History of the Peugeot 4007
A Japanese Peugeot
The 4007 was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007 and officially launched on 12 July 2007. It was produced at Mitsubishi’s Nagoya plant in Okazaki, Japan, on the basis of the second-generation Outlander, and shared the project with the Citroën C-Crosser. Together the two were the first Japan-built cars sold under a French brand, and the plan was for 30,000 sales a year.
Both cars were supposed to be assembled at the Nedcar plant in Born in the Netherlands for the European market, but the plan was postponed indefinitely when sales fell below that 30,000 target.
Engines
The main engine was a 2.2-litre DW12 HDi turbodiesel four-cylinder of 156 PS and 380 Nm, with a particulate filter, a six-speed gearbox and the ability to run on 30% biodiesel. A 2.0-litre 4B11 petrol of 147 PS, the same engine as the Outlander’s, was offered in Russia only, while a 2.4-litre 4B12 MIVEC petrol of 170 PS was also shared with the Outlander.
Trims
There were three trim levels, all with the 2.2 HDi: SE with alloy wheels, climate control, heated mirrors and power steering; Sport XS, which added leather seats and a telephone; and GT, which added headlamp washers, a CD multichanger, heated leather seats and a telephone.
