22nd February, 2012
Automobiles Peugeot has released details and specifications of the all-new
4008 SUV ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March.
Australia and New Zealand will be amongst the first markets to receive the Mitsubishi ASX-based Peugeot 4008.
Production commences next month.
"The 4008 allows Peugeot access to the ever expanding compact SUV segment with a product that’s perfectly suited to
today’s active consumer," said Peugeot Automobiles Australia General Manager, Ken Thomas.
"Available in both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions, the 4008 caters to all buyers in the market and,
with competitive pricing we believe it has the ability to increase Peugeot sales by 20 per cent."
The all-new 4008 will enter one of the most competitive segments of the market in Australia with a price tag sub-30K.
The Peugeot 4008 combines strength, power and driving safety in all circumstances. Thanks to its four-wheel drive,
which is always available, it gives a feeling of freedom and greater peace of mind when driving.
Comfortable, compact and manoeuvrable, the 4008 SUV is also at home in the urban environment.
The Peugeot stylists wanted to give the 4008 a strong 'personality' so as to blend into the 'world' of the famous
French marque.
All exterior panels, except the doors are unique to the 4008 and styled by Peugeot. The off-road character has been
emphasised by adopting a vertical design of grille, the inclusion of body sill protectors and prominent wheel arch
protection trims, to accommodate large wheels enhanced by the sophisticated design of the wheel rims.
The almost-horizontal bonnet grooves and the style line – which extends to the rear guards where it descends again
crossing the lamp – are a distinctive feature and appear to hollow out along the body side, accentuating the strong and
dynamic aspect of the new Peugeot 4008.
The interior ambiance is enhanced by the choice of materials, like the soft texture fascia, to the instrument panel
visor and the lacquered black decoration of the centre console.

The Peugeot steering wheel is padded or leather trimmed and permits control of the audio functions, cruise control and
Bluetooth hands-free kit.
The new 4008 sits on the same size wheelbase as the 4007 but is 30 cm shorter - measuring 4,340 mm in length, 1,800
mm in width and 1,630 mm in height.
Globally, there are four engines on offer – a 1.6-litre (86 kW/152 Nm) four cylinder petrol with a five-speed manual
gearbox, a 2.0-litre (113 kW/198 Nm), four cylinder with a five-speed manual or CVT, a - 1.6-litre HDi (84 kW/270 Nm) -
280 Nm with Overboost – matched to a six-speed manual and a 1.8-litre HDi (110 kW/300 Nm) four cylinder turbo diesel with
a six-speed manual transmission.
To optimise consumption, the STOP & START system is available on both diesels and the 1.6-litre petrol.
With the 1.6-litre petrol and both HDi diesel engines, the 4008 achieves record environmental performance in the
segment. From 119 g/km of CO2 in 4X2 and 129 g/km in 4X4 mode with the 1.6 HDi engine and from 135 g/km with the
1.6-petrol engine, the Peugeot 4008 is economical to run, particularly given its low consumption from 4.6 L/100 km in 4X2
mode and 4.9 L/100 km in 4X4 mode.
Final Australian specification and pricing will be announced closer to the 4008’s local on-sale date in June.
