Peugeot 4007 – 7 Seater 4x4 (4WD)
The Peugeot 4007 is a unique collaboration between Peugeot, their sister company Citreon and Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi to create a 4x4 7 seater car. The 4007 is built by Mitsubishi and based on their hugely popular Outlander 4x4 model, with Peugeot providing the engine and styling. The Citreon C-Crosser is also very similar. Although this amalgamation of designs does produce a very high quality car, the slightly strange front end of the Peugeot 4007 may put off some buyers.
