Peugeot 4008: 2012–2017 compact crossover, engines and trims
Peugeot 4008 – a compact crossover produced from 2012 to 2017 and developed in partnership with Mitsubishi and Citroën. Here, we look at the engines, trims, and what to check when buying a used 4008.
4008 in brief
4008 – a five-door compact crossover that is technically similar to the Mitsubishi ASX and Citroën C4 Aircross. It comes with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
This is a practical family car with a raised driving position. It's rare on the used market, so your choice is limited.
Which version to choose
The 4008 was produced in a single generation, so the main differences are the engine, drivetrain, and trim. Later models received additional refinements.
When choosing, consider the service history and engine: petrol is great for city driving, diesel for those who cover more miles.
Engines and gearboxes
Available petrol engines (1.6 and 2.0-litre) and diesels (HDi). Exact power outputs vary by version.
Gearboxes are manual or automatic. Some models have all-wheel drive.
What to check when buying a used 4008
In a diesel car, check the particulate filter, turbo, and cambelt. Listen for any unusual noises from the engine and ask for the service history.
If the car has all-wheel drive, test it and listen for any unusual noises. The automatic gearbox should shift smoothly.
Inspect the body and suspension, and check the electronic features.
