Peugeot 4007 2.2 TD (156 Hp)

The Peugeot 4007 2.2 TD is a compact SUV produced by the French automaker Peugeot between 2007 and 2009. This vehicle represents Peugeot’s entry into the growing SUV market of the late 2000s, and it was primarily sold in Europe, Australia, and Asia. Notably, the 4007 was developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors, sharing its platform and many components with the Mitsubishi Outlander. This collaboration allowed Peugeot to quickly introduce a competitive SUV without the extensive development costs typically associated with a completely new model.

Peugeot 4007: Overview and Market Positioning

The 4007 was positioned as a practical and versatile family vehicle, offering a blend of comfort, space, and all-wheel-drive capability. It aimed to appeal to buyers seeking a vehicle suitable for both urban commuting and occasional off-road adventures. Unlike many European vehicles that don’t make a significant impact in the US market, the 4007 is a good example of a collaborative effort to expand market reach, leveraging existing platforms to create a new product quickly. It competed with other compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan X-Trail, though it didn’t achieve the same sales volumes as those established competitors.

The vehicle has a top speed of 200 km/h (124.27 mph). The engine’s fuel consumption is rated at 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers (32.7 US mpg) on a combined cycle, with 9.5 l/100 km (24.8 US mpg) in urban conditions and 5.9 l/100 km (39.9 US mpg) on the extra-urban cycle. The engine is transversely mounted at the front of the vehicle.
