After a good performance of the M1 segment of the successful 307 sedan and 307 of the notch-back, of which 3,522,800 were produced in the world, Peugeot is now just starting to legitimately offensive to the Chinese market with its new Peugeot 408

This prestigious new saloon tailored to serve the Chinese market, strengthening provide the Dong Feng Peugeot M1 segment of the product that represents more than 45% of the total market.

In this way, the new Peugeot 408 will Marque Leone to increase sales volumes by over 30% in 2010 compared to 2009 and, therefore, expected to increase twice the pace of the market.

This low profile of the three boxes architecture exhibition was designed and developed jointly by Peugeot style teams in Europe and China, and has three objectives: to embody the brand of modernity, safety and the guarantee to offer maximum interior space none .

408 The name follows the logic of the traditional lion brand name. Figure 4 refers to the size of the car (4.68 m) and its position in the living of the average family of luxury. 0 means the middle of the Peugeot brand, while 8 expresses the generation of vehicles.

2011 Peugeot 308 GTi Review

Peugeot returns to the world of the GTI, with the launch of the Peugeot 308 GTi, a sporty sedan of a new era: good day to carry out day and environment. Available exclusively as a 5 door only, which combines a modern synthesis of the versatility and maneuverability.

Sporty driving in tune with the times

Peugeot 308 GTi has a sporty character, which is consistent with the current times:

affluent sport for the pleasure of driving on a daily basis and high levels of onboard comfort at all speeds, but will not be a specialized vehicle, but still able to offer real excitement when the "pilot" ask for more .

environment that combines good performance with fuel consumption of just 6.9 l/100 km to 159 g / km of CO2.

The 1.6 liter THP 147 kW (200 hp) - Maximize efficiency

In the heart of the car's sporty nature of the all-new 1.6-liter THP 147 kW (200 hp), which was launched at the same time the Peugeot RCZ Coupe, a key factor in the overall efficiency of the Peugeot 308 GTi. The combination of different technologies - THP (Twin-Scroll turbocharger and petrol direct injection), and the VTi (valves and valve timing) - This engine, mated to a 6-speed manual offers a lot of driveability.

Its maximum power of 147 kW is available 5500-6800 rpm, combined with a constant torque of 275 Nm between 1700 and 4500 rpm, the Peugeot 308 GTi also offers a particularly low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Peugeot 308 Turbo retested (6-speed)

Time flies. I could still recall that I was somehow smitten by an early version of this Pug 308 turbo some two years ago. Though it had only 4-speed auto, the road holding and handling were sweet, albeit ride was a little firm. The value-for-money buy (at RM112k) had even gone on to handsomely win the 2009 Car of the Year title from New Straits Times (NST) .




All manufacturers improvise on their cars as years go by. The 'new' 308 turbo is no exception. The sampler that you see in white here has gained a Japanese slush 'box good for six forward ratios. All for the better, lower emissions and more importantly, better fuel economy. Admittedly, it is very smooth on the go now and the car tested licked 190 km/h with ease and the twin-scrolled blower found in this 1.6 engine is quite the lag-free deal, in the vein of BMW turbocharging these days . After all, it is a J-V offspring from BMW-Peugeot union.




However, in its quest for a more fancy panoramic roof (read: heavy), this Pug seems to have a more jello-wobbly suspension setting now, perhaps to offset the added higher mass, suspended above. This warm hatch now rolls, pitch and get busily wobbly with almost every bit of your steering input. Grip levels from those pricey Conti rubbers are still admirably good. Even the rack itself is overtly sensitive, even with input just that wee-bit off-centre.




In short, somehow, the whole package just don't gel. Not anymore. Not when even the driver gets carsick easily. And what's with the noisy A/C blower at full blast and neither hot-nor-cold mostly, climate control? Maybe I am being a bit harsh here with the steeply rake huge front windscreen and glass panoramic roof being untinted yet, in a new car. But it gets uncomfortably hot easily in this 308 with the A/C being stuffy or overwhelmingly noisy most of the time.

Hey, where's the nice good 'ol white face meters? The new "mono-chromed" amber on black is just cheaper-looking and a bore to look at. A lame attempt to mimic BMW items if that was the true intention.

After a few days with it, I have to admit that the latest 308 turbo isn't as desirable as before, not in this latest guise anyway. But it cannot be denied that the sticker price of RM118k is indeed still very tempting against the similarly-classed (RM156k) VW Golf 1.4 TSI. Such is the reality. A cheaper and slightly smaller VW Polo perhaps...anyone?

Peugeot RCZ crosses the RM200k mark in Malaysia!

Nasim Sdn Bhd, the official importer and distributor for Peugeot vehicles in Malaysia has launched the absolutely modern, bubbly, compact-and-curvaceous RCZ 2+2 coupe recently. Two variants sporting different state of tune and transmission are available.

Powered by the all-familiar 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged powerplant found in the Peugeot 308, 3008 and 5008 the 6-speed auto RCZ gets the standard combo of maximum power output of 156 bhp + 240Nm of torque. The Pearlescent White car that you see above a gets a stick shifter good for 6-forward ratios transmitting 200 bhp and 275 Nm to the front wheels. All from the same 4-pot 1.6L - albeit charged to a higher boost via a visibly larger intercooler up front - sitting just behind the bumper and a couple of seriously more robust-looking turbo hoses in the engine bay!

The manual RCZ also has larger disc brakes all around, larger alloy wheels (18") and stiffer springs to cope with the added grunt. Incidentally, the manual RCZ has a sportier (read: bassier) exhaust note to complement its higher performance positioning in the RCZ hierarchy.

Adding to visual enhancements as well as sporty performance are the double-bubble roof (which desperately needs dark tinting in our super-sunny and hot climate) and the active rear spoiler that deploys to two-stage at different higher speeds.

The in-car entertainment aspect is taken care of by a JBL hi-fi incorporating an amplifier punching 240 watts through 6-speakers. Also on offer are Bluetooth connectivity and auxiliary audio input capability.

For added safety, there is an active pyrotechnic bonnet system (at the front wing, just above and a little behind the wheel arch which "explodes" and propels forward during a forceful collision, acting somewhat like an external "airbag" to cushion and prevent intrusion of the front bulkhead into the driver's/passenger cabin.

The RCZ coupe is fully imported (CBU) from Magna Steyr's plant in Graz, Austria and retails for RM218,888 for the 6-speed auto version, while the 6-speed manual is priced at RM223,888.
NEWBIE CARS was told at the launch that some at 35 units were already called for, out of which the majority were manual versions, in a surprising reversal of trend for the Malaysian car-crazy-but-automatic-loving motorists.

Nasim hopes to deliver some 100 to 150 units of RCZ for the remaining months of 2011.
