After being spotted on a trailer in March, the new Peugeot 3008 has now been sighted on the road in Malaysia, photos of which come courtesy of reader Zulhizain Yunus. The sharply-styled SUV has already been teased here, and is set to arrive soon – it was previously reported that the French crossover would be introduced in the second quarter of 2017.
As with the French-registered units spied before, however, do not take the car here as being representative of the local model – the left-hand drive sticker on the test unit alone is indicative of such. It should be noted, however, that our 3008s will likely come in the mid-range Allure trim seen here, which slots under the GT Line and GT models that are available in other markets.
Inside, the 2017 European Car of The Year will feature a more premium look and feel, and incorporate the i-Cockpit dashboard architecture also seen on the 208 and 308. The kit list includes a high-resolution, configurable 12.3-inch display screen that makes up the instrument cluster, a centrally-mounted eight-inch touchscreen and piano-key toggle switches.
Built on the Efficient Modular Platform (EMP2) that also underpins the 308, the 3008 will likely be powered by a 165 hp 1.6 litre Turbo High Pressure (THP) engine as before, but with the addition of auto engine stop/start. A six-speed automatic gearbox is expected to send power to the front wheels. Pricing has yet to be revealed, but expect the new car to command a premium over the RM159k asked for the outgoing model.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
(Like) Peugeot 3008.
(Dislike) Honda CRV 1.5T
How dare you! CRV is best selling SUV in Malaysia bar none.
Good car but in Malaysia, it is tarnished by poor after sales. Also parts are super expensive.
Peugeot buyers beware. Make sure you are rich. Make sure you can afford BMW and Merc first before you buy a Peugeot.
Also, make sure your heart can handle the RV after 3 years. If this car is RM200k, 3 yrs later, it will be RM50k.
Make sure you go for your Echo Cardiogram or Stress ECG to see if your heart can handle such shocks.

OK what can buy secondhand cheap..
Buy it if you really like the car, not for the RV. If you care about RV, buy Vios or City, or take MRT.
So many experienced Peugeot repair shops out there these days, unlike 5 years ago. Spare parts are expensive but not more than BMW or Mercedes.
yes yess heard there is one in Kota Damansara.
We had a renault, same issue with after sales. We want to get a peugeot now.. same issue with after sales jugak ke? What is wrong with these people? I think my wira more reliable la like this.
Stick to your Wira and be boring
Expensive, that is because you don’t know where to source for Peugeot cheap parts.
You are Rubbish! The resale value not too bad
No sign of RHD? Thought they gonna launching very soon..
If naza and Peugeot is clever enough, make LHD and export to Vietnam and Philippines
The 165 thp engine is not a good choice.. To many reliability issue. The new puretec engine should be the one…
never realised Peugeot have engine reliability issue, my 508 no issues at all , already 3 1/2 years at 82K
Just coz your 508 have no issues doesnt mean others wont. My 308 every few month something leak, engine oil leak, coolant leak, mounting break, now having so much electrical issues as well, aircond issues, suspension issues not to mention countless rattling. Feels like a 20 year old car when the car is actually only 6 years old. If the problem can be solved by replacing the part one time ok la, but this one, replace ori part also less than 2 years break again..
The 1.2 pure tech 3 pot is a wonderful engine. Hope Naza bring in that option as well.
