Category: Sporting 4x4s 
Price Range: £22,995 to £25,695
Value for money; fun to drive; good diesel engine; roomy cabin for five people.
Not a real seven-seater; not a proper Peugeot, nor a 'proper' 4x4.
A practical and easy-to-own alternative to a conventional estate car.
Six airbags are fitted as standard: two front, two side and two full-length 'curtain' airbags. There are ISOFIX child seat mounting points in all three of the rear seats, and stability and traction control are standard - the former is a must-have in an SUV with a high centre of gravity.
The Outlander has scored a respectable four stars for overall occupant protection in the Euro NCAP crash tests, with particularly good results for side impact protection. It also scored three (out of four) for child occupant protection. The 4007 hasn't been tested yet, but as it shares the same basic structure, it should achieve similar results - though it may do better than the Outlander's two stars for pedestrian protection, with its different front-end design.
Security-wise, the 4007 is kitted out with a rolling-code immobiliser, a Thatcham Category 1 alarm, deadlocks, locking wheel nuts and visible VIN.
