The Peugeot 4007 arrives in Australia
 

Home > News > Peugeot

9th November, 2009

Peugeot has launched its first ever four-wheel drive 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. The 4007 is a collaborative partnership between the PSA Peugeot Citroën group with its C-Crosser and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation with it's Outlander.

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.

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* configuration with clever functionality.

Peugeot Automobiles Australia general manager/ director Ken Thomas believes 4007 more than meets the expectations of today’s SUV customers. “4007 is an SUV with very strong credentials having sold in excess of 25,000 worldwide since launch” he said.

“It brings an affordable European alternative for anyone looking for a luxurious medium-sized four-wheel drive with the latest diesel technology.

“Gaining access to the brand new Getrag 6-speed DSC automatic gearbox is a very exciting development for 4007 and a further example of new technology available today.

“We know towing capacity, ride & handling, seating capacity and safety are paramount for today’s SUV buyer – happily 4007 delivers on these fronts.

“4007 also delivers one of the most fuel efficient vehicles in its class with the benefit of low emissions.

“Peugeot celebrates over 120 years of innovation where the brand has excelled in the toughest of environments. Within this tradition, we are confident 4007 will be a great success in Australia.”

Both grades feature the new 2.2-litre HDi diesel engine as standard, and both are available with the 6-speed Dual Clutch System automatic gearbox.

Only the ST is available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The five-seat ST comes standard with 16” alloy wheels, six airbags, ESP, cruise control, electronic rear park assist, climate control air-conditioning and combined sports cloth / leatherette trim.

The Recommended Vehicle Price for the five-seat ST is $45,490 in manual guise, while the 6-speed DCS auto adds $2,500 to the price.

The seven-seat ST is only available with the DCS and has an RVP of $49,190. The fully-loaded SV, complete with DCS automatic gearbox arrives at $54,190 RVP.
