Ah, if you’ve been waiting for the Peugeot RCZ to arrive, your wait is just about over. Nasim will be launching the 2+2 coupe next week, almost to a year since our test drive report on the car came out, and the car will come in two output versions, 156 hp and 200 hp.
What’s more, there’s a manual transmission option, in line with the resurgence for stick shifters in the market. Good news for enthusiasts.
The 1.6 litre twin-scroll turbocharged BMW-PSA Prince mill, in 156 hp and 240 Nm form, gets plonked into the automatic variant, which comes in six-speed form, while the six-speed manual transmission is available in the 200 hp, 275 Nm version.
The car, which sits on the same platform as the 308, features sound system technology that enhances the driving experience through different engine harmonics according to the rate of acceleration.
The RCZ is the second of three models to be launched by Nasim this year and will be part of a roadshow at the Bangsar Shopping Centre from May 20-22, so that’s the date and place to pen down if you’re thinking of catching the car in the metal.
wow…gudbye TT…welcome RCZ
i BOOKED ONE AND GETTING MINE DELIVERED SOON !!!! WOHOO !
How much is it?
I envy you. What is the waiting period?
Good choice bro & enjoy your ride.
how much?
can share what spec came with what price ?
Price? i eager to CR-Z ,but then no new update at all :P
now day more styling RC-Z here,hehe man name is close
Still depend on price.
betul ka ni?
price price?? please~~~
so apparently…u cant tell the price u book…using ur AX black card i guess..
he booked pay rm5k first. balance when the car arrive only pay la.. how to know the price now…. :)
its at ard $230K, 1.6 turbo auto, mine is the same color that showed in the photo.
launching for media is 1 day before 20th and I am invited as I ordered the car from someone in top in Naza….
Delivering in June……
I bet it’ll be around Mini One’s price for the 156BHP and around Mini Cooper S for the 200BHP version~.
i am betting it will be lower than that knowing the history of naza bringing in affordable motoring to the malaysian masses.
my guess:
156bhp = 160k
200bhp = 200k
1 buck per HP… hahaha
honestly, 160K for the 156bhp 6sp auto is quite ok, given that it is CBU.
i think…
156 bhp – RM180k
200 bhp – RM220-230k
i highly doubt so.they’ll be stupid to price it lower or the same as the 207CC or 308CC.
i think it should be just about 5k-10k more than those 2 model. Hope so
Awesome car, wonder how much?
Pretty car. Any test drive unit?
although the stick shifter is no doubt a drool point, but still prefer audi TT..
Never expected the manual to be coming as well, a pleasant surprise!
Manual!.. woohoo!!.. what a dream!!..
Wow! It’s a copy cat of Audi TT…not sure handling as good as TT?
nothing special really, design not that refreshing, and only 156hp n 240nm, not like number that would wow people, renaultsport megane for me anytime… unless the price….
yeahh, probably because you can buy megane anytime, right?
magane rs only mayb loses style to rcs, beat it in every single aspect,…
megane loses in comfort, interior luxury, overall style and refinement… all’s fair lah. you gain some, you will lose some others. just depend on what you want in a car as a buyer… and it probably does not beat the rcz in “every single aspect”lah, maybe one or two here n there.
it did win TG Coupe of the year, just wish it could do more on the performance… let see it prices it right..
I heard that there are only 80 units allocated for Malaysia. So if anyone is looking at getting one, book now. Just see what happened to the 308CC, sold out super fast. I believe it will repeat with the RCZ.
308cc – 4 months old car now selling off at RM115K, wonder why … maybe owner upgrading to RCZ
r u sure?
can gv me the link or seller contact?
i am very interested with this model..
now booking with nasim also no stock
Price? Anyone knows?
Anyone know how much tis baby cost ?
Is this gonna be half the price of Audi TT? RM360k/2=RM180k?
Nice car…. but Nasim really have to improve their service center and after sales service.
Saw one driving past Damansara Uptown a few weeks back with Malaysian plates on it, looks really nice in the metal I must say!
Already saw one around BSC the other day and was surprise that anyone would bring in this car.
Now that Nasim is bring it is, let’s hope the prices are not prohibitively expensive.
manual’s coming in? this is not pleasant news – it’s SPECTACULAR news!
congrats to new owners too!
now i wonder how many people will actually put the downpayment for the manual. many ppl always ask for manual right? ;) now got manual. will be interesting to see which one sells better! auto or manual.
they dont the money to buy, the best they can get is a saga manual
Can cucuk2 with Satria Neo Supercharged.
now why would any rcz owner want to do that? rcz has a lot of poise, elegance and class to be ‘cucuking’ with a supercharged neo.
looking at current car offerings in malaysia, i can safely say that rcz has no comparable competitors in terms of poise, elegance and class.
try again!
for me rather get this if same price as Cooper S….kinda boring seeing many Mini around the town…this will make your head turning.
1.6 THP RCZ in singapore is selling at SGD 169, 900 i wonder if malaysia will be about that price.
CKD….?
MANUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m so glad we are starting to recognize the market for a manual gearbox exists!!
renault megane rs250
mazda 3 mps
peugeot rcz
civic type-r
9n3 polo gti (if i recall, this was the first manual offering in recent times; or was it the type-r first?)
It’s awesome!!!!! Manual transmission is definitely a blast!!!!
will win TT
oops, forgot to add – MINI JCW or Cooper-S ada manual tak? :)
ada. The gear stick besar macam cartoon.
any indicative price yet?
Whats the best guess on pricing?
They can tune the 1.6L Prince engine to 200THP/275Nm is a great achievement even Mini Cooper S only managed 185HP. But due to high torque n to remain affordable, they have to use stick shift transmission. Just wonder when Pug will start adopt twin-clutch auto gearbox…?
Mini has the same 200+ HP tune in the JCW cars, it is not unique to Pugs.
Whats the indicated price?
I’ve seen it in the flesh. quite nice.
you are wrong, its not QUITE nice, its VERY nice ;)
way to go Nasim… u really the man. really surpassed ur late father.. congrats.
So, RM168K ?
I hope to see this in the flesh, the 308CC looks great in pictures but when I saw the real thing, it was kinda disappointing. Am looking for a car of this sort and this one if priced like the Mini will definately make me think of parting with my money … wonder how the resale for the car will be.
Still can’t decide between the Cooper S, Type R (seems there is some stock left) or maybe this baby …
this has a 2-seater disadvantage if you are a family-oriented person.
its a 2+2 (small lah, but still there are rear seats that one can sit in).
This car was launched in Brunei last week…B$62k..so, if we’re lucky, our price shd be ard the region of RM150k-RM190k…
i don’t think we are that lucky
308 cc oso rm190000 u wanna get rcz for 150k…
Why not? same drivetrain both cars. 308cc should be more expensive with the added cost for the roof mechanism, and extra enhancement on the chassis.
different manufacturing process perhaps? i guess the roof of the rcz is just as difficult to mass produce. plus this car should come with a higher level of kit and luxury.
308cc has adaptive xenons, 7 airbags i think, full leather, hot air blowing round ur neck, etc. I dont think spec wise they can go any higher
the rcz has stuff to top that… lots ot stuff, many not visible ;)
most beautiful peugeot?
the manual is a cracker. 200hp with 275Nm…should be fun to drive plus a real head turner….2 in 1 package…..
this kinda beauty will be around
RM198K – for auto and RM218K for manual
2011 – Peugeot rules.
its a collector’s item and even 10 or 15 years from now will still turn heads…..class…
this baby is gonna turn heads every where……..
Audi TT copycat
u wanna buy the actual audi tt at cheaper price? its call kia forte, lol.
For a 1.6 engine car, i hope its priced below 200K. It’s a very value buy if it falls below that price especially for young execs. But still, if i were to buy this car, I would shut that big ugly smiling face with something more sportier~!
For that price, i’d take Scirocco 1.4 tsi anyday
that’s a hatch, well maybe a pretty good hatch but not a sports car. anyway, its your choice. and for that price for a 1.4? ;)
unreg 2007 TT > 2010 RCZ
but TT is not as good looking as this….with the double bubble roof…sexy
Guys, You’ve gtt to test drive Audi TT at 190kmhr taking Penchala Link cornering that stick to the ground firmly and comfortably. My personal suggestion is invest money on best quality brand, first class brand and not just any car manufacturer. You’ll regret after 6 month, rest assured. That’s why You’ll see Audi A8 plus Mercedes Benzes in Transporter. Give it a try and see!
pretty sure this can give the tt a strong run for its money :) plus, don’t forget to factor in the price difference. you yould probably pay a lot less for the rcz when compared to the tt but you’re definitely not getting a lot less car for your money.
seems like you prefer a smashed frog eh…..
Yes I think the Scirocco is a better bet for you. Hatchback practicality.
so the same prince engine..
the same engine do jerk sometimes like the 308?
no joke here.. ask all the 308 owner.. or maybe only happen on the 308T
as 3 of my frens we all having the same 308T, all have the same problem, the engine will jerk.(normally when u accelerating around 60-70km/h) … at any point of time… and for this, the Nazim cannot solve the problem~~
Ur fren 308 turbo is using al4 gearbox? or the newer 6 speeders???
we all 4 speeder…
maybe the 6 speeder dun have the same problem..
Btw, I’m curious for those who dislike my post above… are they thinking I was telling a joke or what?? I just voice out the fact as a owner…. who dun believe me i dun mind let him drive my car and feel the problem…
i wonder how many ppl here actually own the 308 apart of being a fan of PUG…
I’m a fan of PUG, and I’m riding 308T now for almost 2 years…
Do u all think I dun upset with that?? As a PUG fan, i bought a new car, problem occur, tough warranty still cover, but they just can’t get it fixed ! the same problem goes with 2 of my frens too… so other than disliking me post, better advise me wat should i do??
and i actually happy to see now getting more and more 308 on the road, which means the price won’t be that bad i guess when i let go my ride !~
ok. dun get me wrong here. even if my 308 is ok, i will still sell it.. main reason is i’m upgrading my car, my status… nothing personal.
very nice indeed….but worry in 10 years time this car will vanish just like Opel Calibra….
Yes this car will vanish into private garages as a collectors item
I hope Dtk Samson will price this model at RM150k- 160k .
It won’t price lower than 308cc as the double bubble roof is costly to built. The 1.6 thp probably will price higher than vw sirokok 1.4tsi while lower than golf gti.
Looks like TT?which parts?it looks like Peugeot RCZ!
this car will be priced circa RM250,000 (but donno for which variant though). one of the SA asked my brother to go for this car when he booked a 3008 end of 2010. if the SA was right, the price should be that.
Nobody want to create a club for this car?
I’m no one booking in Malaysia waiting list…..Price is rm218,888 auto 238,888 manual
I’m no one booking in Malaysia waiting list.
..Price is rm218,888 auto 238,888 manual
156 hp for 218k ???
218k for 156hp auto -> destined to meet the same fate as the 308GT… At that price might as well a Golf GTI or top up to a Scirocco 2.0
too bad u actually dont know what you’re talking about as the 308GT is all sold out…some people prefer style over substance…obviously not you
i’d like to think the rcz has both. style and substance. it is not all looks only. 200bhp and 275nm with a manual box is not a small feat.
That’s Cheap!
i have auti tt, fair lady, mini cooper s, and elise in my garage. this car will be my next one…
Is it your hot wheels garage?
the price is around 210k, yes & you can buy VW Gti for that price.
2-doors CBU cars are tax higher.
the sirocco is more expensive than Gti in Malaysia but elsewhere it is cheaper than Gti.
That is one sexy car ! Dont see a big market for it but the more choice the merrier !
Hope the wife does not see this…already asking for the TT as her next car…sigh.
Need more money…must work harder…must work smarter… ;-)
if more than RM218k better get renault megane RS250 or Mazda 3 turbo..which much better..they should put below rm180k…
in what way better? those cars which may cost the same all have different formulas. all different concept. for different people, there are different priorities too. the megane buyer may only want the best track machine which is also a hatchback, the mazda buyer may want the 2 extra doors and maybe do not like coupes, the peugeot is a coupe. so hard to say which is better.
maybe you just don’t see the idea behind the car.
I`m surprised at this stage everyone is still asking about the price.Its RM 230-250,000..A bit overprice but we get all the options added,viz., 19“ rims etc. unfortunately, theres only 2 colours , white and grey only.So, take your choice.
when it comes to such cars….its an emotional purchase decision.. you like you buy and if you dont like you buy something else. simple as that….
how about when it compare to scirocco 1.4 ??
scirocco price is RM188K… all the car pro n bros out there…pls give me some point of view pls…coz i have booked scirocco 1.4 arld… there is still time to change it…some advice pls….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9sOynaQ63A !! TQ
Anyone keen to sell their used 207cc or 308cc pls contact me at 019 2805436.
just went to the Peugeot Showroom last week. Manual Transmission option for the car is out of stock, still doesn’t has any short notice for the additional model of that option. what a shame. RM218k OTR. nice sport car i can tell. very nice curvy on the body (well, my thesis is mainly on the curved design and aerodynamic of a car).
manual no stock huh… wonder how many of those screaming for a manual option actually bought one.
