As for the cost of “Peugeot 4007”, the price of a car in the simplest configuration in our country starts from 929 thousand rubles.
Appearance
The model is built on the same platform as the Mitsubishi Outlander XL. In this regard, it is not surprising that these two cars are very similar in appearance. The only exception is the front design, which the developers have completed in their own corporate identity, which has been around for a hundred years: vertical chrome planks, a "smiling" radiator grill, large drop-shaped headlights and a large company logo on the hood. Somewhat different from the Japanese counterpart and taillights. In all other respects, the car is a typical SUV.
Interior
The car is available in five-seater and seven-seater versions. Salon is considered one of the main advantages of the Peugeot 4007. Feedback from car owners characterize it as very convenient and indicate that only high-quality materials are used in the decoration. The location of the dashboard provides quick and easy access for the driver to it. In the central part is a liquid crystal display, which displays information from the navigation and sound system.

Music is played through the speaker system, which includes a subwoofer and eight speakers. Three adults can comfortably accommodate even in the third row of seats.
Luggage compartment
Another serious “advantage” of the Peugeot 4007 is the spacious trunk. Its volume is 185 liters (for seven-seat modification). In that case, if you add all the passenger seats, this figure increases to the level of 1686 liters. It should be noted that access to the luggage compartment is possible not only from the outside, but also from the inside of the cabin.
Main characteristics
Speaking about the main characteristics of the power plants provided for the Peugeot 4007, it is necessary to focus on the fact that they were developed on the principles of efficiency. At the same time, their power can be called quite acceptable for an SUV. At the buyer's choice, three powerplant options are offered. Two gasoline engines, the volume of which is 2.0 and 2.4 liters, were borrowed from the Mitsubishi Outlander XL. Their maximum power is respectively 147 and 170 horsepower. Both are paired with a five -speed manual gearbox (at the request of the buyer, the variator can be installed for an additional fee). The third engine option for the Peugeot 4007 is a 2.2-liter diesel engine. It was developed by French engineers and equipped with a turbocharger system. The unit is able to develop 156 "horses". Cars with such a motor are equipped with an automatic transmission of 6 steps. In any of the options, it takes a little less than 10 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km / h. As for the maximum speed of the model, it is 200 km / h. The amount of fuel consumption in the city and on the highway, respectively, is 9.5 and 5.9 liters.
Security
Peugeot 4007 deserves special words safety features. As in their other cars, the French developers paid special attention to it. Active safety is ensured mainly due to the optimized suspension and electronically controlled ABS. It should be noted that there is a program to increase the intensity of braking, as well as a system whose main purpose is to avoid wheel slippage when driving on a road surface with insufficient traction of wheels. As for passive safety, it is provided by nine airbags (in the maximum configuration of a car) and belts provided for each person in the passenger compartment. Among other things, the Peugeot 4007 provides increased strength mounts for child seats. The SUV also boasts a number of additional safety features and settings. In this case, we are talking about the possibility of blocking the engine, opening the hood from the passenger compartment, rotary xenon headlights and other equipment.
Key comments from owners
Be that as it may, nothing ideal exists in the world, so at least small but still flaws can be found in any car. The Peugeot 4007 was no exception. The characteristics of the rear suspension, as evidenced by the reviews of the owners of the car, allow it to drive about 130 thousand kilometers without any problems. After that, problems with springs and wheel bearings begin to arise . In fairness, it should be noted that this happens only with cars that are operated at full load. Can not boast a long service life and shock absorbers of the front suspension. Although the car body is not very susceptible to corrosion, its paintwork is rather weak. Quite often cracked and windshields "Peugeot 4007". The price for their replacement starts at 8.5 thousand rubles.
All engines of the model can be called reliable. The most susceptible to damage, as practice shows, are oxygen, idle, mass air flow sensors and a radiator. Manual gearboxes are durable. Along with this, in the early copies of the machine from time to time there were problems with the variator. This is not true for cars manufactured after 2010, in which the problems were resolved.
Total
In general, the Peugeot 4007 model can be called a fairly reliable and practical SUV, providing a high level of comfort and safety to its driver and passengers. Like any other car, there are flaws here, however, to call them significant will be wrong.
