Hey guys here are a bit of the details of the new Pug that is going to start selling in UK in April. Can't wait to get my hands on it when it arrives here in Malaysia.



"Peugeot has revealed the new 308. The 2012 Peugeot 308 gets a minor face-lift and some engine changes, improving fuel efficiency. A full debut will take place at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

The Peugeot 308 now has a Stop & Start system on its 112 hp 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine. They have also introduced a proper manual gearbox for this model. Weight has been reduced by 25 kg on average on all the 308 models. The entry-level 1.6-litre engine produces about 98 hp, whereas the top-spec Gti produces 200 hp. Power in the diesel engine ranges from 92 hp to 163 hp."

On the outside, there are now LED front lights with light guide as well as Xenon headlamps with titanium coloured mask.

If anyone gets word on when this is going to be released here in Malaysia, give us all a heads up thanks.

look so female lol

i just hope there's a facelifted new 408 (308 with a boot) with better rear design and Naza brings it here.

dont evaluate vehicles as male or female la ppl.....be cilvilised abit.....

Its not smiling anymore.

2012 308 CC

still prefer the current version on the 308 cc, the new one dont have the smiling face anymore

smiling face with lipstick.. silver color one...

opps.. later ppl say i uncivilized

looks very luxurious with the chrone linings on the car .. i like !! looks like SLK200 if the car is abit lower

good looking.

i love the current look.. i agree,the facelifted one has no 'smiling' anymore :\

Isn't there already a 308 thread in here?

yup, there is another somewhere in here. but never mindlah, open another one also oklah.

but i do like the new look, the current one is 'happy'. the new one is 'angry'.

Well some may say female, go to youtube and see the car with the lights on. Perfect. Will be booking as soon as it launches. And I happen to be a guy. No gay with the 156 thp version it is surely gonna kick some ass.

u asked Peugeot Malaysia edi when is the new FL 308 gonna launch?

Should be releasing Jan 2012

main belakang 308cc tak cun... then again, it's a "trademark".

when the F**K will this be coming out ??im tired of waiting !!

What about the current 508 Turbo? Any reviews?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...0312&hl=Peugeot

When they say "Stop & Start system" will the a/c still be on when it "Stop"? Imagine sitting in traffic jams in Malaysia with the a/c off.

Usually in a stop start system car, the ac will have a separate power source and ECU unit. Not sure bout the 308 though.

stop start means whenever u brake when stopping at red lights or traffic,just release ur foot and it will stop.and go by stepping on the acceleration again

when is this coming? any news?

i believe will be end of 2012.even the shitty 408(codename T73) will be launch on april 2012 and its been announced since earlier this year what more this model.
and rumors that they will replace all 308 hatchback to 308 sedan as what they did in china.thats why they still haven't decided either to be named T73 as 408 or 308 sedan.
Nasim if full of shit,i can't wait any longger.im getting the citroen c4 cbu early 2012

maybe just get the cit if you can't wait. end your long misery. oh by the way, the 408 certainly is not shitty if you had a chance to see the malaysian spec. in fact you'd be pretty amazed. but then, just go get the cit lah.

http://news.motorstop.asia/malaysia/nasim-...uarter-of-2011/


seriously, this ?i would definitely get bored of the looks after a few months.if i would to get a conti car,rather settle for something attractive and not boring so no feel like selling the car knowing it has bad resale value.

btw, why must wait for facelift 308? if in hurry, just buy la, the car only change the face , and add a paddle shift, the rest are the same.

nop bro,the technology is different.it has start stop,drl,++
i'll wait before april 2012 otherwise i'll get a citroen c4.it cbu,and seriously beat peugeot current and new facelift flat.hel,its even got stop start technology and freakin comfortable suspensions

^

Problem with citroen is limited of service centres.

power. seriously i dunno where can buy citroen. got showroom?

btw, citreon peugeot same family la

yes ,thats why the citroen c4 engine is the same as peugeot 308 turbo.but the citroeen is known for technology and comfort.it has the best among most conti cars.
the showroom is at brooklands sg besi.go check it out and test drive it urself.for 125k CBU and full loaded with tech and crazy sounds system,its a deal.

I don't understand. The link you provided is about 408. And you can only get the car in China. Although 408 is based on 308 platform, it doesn't share the Prince engine used in 308.

408 is also available in many latin american countries. check out the logo of those cars there. it is different from the logo of the china version. at the moment, it doesn't share engines with the 308... but next year, who knows?

http://www.sembang-auto.com/2011/07/peugeo...ted-near-tapah/



is it a bird?is it a plane?no,its 2012 peugeot 308 sedan !and yes,its sharing the same chasis as 308,and the SAME 1.6thp turbo engine as the 308.hell no im getting this.i expected the new 308 to be a hatchback.huge disappointment

its ugly the 408....get the c4...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2102102
This is the new successor of 308, which is a hatch. 408 is not the new 308.

I'm wondering how did you manage to translate "Peugeot 1.6THP will likely powers this car same as 308 Turbo, which it shares the same platform." to "the SAME 1.6thp turbo engine". Is it because it shares the same platform? China's 408 does not even use the same engine, let alone the turbocharged one.

**Although, there's a variant of 408 that use THP engine in South America. So, unless it's official, I wont go as far as confirming the 408 will use THP engine.

Looks like ford fiesta to me

hey dude,

good news! .........errrrrrrrrrrr...............actually this car 408 is always in peugeot.com

you need to understand more about peugeot before you start to love it.

http://www.peugeot.com/en/products/cars/408.aspx

its a 308 + boot.

and, its for china market ( not only) ,at least designed to cater it.

lol yup.i wont spend my money on that crap.i'd rather get a c4

Added on November 13, 2011, 4:26 amits a ckd version bro ..i dont think naza will give it a new set of engine variations.even the 508 is using 1.6 thp 308 engine whatmore this?

---

Added on November 13, 2011, 4:31 amit is what it is..i guess some people will think its nice as everyone has different opinion but i believe the majority would say it suck.unless its priced to compete against the chevy cruz,optima,honda city,etc

This post has been edited by Darkcity212: Nov 13 2011, 04:31 AM

well, have you pay a visit to SA recently? any news on 308 facelift?

i think this 408 only matters for those who really needs a sedan car. if you ask me, i would say, HB is the in thing now, lol. golf, polo, mini cooper or even myvi viva shows we really started to like hb now.

408 the look is ok, but doesnt have the family look of pug. well, some say 308 looks ugly.

constantly.and after doing some research i think that no point waiting because normally new model nasim will announce 1 year earlier.until now no news so assuming they will announce early 2012,only end of 2012 or 2013 we will see the new 308

this looks interesting, when is it launching? any news?

no way end of 2012.

and from the history, they launched 6 speed at the end of the year 2010( 1 year after 308thp on sales)

and the fact that, since april 2011, peugeot only makes facelift 308, there might be a chance to have it earlier than end of 2012.

but 2012 is the end , lol.

hahaha. btw,6 speed is a version of engine only.not new facelift.and as u said,1 year after 308 on sales.
its already november and no news about the new facelift yet.but i suppose end of december or early 2012 will have news.
so expect the launch to be end 2012 or 2013 if we're still alive lol

I strongly believe Nasim will launch it after they completely cleared all old stock from Peugeot.
For the new facelift, our neighbour country launch much earlier than us as their dealer is much
More professional and ethics in many way if compare to Nasim.
Frankly speaking, it don't believe the current old model is still in production after they launched the facelift model back in April 2011 in France.
Therefore, Nasim is definitely helping them to clearing all the old stock and sold to Malaysians with a little unlucky.....
What u all think?

not unethical, simple.


but the fact that they built a factory in gurun, means they need to take a certain quota of cars every year, so, might be 1000/2000, so they definitely under pressure to sell all, compare to ....50 cars? or 100 cars? from dealer sg?

they are definitely clearing the old 308 hatchback to replace them with the 308 sedan come april 2012 as i posted earlier.it is already confirmed by reports and nasim is focusing on the 308 sedan.it might replace the 308 hatchback temporarily

408 with 1.6turbo, yummy.

its in argentina peugeot website, 408 with 1.6thp

i like the 308 CC. TBH, i don't really like the smiling face of the current peugeot line-up. 2012 308 CC looks more serious,

hope Naza brings it in~

I dont think it's going to happen. Read somewhere the parts will be manufactured in China and assembled in Malaysia, if it's CKD. China's 408 didn't come with THP engine.

you would be surprised at what can be done. malaysia is probably not subject to 100% of what is offered elsewhere. there are limitations of course.

argentina 408 made in argentina

why not malaysia 408 made in malaysia?

Of course I would be very glad to be proven wrong. Naza/Nasim had, from time to time, surprised us by bringing new cars into our market. As much as I wish our 408 will come with THP engine, I'll hold my horses for now.

Added on November 15, 2011, 9:52 amI don't know actually. But looking in the past, 308 is not fully CKD, if you understand what I mean.

And they still can't even do the LHD to RHD conversion right!

This post has been edited by Pogostik: Nov 15 2011, 09:52 AM

any news on the 308 facelift model? thinking of getting one for my wife.

408 turbo proof : http://paultan.org/2012/02/20/peugeot-408-...thout-disguise/

As for the LHD to RHD conversion, even UK (biggest Peugeot RHD market) doesn't get that sort of privilege. Guess the French don't even change the handbrake position, the location of the fusebox etc. So, conversion wise... it is up to the French to provide the parts. Not happening I think due to the cost to do the conversion. CKD basically involves assembling parts that come from the manufacturer and adding some local content to it. Nothing to do with conversion of the parts from LHD to RHD.

Seems like Nasim have launch the facelift models. You can check out at bangsar showroom. 121,888 for Turbo, 102,888 for vti model.

Thx will do n check it out!

price increased, any additional feature?
I heard they use fuel saving engine, any info?

There is no such thing as a fuel saving engine for the 1.6Turbo...very thirsty...but then, you guy the car not for FC, you buy it for Performance.

Saw this model on truck yesterday at glenmarie..

here's a brief write up on the car.

http://www.kensomuse.com/the-peugeot-308fl...otox-treatment/

should be in the showrooms by today. news of the vti price confirmed at rm102,888? if it is really true, then it would represent good value as it now comes with the panoramic roof. not super powerful but then that's not what the vti is all about. it is almost turbo spec already and for quite a bit cheaper. just mod a bit on the exterior and it will look just like its turbo sibling.

What is the FC for this 1.6THP?

should be the same as before considering that there are no changes to the 6-speed version of the engine.

For me the Pug FC seems like quite stable...lets say 8~9km/l (12l/100km)

Because, slow driving in jams and fast driving also yeild same results averagely.

So, everytime i see clear road, put the pedal to the metal

Bu take note, power is damn addictive, its like your foot is controlled by the dark side of you...fcuk FC...Let It Rip!! Vrooom..

I am more concern to the depollution error
And there is no mentioned that if the 1.6THP is now having the same HP as the 408

nope. it does not use the more powerful 408t's engine. same 6-speed 156hp turbo.

Its probably the same engine as the current 308T, but Pug hardcores always know which is the better engine...hehe...only thing needed is to lift up the engine cover...looks very similar..but...hehe..nevermind....buy the car first . Dun worry so much.

Just enjoy the car

woot.. haha.. don't worry so much?
this is the thing that troubles me too much
thinking to get the golf tsi or pug 308
golf is too expensive

golf? also got issues. hope u can live with those. do check it out first also.

Got Peug salesman here? PM me ya. =)

PM me too... really interested to go and see it... hehe

Me too

buy buy . later easier for us to have more sc. now i have to do 100km++ to service lols. cannot imagine when claiming for warranties..

got diesel version ah for this car? x)

in malaysia dont think so.

after looking at the facelifted version for some time, it sloooooowwwly tends to grow on the viewer. at first i wasn't too comfortable with the stubby nose. starting to look decent now

titanium-colored mask should not be omitted. It improves the visual looks considerably

Engine in the 408 is also said to have less issues compared to the 308 in the long run.

Isn't it a bit early to claim this!

That's what they say, not me

Hehehe......ok!

go for this Peugeot. Much better than the hard plastic dashboard hondas.

Agree

But so many complaints on the THP engine at Autoworld! How? So many 2nd hand already,some only 1+ year!

Gf just placed deposit for FL VTi, getting the car by end of month

Rich_Lim - which branch? =) Very fast to get by end of July...

buy vti then. now got pano roof already. if you don't need the power, the vti comes close to what the turbo offers.

TTDi, in 2 weeks time

Frankly, I don't enjoy the panaroof. Not ang moh country meh! Our weather so crappy!!!

Panaroof is definitely not a good add on for our country weather, summer all seasons but at night it will be a fantastic feature especially when driving near beach area

Can 308THP smoke civic 2.0 ?

Join us at Facebook: Peugeot 308 Club of Malaysia

See you there

You obviously have no idea of the THP's potential to ask this question. The Civic won't be able to smell the smoke of the THP!

gonna place order for this car....
until i heard bout the forever exist oil leak issue

normal to turbo car? or peugeot solved it already?

Agree bro! XD


Is it? Gonna ask those sifu here. For mine is quite ok, no any issue yet since my car have drove for more than half year.

Picture taken frm members

Nuff said...

But seriously, 308T only edges out the Civic in a century sprint....and seems like the Civic will have the upper hand above 170kmh....308T seems to take forever to reach above 200...even though 308T might give a higher top speed but when rolling from 170..a bigger CC engine is always a welcome. This holds true when you are braking at highspeed for bus and slow cars....i believe the Civic will accelerate better at those speeds while the 308T will slowly gain on it...but overtaking the Civic will be hard unless the road is clear for the whole stretch

This post has been edited by azbro: Jul 10 2012, 10:01 PM

Just slow down and wait for uphill, i am sure u can smoke civic easily, that's what I always do with my focus, use the torque as your advantage

i love this car..but not the problem that the engine will give

every car also got their problem. if so care about the problem then better take bus/taxi. no offence bro, but just give some comment.
sometimes buying car is depend on luck also. so far, my car didn't give me any problem yet (touchwood)

i have seen that peugeot change alot. why don't give a try?
