In line with it's range enhancement and development strategy, Peugeot
will launch the all-new 4008 SUV at the next 2012 Geneva Motor Show. With this
new 4x4 SUV, born of the PSA-Mitsubishi partnership, Peugeot completes its
range of vehicles suited to the various expectations of all-terrain customers.
4008 will go on from 2012 second quarter sale, initially in international markets
which will represent 70% of its sales.
With its distinctive, stylish appearance and its 4x4 SUV features, the
4008 is a modern response to the needs of all-terrain vehicle customers, fulfills
the expectations of the different markets showing strong growth in the compact
SUV segment.
The platform of the 4008, taken in part from the 4007, has been
reduced in length by shorter front and rear overhangs (-30cm in length). Its
long wheelbase and its wide tracks have been retained to guarantee good
occupant space.
These characteristics and its exterior dimensions – 4.34m long,
1.80m wide with a height of 1.63m - make the 4008 particularly versatile.
There will be two petrol engines: 1.6l (116hp, 152Nm) and 2.0l (150hp,
198Nm), and two diesels: 1.6l HDi FAP (112hp, 270-280Nm) and 1.8l HDi FAP(150hp,
300Nm). The 1.6l petrol engine will be mated with 5-speed manual, the 2.0l with
5-speed manual or CVT transmission. Both of the HDi engines will be available
with 6-speed manual transmission. In the four-wheel drive version, the driver can select three transmission modes: "2WD" two-wheel drive, "4WD" four-wheel drive and "LOCK" locking of the four-wheel drive.
