Fuel economy varies by engine. Diesels return combined figures from 4.9 l/100 km for the 1.6 HDi to 5.6 l/100 km for the 1.8 HDi. Petrol 2.0-litre models use 7.7 l/100 km in 2WD manual form and 8.1 l/100 km with 4WD CVT. Stop & Start is fitted on many versions to help efficiency.
Servicing follows a schedule of 15 000 km or one year on some engines and 20 000 km or one year on others. Regular checks of oil, filters and brake fluid keep the car reliable. Timing belt replacement is needed on certain diesels at longer intervals.
Safety kit is comprehensive. Seven airbags protect occupants, backed by ABS, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, ESP and hill start assist. A reversing camera is standard in some markets. The structure uses high-strength steel for energy absorption. The related Mitsubishi ASX scored five stars in Euro NCAP testing.
Living with the 4008 is straightforward. The cabin stays comfortable on longer trips thanks to climate control and adjustable seats. Practical storage and a flexible rear bench help with family or leisure use. Keep up with the service schedule and tyre pressures for best results.
