Peugeot 4008 Sushi mustard sauce

Partnering with Mitsubishi is good. At PSA we felt a little out of it while the compact SUV segment is booming the group did not have much to offer its customers except some 3008 rather typed Cross.Over.Then.what happens with the Mitsubishi ASX a compact SUV which will ultimately make little PSA Aircross Citroën C4 and Peugeot 4008.Unlike Citroen Peugeot already has a Cross.Over typed vehicle in its range namely 3008.The latter pays a big success but here it can not qualify as SUV for lack of true 4.wheel drive version. So yes there is a HYbrid4 which boasts its all.wheel drive but it does that drives the rear wheels via an electric motor rather menu.Not enough to climb trees so.

This left room for a real SUV. That is why Peugeot 4008 has decided not to import the 4008 in 4 wheel drive version in Europe.What added to the range and attract new customers.The stage is set Peugeot will sell his 4008 in Belgium in a single trim level the higher end that is and only with AWD.Clearly the manufacturer does not expect to make large volume with this new model. In the figures this translates into an estimate of 600 copies for this year and it 750 copies for next year.The good news is that the driver of a 4008 will not like having a Mitsubishi or Citroen.PSA has provided a lot of work on the stylistic level by radically changing the front and back of their models.The 4008 would then look like a genuine Peugeot. Inside its much less folichon apart from the steering wheel some plastics and some chrome accents its Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

On the technical side the gasoline engine 1.6 is shipped right into oblivion and the 1.8 diesel 115 horsepower Mitsubishi merely suppresses the excellent 1.6 HDi of the same power of the French house.Only the 1.8 diesel of 150 horses of the Japanese manufacturer is retained though a new turbo for better response to midrange.Peugeot 4008 Peugeot being engineers also focused on the chassis for a good road manners in the tradition of the house. Finally sound insulation and vibration has been refined.Premium was told.From the outside the 4008 is rather exciting. Peugeots new design gives it airs cats as sober as elegant and dynamic.In short this product is rewarding and we forget the origins of Japanese. From inside we said the atmosphere falls back a few notches.This is the Mitsubishi namely that the assembly has a nice build quality but the plastics are low.status the presentation is rather bland.And then theres the driving position definitely too high with a seat not down enough and a steering wheel does not adequately adjusting for height tall drivers will feel to drive with the wheel between your knees.

At the rear habitability is not wonderful the panorama roof providing a very good light in the cockpit and the LED through it provide an atmosphere very lounge in the evening.But then there necessarily a catch and it is in this case the rear headroom compromised by the presence of the sunroof.Tried in its version 1.8 HDI 150 hp the 4008 is not aplacid little SUV.The cavalry is present but the engine sounded a charge once the bar of 2000 r / min exceeded. Below 1800 rev / min no salvation and hilly initiated at low speeds will often ask to retake the first gear. On roads and highways all is still very pleasant with excellent comfort both suspension andi acoustic.The ride is pleasant but touts the Peugeot 4008 chassis reworked to provide excellent dynamic performance.So in effect. Well we won. Stable but agile the 4008 has a surprisingly bright and sharp behavior.The precise direction can point the front wheels exactly where you would command me.

Once off the beaten track the whole does not disunited.It feels Mitsubishis expertise in this area.The ground clearance and good approach angle for climbing strong ribs and overcome obstacles in relaxed.Well of course do not confuse it with a fireball of the Paris.Dakar or even with a Pajero your horse would never recover.But anyway know that your machine has more talent than just climb Sidewalk playing in the mud its his thing too.For once the life of the little scribbler planted behind his keyboard is facilitated by a policy of very simple equipment a single trim level a single transmission 4 wheel drive a single.speed manual 6.speed motors and two.So expect to € 30580 for the 1.6 HDI and € 2000 for the 1.8 HDi additional.Our advice. The small is plenty more sober and.more voluntary in lower wind.
