1923 came the Type 163 BR, which carried over most of the mechanicals from Type 163 BS, but was heavier and slower. Total production came to 11,925.
