From 2007 road test of Peugeot 4007

Memo to Friends of the Earth: 4x4 SUVs are now reproducing at a faster rate than any other type of vehicle.

At the last count there were at least 65 different 4x4 SUVs either available now or about to be on the UK market.

Here's a list: Audi Allroad, Audi Q7, BMW X3, BMW X5, BMW X6, Cadillac SRX, Citroen C-Crosser, Daihatsu Terios, Dodge Nitro, FIAT Panda 4x4, FIAT Sedici, Ford Kuga, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Terracan, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander, KIA Sportage, KIA Sorento, Land Rover Freelander, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery, Lexus RX, Mazda CX-7, Mercedes ML, Mercedes GL, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi Shogun, Nissan Qashqai, Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Murano, Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Patrol, Peugeot 4007, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover, Renault Koleos, SEAT Altea Freetrack, Skoda Octavia Scout, Ssangyong Kyron, Ssangyong Rexton II, Subaru Forester, Subaru Outback, Subaru Tribeca, Suzuki SX4, Suzuki Jimny, Suzuki Ignis 4GRIP, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Toyota RAV-4, Toyota LandCruiser LC, Toyota Landcruiser Amazon, VW Tiguan, VW Touareg, Volvo XC60, Volvo XC70, Volvo XC90.

However, our tree hugging friends need not be unduly alarmed. Many of the new generation of 4x4 SUVs actually emit less CO2 than older model family hatchbacks.

And the new Peugeot 4007 is no exception. Its 191g/k is lower than the old shape MINI Cooper S.

Like the Mitsubishi Outlander of which it and the Citroen C-Crosser are really mildly repannelled clones, it's good to drive and conveys a satisfying impression of Japanese build quality.
