If Land Rover built a two-seater sports car would you buy it? The brand has never made one before so there'd have to be some suspicion that it had ventured too far from its comfort zone. Suspicion in the car market is not a good thing, not in a sector that's packed with models from brands that buyers have come to trust. Don't hold your breath for a Land Rover roadster but many of the issues that such a car would face were confronted by Peugeot when it launched its 4007 SUV. The French marque had no history with 4x4s and although that hadn't held other manufacturers back, it must have been a concern. Peugeot neatly ducked the issue and enlisted SUV experts Mitsubishi to help.

About the Peugeot 4007

The 4007 arrived on the scene at a time when the compact 4x4 market was booming with numerous unlikely manufacturers rushing to get in on the act. Few were more unlikely than Peugeot but with a little help from its friends at Mitsubishi, the French marque managed to pull off a competitive product. The 4007 is composed on the road and as capable off it as most owners will need it to be. The interior is toughly built and feels more like that of a Mitsubishi than a Peugeot while practicality is a definite strong suit. The styling will divide opinion but in general, the 4007 is a commendable first attempt at an SUV from Peugeot.
