Critoen, Outlander, 4007 rear and interior similarities!!

The back AND INTERIOR looks exactly identical.
I know that Critoen is under Peugeot so I can understand the similarities but they took the rear design from the Mitsubishi Outlander

outlander



Peugeot 4007



Citreon c-crosser



I'm a bit confused between the relationship of Mitsubishi and Peugeot. Anyone got a clue?

The 3 companies decided to develop this car together. Mitsubishi is responsible for the exterior and interior side of the engineering, so all 3 cars look similar and have an identical interior.

That's modern day automotive engineering for you. Unless I'm mistaken, all the cars are built by Mitsubishi in Japan, with PSA engines going into the two "French" cars and VW diesels into the Mitsu version.

^ You know, it really is astounding to me that all these people got together -- an exemplar of global industrial cooperation, lots of long video conferences, thousands of man hours spent on two continents, and a big carbon footprint from all the crossing back and forth over half the world on the company BBJ.

All the excitement. All the enthusiasm ...and THIS! is the result -- one has to wonder why they bothered.

Maybe they just want to speed up the development process, Pegeout and Critoen probably didn't have a development program for a mid sized SUV, and they are desperate for one, so they created this last min job. Renault is better, their new mid size SUV, the Koleos uses Nissan X-trail mechanicals, but it has different exterior and interior styling.

They really didn't "get together", the 2 French vehicles are just re-badged versions of the Mitsu.

Well, Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda have been doing this for a loooooooong time already. Heck, the flippers behind the steering wheel are almost the same in a Veyron and VW Golf with DSG
