Peugeot 4007 road test
The 2.2 litre 4 cylinder 16 valve diesel engine in the 4007 generates a healthy 156bhp at 4,000 revs, giving the 4007 enough power to make it appealing to drive if not lightning quick from a standing start. The engine also generates 285 lb ft of torque at 2,000 revs, giving the driver plenty of the low down power which Peugeot diesel engines are renowned for. The 4007 is a fairly large and heavy vehicle, weighing in at 2410 Kg gross weight, however the engine does have enough in its locker to move all of this weight along comfortably. On motorways you should not ever feel short of opportunities to overtake, equally the 4007 will cruise comfortably at 70 mph between 2,000 and 3000 revs. Power isn’t exactly delivered in an urgent fashion although the 4007 does feel livelier than a lot of its competitors.

The 4007 is a great looking, nice to drive entry into the SUV market for Peugeot. It has a lot to offer in terms of ride, drive and presence on the road whilst insurance groups of 12-13 a combined MPG of 38.6 for the Sport and GT models is impressive in this vehicle sector. Peugeot will undoubtedly have a host of appealing personal contract purchase offers on this range with the only possible worry in ownership set to be the depreciation rate. However as the Peugeot 4007 is only available as a diesel option it should not be too much of a worry.
