The 3008 doesn't come with the new puretech engine range. But there were revisions done on the EP6 series engine as the years go by. Technically it would fare better than previous generations.

Just spare a little more money in pumping RON97 petrol, and idle the engine about half a minute before shutting the engine off (especially after a long/fast drive).

This is a very nice car. Shame that they deleted the panoramic roof.

I would definitely consider this car second hand in 2022. Hahahaha....

Its current Peugeot SC still that bad reputation?..

Im thinking getting the newly released 3008 as well...

The interior its freaking cool.. lol

Not sure, really need feedback from anyone who has recently bought a peugeot car haha.

Hi, i dunno how bad is your experience with the peugeot SC , but for my case..i actually ok with it..dint face any problem with SC yet i test drive the 3008 and it is good to drive..handling, comfort, performance ( Dont drive it like a sportcar then it is enough for you ) its all good , and really are satisfied with it. however, after sales is still the main concern for everyone, yes it was really bad for such case happened and still not resolved by NAZA/NASIM. But, they are actually improving bit by bit, which i dont think we as the consumer know that much.

When i was test drive, i was told that this 3008 is a big leap, as the french builder (Person who in-charge building this 3008 ) came to malaysia, and solve the problems by previous old 3008. And, they do some local testing for the new 3008 (2-3 mnths? I forgot ) something about air-cond testing, engine, and heat endurance to ensure the plastic quality is capable to withstand malaysia's weather temperature. Now, bear in mind , none of the previous peugeot model are tested like this, and the french guy is first time to solve the problem by coming to malaysia. I would say, this is an improvement if what the SC said is real. This is how they will gained their consumer's trust back.

Car is actually good, its a car of the year so no doubt on that, but people and management of NASIM are the one who should improve and change.
I do hope NASIM will do well by next year, if not..it will still the same even though the car is good. ( its the same for every car brand , everyone have to be improve and leap forward and not keep on doing same thing for so many years )

the old 308 Peugeot did encounter lot-lots of engine problem (156hp), believe its all due to Design error. U can google the 1.6 prince engine problem to get some view, some familiar case is the Timing Belt snap after a certain mileage, before recommendation mileage as highlighted by Peugeot, Turbo K.O etc2.

however they got design updates which somehow said rectified that problem on earlier gen (156hp) Prince engine, and it got 165hp.

this new 3008 still using the based 1.6 Prince Engine (165hp). I doubt it is 100% Reliable yet, time will tell.

inb4 have to use TOTAL Fully Synthetic Engine Oil for Peugeot car, else it will got engine problem, not sure why.

How much is the normal service cost for this car ? I believe no free service for this car. Come March no more cbu models instead will be ckd.

Not sure if same, but the Peugeot 508 1.6T averaging rm600 to rm1.5k for services.

Need to check the table service vs mileage

I glanced at the service cost table, each service is different but i think it starts from 450-500 like that. for some period it gets more expensive but some period it is cheaper. But min 450-500 per service.

Hi everyone,

Just got back from the showroom and was able to test drive the new 3008. I am seriously considering this SUV. I’ve never owned a Peugeot before and based on the chatters I’ve heard and read online, I have few concerns about this brand.

1. Reliability issue - most people talked about their previous negative experience using Peugeot, especially the 308 turbo model.

2. After sales service - well, being in Malaysia, I don’t expect heavenly kind of service but I heard about the incompetence issues related to this brand.

Any thoughts?

Need to gather some input before I make my decision.

Thanks.

In fact I am weighing on this as well, seems there is some improvement on after sales service but still lacks that confidence level at the moment. Since this Car has been launched only couple of months ago if time is not an issue wait and see approach would be fine. This latest model is still too new to give a verdict. But definitely parts are more expensive than Asian cars. There could be some discounts on the card for 2017 model come near cny. Fingers crossed.

highly doubt it, the peugeot official website has changed and updated a few CNY promotions on 2008, traveller etc except the new 3008 . Already book my 3008, wanting 2018 manufactured model but yet to confirm arrival date yet.

Nice one. Let us know how is it. This will be Last batch for CBU. From mar and apr ckd model will come in. According to sales told me price will remain. I doubt it will be.

3008 is a good suv. but sad thing malaysia peugeot refuse to bring in GT line which i have no idea why

That GT line is capable defeating CRV flat down

their explanation is that initially CBU is not priced at this level (155k for allure). They price it the same as CKD to attract ppl. I doubt it'll remain to, but think about it if it's priced at 155k now, how low can it be with the current features that this car has?

I got a low expectations that my car will arrive before CNY will confirm with my agent see when will my car come again next week!

Yup the GT line i saw on youtube is so good! with the panoramic sunroof and the massaging seats. guess it doesn't suit malaysians' preference and they'll have to charge higher price when Peugeot is not so popular in malaysia.

Could indure with three year free service like Mazda and now VW. Too bad they are not that aggressive in this market.

update: my dealer promised me that my 3008 will arrive around early February

2017 or 2018 manufactured?

Is good if you can wait for another 2 years and get a used 3008 (2 years old + car with remaining 3 years warranty) possible for less than RM 50k. If you look at the 2015 Peugeot 3008 now (2 years plus) some selling about 45k+. First 2 years, the car depreciate about 70% of its value.. Why not save 100k for a rather new 2 years car + more reviews 2 years later. Even if is not very reliable, max you can lose for another 15k..to sell the car again.
