The all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV has been officially launched in Malaysia. First unveiled over in Europe in 2016, the new 3008 SUV now comes in two variants for our market - The Active variant is priced at RM142,888 while the Allure variant is offered at RM155,888 in Peninsular Malaysia only (on-the- road price without insurance).
Nasim Sdn Bhd, the official distributors of Peugeot here have stated that they are looking to sell about 400 units of the 3008 SUV here. This is about 22% of the total sales volume that they intend to hit. 1,800 units is the target for Peugeot this year and with this new stylish SUV, they hope to achieve it.
The 3008 SUV comes with a 1.6liter THP engine. This is the latest of a familiar series of 1.6liter engines utlised in most Peugeots today. It makes 167ps and 240 Nm of torque, and channels this power to the front wheels via a 6 speed automatic gearbox.
Being a Peugeot, the car comes specced with a lot of gadgetry and equipment. The interior is as unique as the exterior, especially if you notice that Peugeot instrument cluster over the steering wheel setup that the latest Peugeots have. The whole car is very distinctive. It does look better than the 3008 that it replaces. That had opinion dividing looks, especially the pre-facelift model (very toothy grille type of car). This is so much better looking I must say.
The 3008 SUV will be available in five colours - Metallic Copper, Magnetic Blue, Amazonite Grey, Ultimate Red and Pearl White. If you want to take a look at it, the All-New 3008 SUV is currently on display in showrooms nationwide.
All Peugeot models come with five-year manufacturer’s warranty, together with Nasim’s existing 24-hours Peugeot Assistance service and complimentary access to the Sky Park Subang.

in difficult driving conditions. It also features Advanced Grip Control and the Hill Assist Descent
Control (HADC) which provides security for drivers when descending on steep slopes by reducing
the risk of the vehicle slipping or losing control when travelling downhill in both forward or reverse
gears. Both these features and the 180° reverse camera are the first in its class for the All-New
Peugeot 3008 SUV. As a result, the All-New 3008 SUV achieved a full five-star rating from EURO
