The new Peugeot 308 is now open for booking in Malaysia. Distributor Nasim Sdn Bhd has just posted up an image on its Peugeot Malaysia Facebook page with the caption: “Looks like the lion’s out of the bag. The all-new Peugeot 308 THP is now open for booking at your nearest showroom!”
This doesn’t come as a big surprise, as there have frequent, recent sightings of the new 2014 European Car of the Year in Malaysia ahead of its launch in April.

Cars pictured in the spyshots sport 18-inch ‘Saphir’ alloys, LED headlamps, the mid-range front bumper with chrome highlights, plus a rear spoiler. This hints at our car being fairly well-specified; the exterior is as good as it gets without getting to the sporty GT Line, Peugeot’s version of Audi’s S line.
The Malaysian-spec Peugeot 308 will be powered by a sole engine/gearbox combo – a 1.6 litre, turbocharged THP 165 engine paired to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The THP 165 engine is the latest of its kind, producing 165 hp and 240 Nm to compare well against the VW Golf Mk7 1.4 TSI‘s 140 PS/250 Nm.
Price? Ads for the new Pug are up on oto.my, with figures above the RM130k mark.
