Together, the 4007 and C-Crosser were the first Japan-produced cars sold under any French brand.[citation needed] They had their sales target of 30,000 units per year.[3] It was officially launched on 12 July 2007. The standard Peugeot 4007 comes with a Holland & Holland 4007 show car.

Both vehicle had been planned to be assembled in the Nedcar plant in Born, Netherlands for the European market, however the plan was postponed indefinitely as sales of the two models fell below the target of 30,000 units.[4][5]
