Peugeot 208 on display, specs unveiled via brochures


The Peugeot 208 is currently making it’s pre-launch promo rounds around Malaysia, with the latest location being the One Utama shopping centre in Bandar Utama. The 208 will be there until this April Sunday the 14th, but if you want to avoid the jam or don’t live in the Klang Valley we have some details on the car for you as we managed to get a hold of the official brochure as well as snapped some photos of both the 5-door on 3-door which are also on display at Peugeot Glenmarie.


The Peugeot 208 brochure reveals that both the five-door and three-door versions are powered by the same 122 horsepower 1.6 litre VTi engine which makes 160 Nm of torque. There’s no mention of how many gear ratios in the official spec sheet, but we’ve been informed it’s a four-speed Tiptronic unit with Sport mode.

There are disc brakes on all four wheels, and the 5-door has 16 inch Helium design wheels with 195/55R16 tyres while the 3-door has larger 17 inch Oxygen design wheels with wider 205/45R17 tyres. In terms of safety features, the 208 has it loaded to the brim with ESP stability control as well as 6 airbags for all variants.

Other features of it are standered for both models which include the digital dual zone airconditioning, Arkamys 3D audi with 6 speakers, USB and Bluetooth support, as well as 6-way driver and passenger seat adjustment. The 3-door model also adds a panoramic sunroof, which is rare for a B-segment model in Malaysia.

In conclusion, the price remains silence but rumours has it under RM100k for both models of the car.
