The prices for the Peugeot 308 has been revealed by Nasim Sdn Bhd this morning. The cars are locally assembled and are available in two variants, the Peugeot 308 VTi at RM 96,500 and the Peugeot 308 Turbo at RM 111,000. These prices are with insurance.
Both are powered by 1.6 litre engines from the PSA-BMW Prince family and mated to Porsche Tiptronic 4-speed transmissions, but a key difference is in how air gets pushed into the engines, which directly affects its power output.
Peugeot 308 VTi – RM 95,500
The Peugeot 308 VTi shares the same powerplant as the MINI Cooper. That means variable valve timing and Valvetronic variable valve lift that enables the engine to be operated without a conventional throttle butterfly. This decreases pumping losses, which improves fuel economy. The following are the specifications for the 308 VTi model, as well as a torque curve and shift diagrams:

Peugeot 308 Turbo – RM 111,000
The Peugeot 308 Turbo has power output equivalent to a 2.0 litre competitor, but with much more torque thanks to its turbocharging technology. This is actually the engine in the MINI Cooper S but detuned to 140 horsepower (the manual version gets 150hp).

I think it’s safe to say that these specifications are the best in class at their respective price levels, especially when it comes to safety standards. There’s nothing with 4 airbags below RM100k before this, but now you have the 308 VTi. For those who want more, the 308 GT is still for sale in fully imported 3-door body form, but it is now on an order basis only (RM 159,999) as there are no more ready stock available.
Look after the jump for a full gallery of the 5-door 308 as well as a video.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments praise the Peugeot 308's design, value, and features, highlighting its affordability and sporty appeal. Many owners appreciate the powerful engine, responsive handling, and comprehensive safety features like six airbags. Some express disappointment over the 4-speed automatic gearbox, wishing for newer 5 or 6-speed options, but acknowledge that torque compensates for fewer gears. Concerns about aftersales service, spare parts availability, and build quality are raised, though recent improvements are noted. Several interviewers compare it favorably against Japanese models like Civic and Altis, emphasizing its strong value proposition, European styling, and safety. Overall, the sentiments are largely positive, with excitement about its competitive pricing, potential for future models, and its role as a strong contender in the Malaysian market.
