It is based on the same platform as the Mitsubishi ASX, and the Citroën C4 Aircross, and was developed in collaboration, with the Japanese manufacturer, Mitsubishi Motors. Its début was at the Geneva Motor Show, in March 2012, along with the smaller 208.[3] Sales started in April 2012, with availability from May 2012. The car was replaced by the second-generation 3008, in January 2017.[4]

As of January 2017, the 4008 was only sold in France, Luxembourg, China, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Slovakia, Russia, Ukraine, Mongolia, Romania,[5] Bulgaria,[6] Germany, South Africa, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Norway, countries of the Baltic, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia, while its related twin, the C4 Aircross, was being sold in more countries globally, including European countries not listed above, but neither United Kingdom nor Ireland, in RHD.[7] Groupe PSA (then known as PSA Peugeot Citroën) confirmed this in October 2011.[8]

Recalls

Models sold from 2 April 2012 through 31 December 2015 were recalled in June 2017, owing to a suspected fault with the vehicles' tailgate gas springs.[9] Models sold from 1 June 2012 through 29 November 2013 were again recalled in September 2017, owing to concerns that the windscreen wiper motors could fill with water and seize.[10]
