The new images - including dynamic and interior shots, follow the preview released by Peugeot back in October 2006.

From the official Press Release:

Design

Designed by the Peugeot Style Centre in Velizy, the 4007 displays its affinity to the Marque through its "feline style".

With a length of 4.64m and a width of 1.80m, the 4007 stands out by its height (1.67m) and above all by its ground clearance (174mm), a sign of its off-road capabilities.

The roof is in aluminium to lighten the upper vehicle weight by 5 kg and thereby reduces the centre of gravity by around 4mm.

The front end expresses robustness and sporting look and is characterized by a wide, open front grille, a typical Peugeot’s styling cue for the current models.

This dynamic appearance is strengthened by the finish of the lower front panel, which incorporates fog lamps and air intakes embellished with chrome surrounds.

Almond-shaped smooth-glass headlamps are positioned over the front wings, forming the link between the wraparound front panel, the wings and the ribbed bonnet which enhances the luxurious and robust appearance of 4007.

A large Peugeot badge is set at the front of the centre ribbed design located at the top leading edge of the bonnet.

The curved wings contribute to the strong presence of the vehicle.

Its wide wheel arches, large alloy wheels and elevated ground clearance provide clear evidence of the dynamic potential of the 4007, regardless of where it is to be driven.

The elegant profile of the 4007 also reinforces its sporty appearance, thanks in particular to an aerodynamic roof line. Chrome finish to the window frames and sill mouldings are tasteful highlights that provide genuine attractive qualities.

The style at the rear is accentuated by translucent ruby lights with a curved profile, and located under the rear screen they frame a brushed aluminium trim with the Peugeot brand clearly displayed above the chrome Lion logo.

While the lower tailgate extends down to the body sill to preserve the robust structure and elegant appearance of 4007, the design incorporates an upper opening hatch with a glazed rear screen and provides convenient access to the boot area.

Interior

The interior design also enhances the sporty and luxury feel of the 4007. The black fascia panel, with its special soft texture, has a clear and attractive style. Instrumentation has deep contoured dials with a sports layout with information and warning details displayed between the tachometer and speedometer dials.

The interior is trimmed throughout with a strong Peugeot identity. An aluminium coloured finish is used to highlight air vent surrounds, grab handles and other key controls. The seats are manufactured from a high-quality three-part fabric, adding a further sporty touch. This also applies to the seats in the versions trimmed in high quality leather that also features attractive visible stitching.

The 4007 can accommodate up to seven people, thanks to a third row of seats which retracts into the floor of the boot.

The row-two seats split 40/60 and can slide over a distance of 80mm. The entire bench seat can be folded in a concertina fashion by means of an automatic device.

its has a highly modular load area to permit a boot volume of up to 510 dm3 under the parcel shelf (VDA standard) in the 5-seat configuration, which can be extended to 1686 dm3 in the two-seat configuration.

In addition, due to its split tailgate configuration, the flat loading sill height is only 600mm from the ground.

With seven people in the car, the boot volume to the level of the row-three seat backs is still 184 dm3. The boot is easily accessible and loadable thanks to the split opening tailgate, is easy to load. The lower part of the tailgate can take a load of 200 kg.

Technical Features

This 4007 is produced in partnership with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.

It is powered by a new 2.2-litre HDi engine with DPFS (Diesel Particulate Filter System), which delivers 156bhp and 380Nm of torque. It can be coupled with two or four-wheel drive system.

The power train, mounted in the transverse position, is positioned within the chassis which is reinforced by a central cross member under the engine.

Hydraulic mountings, combined with a set of reaction link rods, reduce the transmission of engine vibration.
