The Peugeot Type 25 is an early motor car produced by the French auto-maker Peugeot at their Audincourt plant and listed between 1898 and 1902. Only 2 were produced, probably both in 1898.

Peugeots had previously been powered by Daimler designed engines, but the Type 25 was propelled using Peugeot's own newly developed parallel-twin-cylinder four stroke engine, mounted underneath and behind the driver. A maximum of between 6 and 7 hp of power was delivered to the rear wheels by means of a chain-drive mechanism.

The car was closely related to the commercially far more successful Type15, but at 2800 mm it was longer, with a 1900 mm wheelbase. The carriage style coupé de ville body provided space for three, with a single seat at the front for the driver and a two-person bench seat positioned between the driver and the engine.

1 These cars were marketed as "Lion-Peugeots", produced by what was till 1910 a separate Peugeot company, run by cousins of Armand Peugeot, then in charge of the principal automobile business.

In 1910, Armand having no sons of his own, it was agreed that the two branches of the Peugeot business be reunited.
