Peugeot reckons it will be stylish, economical and easy to drive in the city. But it will also be tough reliable and exceptionally flexible outside the city limits as well. Big claims, but then Peugeot have been building some very good vehicles recently.

“Australians have very specific and wide-ranging demands for these vehicles and there are a couple of 4008 models under development that are spot-on for us,” marketing manager Richard Grant said. “Now it’s down to equipping these models suitably and negotiating the best possible prices for what is arguably the most competitive car market in the world.”

He said that in the tradition of the marque equipment levels will be generous, making the 4008 exceptional value for money. Available items will include many typical Peugeot touches, such as a panoramic glass roof, Bluetooth/USB connectivity and LED daytime running lights.

“The 4008 - in both 2WD and 4WD- will complement the existing 3008 and 4007 perfectly in the Peugeot model range, and all three will be on sale side-by-side,” Grant said. “The compact SUV segment is exciting and growing and the 4008 will considerably broaden our appeal across the market. It will be our compact SUV while 3008 is our luxury compact offering. For its part the recently repositioned 4007 will appeal to buyers who need something a bit bigger, especially if they need to tow.”

Peugeot Automobiles Australia expects the 4008 to go on sale locally in the second quarter of next year, following its world première at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
