Peugeot 4007 4x4 2.2 HDi SE

For:
The 4007 has a smooth, flexible engine and it handles well. It's competitively equipped and roomy for five adults.

Against:
It's quite expensive, but the plastics aren't very classy and the third-row seats are cramped and uncomfortable.



Performance

There's only one engine - a 2.2-litre diesel unit with 154bhp. That doesn't sound like much, but it's accompanied by a healthy 280lb ft of pulling muscle. There's a good amount of urge away from a standing start, but it's the 4007's flexibility on-the-move that's more appealing.

Ride & handling

The 4007 handles sharply for a 4x4, thanks to firm suspension that limits body lean through corners. The steering and gearshift have a well-weighted, precise feel, too. The payoff for this control is a firm ride, though, which can get irritating around town. In the four-wheel drive models, a switch allows you to select between front and four-wheel drive, or an automatic mode that directs power to whichever wheels need it.

Refinement

The engine is reasonably refined and smooth, though you're still aware it's a diesel. There's a bit too much wind and road noise present at motorway speed, which makes long journeys more tiring than they should be. The abrupt clutch can be a pain in stop-start traffic, too.

Buying & owning

The list prices for the 4007 certainly aren't cheap, but you should have little difficulty securing a discount. It's unlikely to retain its value as well as the class leaders, and running costs are no better than average. The 4007 averages less than 40mpg on the standard 16-inch alloy wheels, and even less on the range-topping GT's 18-inch wheels.

Quality & reliability

The 4007's cabin doesn't have the plush materials and showroom appeal of a Freelander or BMW X3, so it doesn't feel anywhere near as classy. However, it has a sturdy feel throughout and appears to be built to stand the test of time. Peugeot has upped its game in recent reliability surveys, and Mitsubishi's involvement should make the car more robust.

Safety & security

The 4007's four-wheel-drive system gives it fine traction in slippery conditions, and you get electronic brakeforce distribution and stability control. All models have six airbags, too. An alarm, immobiliser and deadlocks are provided to keep your car safe from thieves.

Behind the wheel

The steering wheel only adjusts for height, but most drivers will find it easy enough to make themselves comfortable because there's plenty of seat adjustment to compensate. The high driving position gives a pretty good view out, too. The dash is neat and uncluttered, and the switchgear is clearly marked and well placed.

Space & practicality

Use the 4007 as a five-seater and you won't be disappointed. Cabin space is generous and the boot is big. Two more seats are stowed under the boot floor, but these have little padding and knee space is extremely tight - that defeats the object of offering seven seats. The boot also shrinks to miniscule proportions when the rearmost seats are up.

Equipment

There are two trims, and even the entry SE models come reasonably well kitted. You get alloy wheels, front and rear electric windows, climate and cruise control and an MP3-compatible CD player. Stepping up to the range-topping GT model brings bigger alloy wheels, as well as luxuries such as electrically adjustable and heated front seats, leather upholstery, a CD multichanger and parking sensors.
