2022 Peugeot 2008 launched in Malaysia – CKD; 1.2L turbo with 130 hp and 230 Nm; AEB; from RM127k

The second-generation Peugeot 2008 has been launched in Malaysia, with official distributor Bermaz Auto Alliance (BAASB) offering the B-segment SUV in a sole Allure variant. The 2008 is the third SUV to be introduced by the company following the launch of the facelifted 3008 and 5008 last November.

In terms of pricing, the 2008 in Allure guise retails at RM126,753 on-the-road without insurance, which includes a five-year, 100,000-km manufacturer warranty as well as a three-year, 60,000-km free service maintenance package. Four colours are offered: Amazonite Grey, Pearl White, Nera Black and Orange Fusion.

As the SUV is locally assembled (CKD) at the Stellantis manufacturing plant in Gurun, Kedah, it benefits from full sales tax exemption – this is set to end come June 30, 2022. BAASB also points out that the 2008 had successfully endured 200,000 km of testing in Malaysia, which is likely why there have been various camouflaged examples on our roads in the past few months.

For the asking price, you’ll get a PureTech 1.2 litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that develops 130 hp and 230 Nm of torque. The figures are 20 hp and 25 Nm more than the previous 2008, which also had the three-potter engine, but was a lower-tuned version making 110 hp and 205 Nm.

What’s unchanged is the transmission, which is a six-speed automatic sourced from Aisin that drives the front wheels. This setup can run on RON 95 or higher and is capable of hitting a top speed of 199 km/h; the rated fuel consumption is 4.5 l/100 km following the NEDC standard.

Standard kit on the 2008 Allure includes 17-inch “Salamanca” alloy wheels, 215/60 profile tyres, automatic LED headlamps with matching DRLs, LED taillights, bulb-type rear fog lamps, rain-sensing wipers, roof rails, 12 parking sensors (split equally front and rear), chrome and black door handles, piano black pillar garnish and a chrome radiator grille.

Other features are keyless entry and engine start, an electronic parking, passive cruise control, three drive modes (Normal, Eco and Sport), single-zone climate control, mood lighting, manually-adjustable front seats, black leatherette upholstery, a reverse camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system and walk away lock.

The well-known Peugeot i-Cockpit is also present in 2008’s cabin and consists of a small-diameter, two-spoke steering wheel, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster with 3D-effect graphics as well as a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The last item supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and is hooked up to six speakers.

On the safety front, the 2008 comes with six airbags as standard, along with Dynamic Stability Control, Anti-Skid Regulation (traction control), ABS, EBD, brake assist, hill start assist, a seatbelt reminder system for all seats and Isofix child seat anchors.

There are also a few active safety and driver assist systems packaged into the 2008, including high beam assist, a blind spot monitor, active lane keeping assist, driver attention warning and camera-based autonomous emergency braking (branded as Active Safety Brake). It should be noted that some of these features, such as AEB, aren’t even fitted to the 2008’s larger siblings.

The 2008 enters a competitive space and will take on other B-segment SUVs like the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Hyundai Kona and Proton X50. Given the price tag and its specifications, would you be interested in the French model?

      Really attractive to those less clever, pjok ckd car *but selling expensive as cbu price (eg. Mazda cbu @126k). Ckd should selling cheaper. PM & DSN pls help, car is basic needs, should NOT Tax 100% to burden rakyat with 9yrs loan, *excice duty during M time should be eliminated (just like SST should be iminated), should only have (1) sales tax and (2)ckd/cbu tax.

          Sales tax should NOT be exempted, this is how tax work every things sold must tax. But not reason Excise Duty (65%-105%) should tax to rakyat, Excise Duty should be eliminated. Sohai betoi…

    Smart Peugeot Malaysia very smart sold it cheaper here in Malaysia at RM127k vs. Thailand RM149k but Thailand version had the ” introduction of Peugeot’s driver assistance features in the ASEAN region (the Malaysian-market 2015 308 notwithstanding) as it will come with autonomous emergency braking. Other safety features include lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring, six airbags and stability control.

      The MAZDA dudes have done a commendable job,after booting out the Naza high flying AP dudes.
      However,at 127K,there are plenty of alternatives.
      Mazda will have to offer top notch after sales technical services,competitive pricing,revamping of branding campaigns,so that the would be fanboy would dare to plunge into a purchase decision.
      Nobody wants to be left in the lurch like when the Naza dudes left abruptly.

        When u used the words “at least” and “worth it” in 1 statement, it means, it doesn’t worth it at ALL!. ACC itself is not enough without Stop & Go. At RM126k, we could get X50 (much cheaper) with all that. Slightly expensive, with more reliability we could get Altis G-spec, and Corolla Cross hybrid. I dont know, maybe u live in place like Kuala Perlis. For big town people, ACC with Stop & Go is very appreciated.

      Bermaz auto didn’t do anything!! Their service is freaking terrible! I challenge anyone here who doubts what I am saying to go to Peugeot Glenmarie and try to order parts from them. They have no interest in helping customers! Ordering parts from France also so difficult and so much drama that I ended up ordering the parts myself!

    Have to say quite disappointed with the lack of rear a/c vents and the manually adjustable driver seats.

    This should have been priced RM10K lower at RM117K to even stand a chance. At this price, the X50 and Corolla Cross sales will remain unaffected.

    I really hope anyone who is considering to get the 2008 will reconsider!! It might look good, but the service provided by Bermaz is no better than Naza!

    I drive a Peugeot, purchased it when Naza was the distributor. My car is out of warranty and I have been servicing outside. Recently I have been having issues and I have been trying to source for parts. Most of the parts I need are quite specialized and are not available at 3rd party spare parts shops. I tried approaching Bermaz at their Glenmarie workshop. I wanted to order the parts from them but they refused to take my order and were giving excuses that the parts are not available locally and have to order from France. I told them that I don’t mind waiting and that I was willing to pay a deposit. But even than they still refused to take my order. I tried to get the part number from them so that I could order it overseas but they refused to give me the part number. I took me a long time to get the part numbers myself and I ended up ordering it from Peugeot UK!!! Even the peugeot UK guys were asking me why I couldn’t order the parts from Peugeot Malaysia. I have tried emailing Bermaz and the reply I got from them was that they will not sell parts to you if you don’t get it repaired with them which means that they are only interested in selling cars, once your car is out of warranty and your service it outside, they will not sell any spare parts to you. No other car manufacturer in Malaysia does this!

    Peugeot owner here. Like it or not, Peugeot is now still recovering brand. I am very happy to see that teams from Peugeot Malaysia have did great job. Been driving for nearly 3 months but so far, no issues. And good job for bringing those safety features like automonous emergency braking, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, blind spot monitoring, six airbags and stability control. Hope to bring more peugeot soon.
