Peugeot 5CV was a popular name for several models of the Peugeot Type 172 between 1925 and 1929.
The first of the 5CV series was the Type 172 BC, itself a new model, though similar to the Quadrilette, which was still sold through 1924. The Type 172 BC carried over the 667 cc engine from the Quadrilette, but with power up to 11 hp (8.1 kW).[1] It debuted at the Tour de France automobile in 1924.
