Peugeot Launches First Four-Wheel Drive in Australia

Peugeot has launched its first ever four-wheel drive Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in Australia with the introduction of the diesel-powered 4007.

The 4007 is Peugeot’s response to strong growth in the market for all-terrain vehicles and SUVs – with SUVs occupying approximately 20 per cent of the Australian market.

4007 is a collaborative partnership between the PSA Peugeot Citroën group and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. The result of this partnership is 4x4 technology developed by MMC and energy-efficient diesel engine technology developed Peugeot.

The 4007 features an innovative electronically controlled four-wheel drive system, a powerful, latest-generation 2.2-litre HDi diesel engine, combined with a versatile and dynamic package offering high levels of ride comfort both on and off road.

The latest-generation 2.2-litre HDi diesel engine in the Peugeot 4007 develops maximum power of 115 kW and maximum torque of 380Nm.

Its fuel efficiency and environmental credentials are of the highest order, with 7.0 litres/ 100km and 191 grams/ km (CO2) respectively for the manual.

The torque output from the diesel engine sees the 4007 capable of a braked towing capacity of 2,000 kg.

The environmental performance is enhanced by the particle emissions filter, a technology pioneered by Peugeot.

Peugeot’s expertise in terms of suspension contributes to the superior road holding of 4007, while the spacious interior layout allows for a 5-seat or 7-seat* “4007 also delivers one of the most fuel efficient vehicles in its class with the benefit of low emissions.
