Peugeot 308 2.0 HDi in M’sia – 370 Nm, 1,300 km range

Posted in Cars, Local News, Peugeot / By /

Peugeot 308 e-HDi Malaysia 9

Nothing eye catching about this grey Peugeot 308 sitting lonely at the 2015 ASEAN Auto Show, but its decals stood out. With 370 Nm of torque, a range of 1,300 km, low CO2 emissions of 107 g/km and fuel consumption of 4.1 litres per 100 km (24.4 km/l), it can only be a diesel.

The T9 Peugeot 308 was launched here in April this year with a sole THP 150 variant, so could the petrol be joined by a turbodiesel soon? Unfortunately, Nasim has no plans to bring the 2.0 HDi, as seen here, into Malaysia.

It’s yet another mule for testing purposes, but there shouldn’t be major technical hurdles should Nasim decide that there’s sufficient demand for such a variant – the 508 is already available here with a diesel engine (2.2 HDi with 206 PS and 450 Nm), and so is the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, the latter with the same 150 hp/370 Nm 2.0 BlueHDi oil burner as the 308.

We’ve actually driven the 308 in this configuration before. This writer noted then that the BlueHDi had “enough low-end thrust enough to wake up the drowsy, if not the dead” and the oversized motor (1.6 diesels are the norm in this class) possesses flexibility that makes the 308 a relaxing car to drive fast, rattly nature and slight lag from take off aside. The Aisin-sourced six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox is also a smooth operator. More from the review here.

Spec wise, this 308 is a fully-loaded one with Enhanced Park Assist (detects and steers into space, P button right of the steering wheel), seat heaters and full leather seats (our THP 150 gets a leather-Alcantara combo) that aren’t in our car. So, do you think there’s a viable market here for rapid but economical 308 2.0 HDi?

        yea, i saw even more on used car dealers. So many ppl bought it and sold it within 3 years. Peugeot is just an European’s Proton, equally junk.

    If you guys think this is made by the same Peugeot from 2004 I highly suggest you test drive the new 308. The first thing you notice is the mount of sound dampening they’ve done. Nothing rattles or feels like its gonna come after 10 minutes.

    If the diesel example comes here, and priced below 140k, I’d buy it

    Since France banned the use of diesel cars in towns, PSA will need to sell their Diesels somewhere… where better if not Malaysia…

    Since the prince engine (petrol) give a lot of headache (even now), turning to diesel engine is a logical choice.

    But this HDi engine need euro 5 diesel to work properly. The lousy euro 2M diesel will surely kill this engine ASAP. And Peugeot will not de-tune or reconfigure the engine to accept euro 2 or any sub-par diesel.

    Unfortunately, Euro 5 diesel is only available in Klang Valley and JB.

    Nationwide roll-out was postponed (by MITI) to 2020. And without euro 5 diesel, Peugeot / Nasim seems not going to sell it here. So.. that’s it I guess.

    But.. Having said all that, I’m not particularly sure how Citroen/Naza Euro Motor and Peugeot/Nasim managed to decide in selling C4 Grand Picasso and 508GT, which are equipped with HDi engine. Dont’ they know the risks? Or they know something we dunno?

    Coz if they can sell C4GP and 508GT with HDi engine, why can’t they do the same with 308 or other diesel models for that matter?

    Perhaps its not about the fuel but rather there is no business case/justification based on forecast / projected sales i.e. its not viable.

      Both C4 and 508GT do not have the DPF anymore. Similar to what BMW did with the 320d.

      I live in Klang Valley, so I’m seriously hoping they’d bring it to Malaysia.
