Remember last week’s post on the Citroen C4 Aircross? That French take on the Mitsubishi ASX is part of a collaboration between Mitsubishi and PSA Peugeot Citroen, where the former provides its models for the French to restyle and sell under their own brands. Such an arrangement is also in place for Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV electric car and Outlander SUV. This is “Peugeot’s ASX”, named 4008.
Like the Citroen C4 Aircross, the 4008 wears distinct Peugeot styling. But this isn’t the “big mouth” look of 308 era, but the sleeker look of the 508, which was first previewed by the SR1 showcar from Geneva 2010. Present are the floating grille, feline design of the lamp units and three red claws in the rear lamps.
The off roader image is emphasised by a vertical grille design and the inclusion of sill protectors and wheel arch protection trim. The almost-horizontal bonnet grooves and the ASX style line – which extends to the rear wing where it descends again crossing the lamp – are distinctive features.
Petrol engine options include a 116 hp/152 Nm 1.6L (5-speed manual) and a 2.0L engine with 150 hp and 198 Nm. The latter can be had with a CVT, from Mitsubishi. The diesels will be more popular, and there are two choices – 1.6L HDi FAP with 112 hp/ 270-280 Nm with overboost, or a 1.8L HDi FAP with 150 hp and 300 Nm. The diesels will be mated to a six-speed manual.
The 4008 will debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and will go on sale from Q2 2012. Do you prefer the looks of this, the Citroen C4 Aircross or the original Mitsubishi ASX?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments indicate that the Peugeot 4008 is well-received for its stylish, European-designed appearance, which is considered more attractive than the Mitsubishi ASX. Many appreciate its unique, high-quality aesthetics that differ from typical Japanese SUVs, with some suggesting it surpasses the original in looks. There is speculation about the pricing being comparable to Japanese competitors, though some doubt it will be cheaper initially. Enthusiasts express desire for Peugeot to bring the model to markets like Malaysia and hope it will be well-equipped and affordable. Several comments also mention the collaboration between Peugeot and Mitsubishi, with opinions that Peugeot's design and features are superior, and some view the 4008 as a better, more modern alternative to existing options.
