The new six-speed gearbox has been mated to the revised 154bhp 2.2-litre diesel engine, and is available at the VTR+ and Exclusive trim levels.
The gearbox can be used as a manual and automatic, with paddle-shifts located behind the steering wheel. Drivers can select a 'Sport' mode to speed up changes.
The automatic version averages 38.7mpg and emits 192g/km of CO2, while the manual does 40.4mpg and emits 185g/km.
The interior modifications include an updated dashboard with new chrome inserts and vents, while automatic wipers are now standard across the range. Bluetooth connectivity will also be standard on Exclusive trim models.
Peugeot has added a six-speed dual clutch semi-automatic gearbox to its 4007 SUV. In the Peugeot 4007 DCS, it will be mated to a 156bhp 2.2 litre diesel engine, with combined fuel consumption of 38.7mpg and CO2 emissions 192g/km.
With the dual clutch system the 4007 DCS can be operated as an auto’ or manually with gear shifts delivered via steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
The new semi-automatic gearbox is available on the seven seat SE and GT versions of the 4007, which will be distinguished from manual models by new rear twin exhausts. Inside revisions are also being made across the 4007 range including a new LCD screen and changes to the trim around the instruments.
Prices aren't changing, so expect to pay £23,345 for both SUV's.
