The Peugeot 605 was the French manufacturer’s executive saloon from 1989 to 1999, competing in the segment occupied by the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class of the same era. It was never a volume seller, but it was a well-regarded long-distance car with a comfortable ride and genuine Peugeot character. The V6 and turbodiesel variants were particularly popular for company car use across Europe.
Part number REC42NH4338 is the Recaro direct-fit sub-frame for the Peugeot 605. It attaches to the 605’s floor mounting positions without drilling or modification and carries fore-aft running adjustment. The 605’s floor uses executive-class seat mounting geometry that Recaro specifically addressed here, rather than adapting a sub-frame from the smaller 405 or 406.
Executive saloon owners fitting a Recaro seat to a 605 are typically doing so for long-distance driving comfort rather than track use. The 605 was a motorway car. A Recaro Sport or Sportster CS gives better support on cross-country routes than the standard seat, which was built for comfort over lateral hold.
This sub-frame works with Recaro seats only and is suitable for base-mountable bucket seats and reclining sport seats. Side-mounted competition shells need different mounting hardware. The price covers one seat position. Contact us with your Recaro model when ordering so we can confirm the complete kit.
