2007 Peugeot 4007 Spyshots

4007_1.jpg

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 liter 170hp Mitsubishi engine for the petrol models and a 2 liter 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.

    Anyone owns the Outlander? Need to get some feedback before making the decision to get one. Looks great, by the way.

  9. Proton might enter SUV and MPV market » said,

    [...] Some interesting facts - Peugeot and Mitsubishi has a joint venture SUV program. The Peugeot 4007 is actually a re-engineered Mitsubishi Outlander. As for the MPV, it was previously rumoured that Proton would be developing an MPV based on the Volkswagen Sharan. That’s a large MPV, not a small one like the Toyota Avanza. [...]

    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?

    [...] PSA Peugeot Citroen is not foreign to partnerships with other companies. They currently have a joint venture with Toyota for small cars (the Peugeot 107, the Citroen C1 and the Toyota Aygo are the same car), a joint venture with Mitsubishi for SUVs (Peugeot 4007 based on Mitsubishi Outlander), engine partnerships with BMW (2nd generation new MINI’s engine is a project between BMW and PSA Peogeot Citroen), as well as other partnerships with Fiat, and Seat. All these partnerships function without cross-shareholding. [...]
