With the increasing European demand for 4X4 vehicles, the quickest way for companies like Peugeot to satisfy the demand is sharing platforms. This is the Peugeot 4007, based on the Mitsubishi Outlander. Peugeot and Mitsubishi will be collaborating together on off-road vehicles as Mitsubishi has a pretty good track record with the Pajero/Shogun and the Outlander.
Rumours are that the Peugeot 4007 will come with a 2.4 litre 170hp Mitsubishi engine for the petrol models and a 2 litre HDI 136hp Peugeot PSA diesel engine.
Citroen will also be making a 4X4 vehicle based on the Mitsubishi Outlander, likely to be simply a badge re-engineered Peugeot 4007 and it will be called the Citroen C7.

Proton… let do it man…….

Anyone owns the Outlander? Need to get some feedback before making the decision to get one. Looks great, by the way.
Good car, but never reach Bolehland at lowest price.
i think naza would try to assemble 1 of these .
Naza is already assembling the Naza Sorento, there's no use for another SUV.
Good point….but its sad really how big the difference is between the CBU unit and the lacally assembled ones….i mean…the parts are still from korea…but somehow it's interior is much poorer….parts are loose and somehow some problem occurs that CBU doesn't have…I mean….is there really that big a difference in our ability/skills or is it just because of the common "tidak apa" attitude of malaysians when doing their work?
