PEUGEOT 4007 test drive since 2007 SUV

Cheshire Lion: PEUGEOT 4007 test drive

6:32. Toothbrush. Morning kefir with a glazed cheese. Boots. 16 floors with an elevator. Steps of the access echo. Morning freshness of the wing steps
Oh, how pretty !!! The wife almost screeched.
Yes, what are you! Fail God, parked yawning a mother -in -law.
And what do you not like, Lyudmila Zakharovna?! I.
Yes, there is nothing (pause, looking at). Just his mouth
Thus began our new day with a new experimental member of the Peugeot 4007 family. How many people, as they say
Yes, he really has what needs to be! I looked a little and, op !!! You are already food. Do not click with its beak, the king of car animals with an ax went hunting. On whom? It is not important. The main thing is that he is always ready to attack. Look, take a look at what his teeth he has. Clap! Klaz! Sham Sham. And again, a carefree Cheshire smile, I will not come up, I will break! The story of this smile is very simple. There are Japanese. There are French. They agreed to jointly create a universal platform. And created. They also agreed to design a car on this platform in general, they did, as they said, and a crossover was born. The truth is his faces and names, by the way, too. In Japan, this handsome man is called Mitsubishi Outlander XL (the first to be the first in 2006). In France, he has a double name: Citroen C-Crosser and, in fact, Peugeot 4007. That's all wisdom.
The production of a 2.4-liter 170-horsepower fourth MIVEC with adjustable phases of gas distribution of the 4007th can bring not so much. Especially if she works in tandem with a variator. The accelerator always wants to be colder, especially when you need to sharply accelerate in the stream. TOP on the pedal. The countdown went: once, once and a half, well, why are you so slow, dear?! Two after a moment, the electronics recover, monotonously begins to raise the engine speed and translates the wedge -up variator to a decrease. The long -awaited acceleration stream. Eh, here the engine would help (maximum thrust 232 Newton -meter - it falls at 4100 rpm), and the brains are faster. Although, in principle, 10.4 seconds to hundreds for 1700 kilogram carcasses are not so bad. Moreover, with an average consumption of 17.5 liters per hundred kilometers (according to passport 12.6) and compliance with the standards of Euro 4. What else to want? More dynamics? Please! There is a manual mode of control of a power unit. You can go into it in two ways to slap a selector to the left, or start to wield it with steering licenses. In terms of numbers, you will not improve the result, but you will do more dynamically. Since you can always smoke lowered and keep the engine in advance in advance.
Again not enough? In this case, a version with a mechanical five -speed box (there is a six -a -a way) is in store. She makes a sprint to a hundredth in 9.2 seconds. What? Not okay? Well, what is it! Give the automatic-AT clearly! In this case, the recipe is only one three-liter 220-horsepower outlander with a hydrotransformer box. On it 100 km/h, from a place you will exchange in 9.7 seconds. And if you want to save, the French can offer a diesel 2.2-liter variation about 156 horsepower.
In general, 4007 pets in reserve have many trump cards. For example, controllability and stability for this Japanese chassis I want to praise and praise. In its habits, sneakers resemble many well -tuned medium -sized cars. Of course, there is no need to expect reference behavior from him, but what the Japanese achieved deserves great respect. The body over the road, thanks to independent pendants, goes very tightly, it does not fall in the hooks and rolls. From threatening air pits and hillocks, he shooks very moderately, and he does not give a damn about potholes and potholes and potholes. The pendants are well done, they perfectly combined the incompatible. On the asphalt 4007 stands and steer simply wonderful. Trajective screening? Very little. What cross is not sinning the floor of the penalty point for a slight indigestion of rut.
The steering to the helm of information delivers exactly as much as it is necessary to understand what is happening under the wheels. Zero clear. The reactive force in the turns is also adequate. For this, a low bow to the power steering. But in critical situations, with intensive shifting the vector of the direction of the hydrachic performance, frankly lacking. It is a pity, of course, the brakes work perfectly. True, from habit, it will seem to many that the pedal is too sensitive. Chicane? Yes maybe. But in dense urban traffic, this is good, however, in any other conditions too.
But actually, that's enough to chew rubber on the asphalt, let's fall on the leash! What is here? We put four for geometric cross -country ability, the overhangs are too big. A reserve is suspended below the trunk, and the swords are suspended above it: to attach the fifth wheel on the soil, jumping from the next boulder, just spit (the good on it is a steel disk, there would be a pipe in general, you can split it).
What else boasts of a crossover? A multi -mode transmission ON Demand 4WD (all -wheel drive on demand). This transmission on the front wheels is always the torque, and from time to time with the help of a locking dry electromagnetic coupling ... In total, three modes are provided in the transmission: front -wheel drive 2WD, connected by a full 4WD and full permanent location (you can switch during movement) .
The first regime can only be called honestly partly, since in it the rear axle when slipping the front wheels is still looking. True, he does this much later and less willingly than in 4WD mode. What is it - reinsurance? Yes. In some cases, on a light thaw, negligent drivers who have forgotten to connect the rear bridge forcibly, this reinsurance will not get stuck. But on slippery coating in extreme conditions with 2WD there can be incidents.

For the time being, the car under the gas in the bend demonstrates insufficient rotation. And the more gas on the arc, the more clearly the demolition of the front axis is clearly expressed. A little more traction, and to troubles, it is a stone's throw as soon as the back axis, insufficient rotation, will change neutral, and if the coupling turns on sharply (depends on the speed and intensity of gas operation), demolition can completely be replaced by a skid.
Inexperienced drivers who do not feel the nuances of a change in the nature of the rotation, it will be more difficult to catch a car. So with a pseudo-transplant mode you need to be more careful. I hasten to reassure, all of the above is fair at low speeds and only when the anti -buxes with a system of dynamic stabilization are disabled. If the electronic helps are activated, troubles of this kind will pass.
By the way, I really liked the work of the contrasting system. She admits transverse slides, but stops them very gently. And even if you deactivated the system, at high speed it will still turn on automatically. Safety above all!
On slightly carrying soils, in order to increase the threshold of staging, connecting the rear bridge to block the clutch in advance. Diagonal hanging for the SUV was a task from the category of executable. And although there are no differential locks here, it is possible to overcome the obstacle to the diagonal. Roting idle wheels are blocked by the brake system under the strict guidance of the control electronics. So the rollers that have a grip with soil, the torque will not be deprived in any case (in this case, it is better to activate Lock).
Inside, everything is quite life -affirming. Not bad, like Mitsubishi Lancer Design, tough, like Mitsubishi Lancer, but pleasant in appearance plastic. A little noisy (mainly from tires), but in general nothing. At the wheel is to sit normally. What is missing is the adjustment of the steering column by departure. The places were stumbled behind. I liked the cut -off sofa with a back adjustable in tilt. The sofa, as by order, can be folded only by pressing the button in the trunk. Convenient, damn it! But there was even my nine-year-old tribe to sit freely on miniature seats of the third row (they also have C-Crosser). I myself (188 cm in height) also climbed there, but I could not go for a long time. Unless only in extreme cases, it seems that it is possible to carry in the trunk on the third row only children of the rising sun, it is not for nothing that seven -seater outlanders are sold only in Japan.
Toys, cones, mormyshki also have where to dump. Along the perimeter of the cabin, there are a lot of niches and containers. There are only two glove boxes (upper, by the way, cooled and, accordingly, heated). The sound is quite itself. 4.1 Rockford Fosgate Channel Audiosystem with a sub -saved submarine, which is from the outlander, issues a very high -quality sound. Multimedia is equipped with an integrated music server (30 GB) and allows you to talk by phone, as it has a Bluetooth radio module. But the built -in navigation is still inactive. Representation is now preparing cards by all means, in the fall they are already hoping to release. In the meantime, the streets of Paris, DVD, and the facade of the car standing behind, can be displayed on the touch monitor. The latter, however, is only during mooring. The parking chamber here is very vigilant even at night, and if for some reason the lens has become stuck, it doesn’t matter, parking sensors integrated into the rear bumper will come to the rescue.
Well, all this is wonderful. But how much will the Russian Gulles need to get lion's pharynx into property? Minimum 963 500. This will be the easiest gasoline car with a mechanical five-stroke, equipped with six airbags (two front, two side, two curtains of the first and second rows), a system of dynamic stabilization of ASC, fog lights, halogen light, mp3-audiosystem, multifunctional wheel , climate control, heated front seats, heated electric grinders, headlight washing, a seven-seater salon, cruise control, an on-board computer, heated windshield, sixteenth alloy wheels, rails and immobilizer.
If you want the car, you will have to pay more steeply. The most sophisticated copy (as ours) in the color of metallic with a variator, xenon light, multimedia system, navigation, rear view camera, parking sensors, leather salon, hatch and other gifts of civilization will cost 1 million 255 thousand rubles. Well, as for competitors, Peugeot smiles at all 74 teeth, and is always ready to clash with them in a deadly battle. There is no doubt that this fight will not doubt it. Indeed, in the arsenal of the 4007th there are many trump cards: it is excellent controllability, very perky dynamics, a four-star rating according to the Euro NCAP testing method (crash tests in 2007 took place Outlander XL), a seven-seater salon and a sea of \u200b\u200bcharm. Not only I have been noticed at the 4007th Wad now with much greater interest than Outlander two years ago. In general, the French wanted to achieve what they wanted to achieve. They turned out to be a very image and very bright car with low blood. But such, in fact, is only from the nose to the middle of the hood, otherwise it is the good old Mitsubishi Outlander XL.
