Mitsubishi, Citroen-Peugeot alliance working on new SUV

The Franco-Japanese alliance is proceeding, giving fruit to new projects: after cooking up a SUV family of medium-big size, Mitsubishi and Citroen/Peugeot are reported to be in negotiations to expand their collaboration.

The new product, based on the more compact dimensions and showy personality of the Concept cX, would be different in order to create aesthetically diverse cars. The cleaner 1.8 diesel (with 134 and 280 Nm) seen on the prototype would most likely be used on the series, perhaps together with the SST shift and double clutch.

In the meantime reports are that Peugeot is working on the 3008, a soft-roader proposed with double traction choice (front and integrated) and interior for seven passengers.
