PeugeotPSA Peugeot Citroën has agreed with its partner Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) to transfer the production of the Peugeot 4007 and Citroën C-Crosser to Europe. Currently assembled in the MMC Japanese Mizushima factory, vehicles for the European market will, from January 2009, be manufactured in the Dutch "Ned Car" factory, which is wholly owned by MMC. The decision to locate production in Europe will thus enable PSA Peugeot Citroën to respond more quickly to changes in European SUV demand. This market segment remains one of the most dynamic in Europe. The Peugeot 4007 and Citroën C-Crosser, the group’s first SUVs, were launched in Europe in the 3rd quarter of 2007.

RenaultMaking its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Koleos, Renault’s first 4x4 crossover, is ideal for escaping the everyday routine, comfortable, easy to drive and boasts genuine off-road ability. It has been designed to be versatile too, offering the same reassuring drive when motoring in and around town, on open roads and motorways, as it does when it is taken off the beaten track. At the same time, Koleos delivers the same levels of comfort expected in a hatchback, as well as cabin space worthy of a compact MPV.

VolkswagenThe Scirocco’s back. Beneath striking new styling lies the most dynamic and technologically advanced production coupé Volkswagen has ever built. The essence of the original Scirocco is apparent in its modern day successor. The mix of distinctive coupé styling, a practical hatchback boot, a transversely mounted four-cylinder engine channelling drive through the front wheels and sharp, responsive dynamics that made the Scirocco such a success at launch in 1974 remains. Yet every element of the new vehicle’s construction belongs firmly in the present day.
