Peugeot unveils new 4008 SUV

Peugeot has unveiled the 4008, an SUV which completes its range of vehicles “suited to the various expectations of all-terrain customers,” according to the firm.

There are four engine options – a 1.6-litre petrol with 114bhp, a 2.0-litre 148bhp petrol, and two diesels, 1.6- and 1.8-litre with 110bhp and 148bhp respectively. For European markets, however, only the diesels are offered, both of which are mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.

The 4008 will be offered in only a 4x4 guise in Europe, with a system that features three selectable driving modes, including two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive and ‘Lock’. Based on the 4007 platform, the Peugeot 4008 features front and rear overhangs that are shorter by 300mm, while keeping its predecessor’s long wheelbase and wide tracks to maximise cabin space.

External features of the Peugeot 4008 include 18-inch alloys, a vertical grille, flared wheel arches, sill protectors and LED daylight running lamps that “complement the headlamps”. Inside, the cabin gets a glass panoramic roof, a touch-screen navigation system and reversing camera. Pricing for the Peugeot 4008 has not been announced yet.
