The first SUV from Peugeot has landed in South Africa and it’s
called the Peugeot 4008. It seems the 4008 SUV is more than just a sugar
mommies school run car and will surely be keeping South African sugar daddies
happy with its all-terrain capability.
The all-new Peugeot 4008 SUV comes in two variants, the
Active and Allure, and both are fitted with a 110kW 2.0-litre petrol engine
that produces 197Nm of torque at 4 200rpm. The engine is mated with a
Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT) and the all-wheel drive system is
available in three dynamic modes for different driving conditions, depending
how precariously you decide to drive the 4008.
Although not the fastest SUV out on the tarmac, the 4008 is
capable of hitting 100km/h in 10.9 seconds while reaching a cruising top-speed
of 188km/h. The combined-cycle fuel consumption of the 4008 is 8.1 litres/100km
and displays a CO2 emission figure of 191g/km.
Let’s be honest, from the outside the 4008 takes on a wild ‘leopard
stalks prey’ persona with its slanted feline-like headlights and not to mention
the ‘clawed’ LED strips forming part of the wrap-around tail lights on the rear
end. From the outside, the 4008 certainly looks impressive and is perfectly suited
for the great outdoors.
To complement this feline design approach, the 4008 also
exhibits a comfortable and elegant interior to make those outdoor adventures so
much more exciting. The interior is fitted with cloth upholstery for the Active
variant while the Allure variant is fitted with genuine leather. Both models
are fitted with a wide range of standard equipment while the Allure variant
includes a Cielo panoramic sunroof and electrically adjustable front seats that
are heated too.
In terms of safety, ABS with EBD and EBA is included as well
as stability and traction control. Seven airbags protect passengers and a rigid
passenger cell with deformation and side impact protection zones further
enhance safety of the 4008.
