PEUGEOT 4007 test drive since 2007 SUV
PEUGEOT 4007 - not just cool, but a very cool car?
No one assumed that this car would appear on sale. And here he is in Russia with his hellish kakuli grimace. How does it differ from Outlander XL? This is not just a steep, but a very cool car, because its index translates only four agents 007. Aston Martin in a deep span, BMW and Ford, by the way, too. Bonds piled in Peugeot.
An employee of the representative office, issuing a car, warned: do not compare with Outlander XL. Peugeot has completely different customers. He's right. No matter how wild it may sound. The Russian market is very kind. Everything is sold here. Even Ssangyong Actyon and Subaru Tribeca B9. So, they buy Peugeot 4007.
True, the fanatics of all French will have to endure that there is no difference with Mitsubishi inside. The finish is not changed at all. While driving, the Peugeot lover will see Outlander, and, admiring the car from the window of his cottage, see the 4007th. They say that the French are the largest nationalists throughout Europe. Only with SUVs are sour. It is strange that in such a country with large mountain massifs, dotted off-road routes, where quite a lot of foreign 4x4 is sold, a national jeep was not created.
This is what women do Instead of a spare, by chance, not a tfal pan? One kind acquaintance asked me. And the other added something about the fried frog in the first-aid kit. I spat on them and, turning on the full volume of Marseilles, went to the shoot. Although there is nothing sophisticated in the appearance of the REUGEOT crossover, for some reason it seems to me that women will be the main buyers. Because I can’t imagine a man who chooses Mitsubishi when he wants Peugeot. This is a purely female act. And he is not appropriate for a girl, but a family lady who will like the capacity of the 4007th. Seven places. By the way, a purely French exclusive, you won’t wait for such an option from the Japanese.
So, gambling, with a big family businesswoman, congratulations, you won! Take your Peugeot from the nearest dealer and prepare 963,500 rubles for the simplest version.
Matter: Peugeot 4007
WILL WAIT A complete list of differences between Outlander and the 4007th, except for the seven-seater salon, officially includes reconfigured suspension, brakes and hydraulic power. But in reality, everything is much simpler, and the main differences are smaller clearance (174 mm versus 215 mm in Mitsu) and different wheels. PEUGEOT is shod in low-profile rubber 245/45R18, with which the 4007th is better controlled, gives more sharp reactions on the steering wheel, but worse goes on off-road and suffers from asphalt irregularities. Outlander, in turn, is equipped with higher -profile wheels 225/55 R18, which are less likely to break on bumps.
The feeling of a car practically does not leave the driver of the 4007th. Only the variator at low speeds is too lazy. When overtaking without thinking, press the gas pedal on the floor, then the car will revive. His noise becomes
frank at 6,000 revolutions. The sound should accelerate, especially the frisky outside 100 km/h almost reactive. Ideal for overtaking on the highway, when you type 120140 km/h for the maneuver. In this range of differences in a small engine of 2.4 liters (which is equipped with Peugeot) from a more powerful engine with a volume of 3 l (available on Mitsubishi). However, the Japanese still do not give the French a three -liter unit. But Peugeot and Mitsubishi have a common diesel, which, however, has not yet been supplied to our market. For their own
Representatives of Peugeot are not talking about large profits from the sales of the crossover in Russia. They brought him for a limited audience of fans of the brand. And we will go to XL so far, especially since it is a couple of thousand dollars cheaper.
But the truly French crook, as the Renault Scenic RX4, was not stopping to wait. Someday he must appear and surprise us with something except his jaws.
