The Malaysian Reserve reports on its front page today that Naza and PSA Peugeot-Citroen are looking at introducing a 1.6 litre entry level car that will be sold in Malaysia and also assembled and exported from here to other ASEAN regions. This solidifies plans for Naza to turn Malaysia into Peugeot’s assembly hub for the region.
Naza currently already exports the 206 to various countries including Nepal. It is in line with Peugeot’s international entry level car strategy for this to be some variation of the 206 and since we already have the 206 in 1.4 litre variety, perhaps the new compact car will be the 207 Sedan which is essentially a 206 sedan with 207 aesthetics. A 1.6 litre engine will be good news. Ideally it should be priced around the new Hyundai Accent’s level, but who knows. There is also a 307 Sedan that exists.
Look after the jump for more shots of the 207 Sedan.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments are mostly mixed, with some praising the move to bring in a 1.6L Peugeot sedan in Malaysia as a good alternative to Japanese models if priced right around RM63K-RM68K, highlighting potential appeal to former Peugeot owners and European car enthusiasts. However, many critics find the design unattractive, especially the rear, comparing it unfavorably to other models like Proton Saga BLM or Latio sedan. Concerns about reliability, maintenance costs, and parts availability are frequently raised, with some insisting that Peugeot must demonstrate better reliability and after-sales service to succeed. Several comments mention that pricing should remain competitive, and some wish for a proper 207 sedan instead of the current "disguised" versions. Overall, while some see potential, skepticism remains about design, reliability, and market acceptance.
