Two units of Naza’s T33 Project have been spotted on the road by our own Danny Tan in Rawang! These two red cars are the latest locally assembled Peugeot cars soon to be offered in Malaysia, perhaps by the end of the year?
These shots are actually quite revealing. There are some minor tape on the car but the headlamps and tail lamps are quite clearly visible. Of course we can’t say for 100% sure if any of what we see here will make it to the final product or not.
The T33 Project is basically the Peugeot 207 Sedan, which will be built in Gurun for the local market as well as the ASEAN region. There has already been news in the Indonesian media that they will also be getting the 207 Sedan, imported from Malaysia in early 2011, so export plans are firmly in place. 18,000 of 207 Sedans are planned to be rolled out of Naza’s Gurun plant annually.
It will be offered with a 1.6 litre engine, which is a welcome upgrade from the 1.4 litre found in the Naza 206.
Look after the jump for the rest of the snapshots.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally agree that the Peugeot 207 Sedan (Project T33) looks unattractive, especially criticizing the rear overhang and overall design, with some comparing it unfavorably to other sedans like the Vios and Myvi. Several commenters mention that the car's handling is good based on test drives and praise its mechanical reliability, particularly if equipped with the proven 1.6L engine. Price and value are significant concerns, with many hoping it will be competitively priced below similar models like the 206 hatchback. There is also discussion about branding, with some questioning whether it will carry a Naza badge. Overall, sentiments lean toward disappointment in the exterior styling, while acknowledging that it may still appeal to buyers valuing brand and handling over looks.
