Two years after its global reveal, Bermaz Auto Alliance, the new sole distributors of Peugeot vehicles in Malaysia has launched the all-new Peugeot 2008. It’s locally assembled at the Stellantis manufacturing plant in Gurun, Kedah and is available in a single variant only, from RM126,753.
The Peugeot 2008 will also be exported from Malaysia to neighbouring countries like Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
The new Peugeot 2008 retains the same 1.2-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine from before but now produces 20 hp and 25 Nm more.
PERFORMANCE
- Engine: 1.2-litre 3-cylinder PureTech turbocharged engine
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
- Max Power: 131 hp
- Max Torque: 230 Nm
It’s worth noting that the new Peugeot 2008 has endured 200,000 kilometres of testing in Malaysia’s climate and landscape.
EXTERIOR
Compared to the previous generation model, the all-new model comes with a longer body and wheelbase. As a result, boot space is now larger by 74 litres, at 434 litres.
- Full LED lighting
- LED daytime running light
- Keyless entry with walk-away autolock
- 17-inch Black Onyx Diamond-cut wheels
Colour options include Amazonite Grey, Pearl White, Nera Black and the 2008’s flagship colour the Orange Fusion.
INTERIOR
The highlight of the 2008’s interior, aside from the funky choice of trims and upholstery, is the world-first Peugeot i-Cockpit 3D instrument cluster that projects vehicle information such as speed, like a hologram.
The 3D instrument cluster projects animated displays and varies according to importance or urgency, and according to Peugeot this helps improve reaction time by half a second.
- Single zone air conditioning
- Peugeot i-Cockpit
- 7-inch infotainment display with reverse camera
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Thanks to the extended wheelbase, Peugeot claims that the 2008 now offers the most rear legroom of any car built on their CMP platform.

- Six airbags
