The Peugeot 4007 is a 5-door SUV from Peugeot, built from 2007 to 2012, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: 2.0 . Ivo Groen drew it.
The background
The Peugeot 4007 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Mitsubishi Motors for the French automobile marque Peugeot, between July 2007 and April 2012. The equivalent Citroën badge-engineered version was the C-Crosser. Both were produced in Mitsubishi's Nagoya Plant in Okazaki, Japan, based on the second-generation Outlander. It was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007.
Together, the 4007 and C-Crosser were the first Japan-produced cars sold under any French brand. They had their sales target of 30,000 units per year. It was officially launched on 12 July 2007. The standard Peugeot 4007 comes with a Holland & Holland 4007 show car. Both vehicle had been planned to be assembled in the Nedcar plant in Born, Netherlands for the European market, however the plan was postponed indefinitely as sales of the two models fell below the target of 30,000 units.
The engineering
Power comes from 2.0 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 6-speed manual / 6-speed dual-clutch. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Peugeot 4008 / Peugeot 3008; assembly was at Okazaki. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Nissan GT-R, the Hyundai i30 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Peugeot stablemates include the Peugeot Onyx and the Peugeot Pars.
