If you would like a crossover SUV that can handle the demands of the school run and the dirt tracks of a remote forest with equal aplomb, the new Peugeot 4007 may well be for you.

The priority for the 4007’s designers was to create a vehicle with the flexibility to perform equally well on urban roads, highways and off-road. The three driving modes available equip the driver for all types of condition and terrain. Four-wheel drive (4WD) gives you exceptionally stable road holding on any surface and any condition. On dry and solid road surfaces, however, changing into two-wheel drive can improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions. And, should you ever find yourself travelling over particularly difficult ground, the advanced four-wheel drive ‘lock mode’ automatically allocates greater power and traction to the wheel or wheels that need it most.

The 4007 is a practical beast that seats seven in great comfort or offers an impressive 1,686 litres of storage space with all rear seats folded. Its multifarious active and passive safety features include ABS brakes and an Electronic Stability Programme.
