Nasim aims to sell 400 units of SUV 3008

SHAH ALAM: Nasim Sdn Bhd, the sole importer and distributor of Peugeot vehicles, targets to sell 400 units of the new Peugeot 3008, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), this year, said Senior General Manager, Yasser Awan.

Yasser said so far, 200 bookings for the 3008 had been received.

“This will contribute 22 per cent to the company’s overall sales target of 1,800 units for 2017,” he said before unveiling the award-winning and redefined SUV to the media yesterday.

Yasser and the French PSA Groupe General Director ASEAN Operations, Lionel Fangeres, then flagged off 12 units of the SUVs driven by local media representatives for a two-day road-test to Taiping, Perak.

The fully imported SUV is available in two versions -- Active THP (Turbo High Pressure) and the range-topping Allure THP.

Both variants are powered by the same 1.6-litre THP petrol engine, which serves up to 165 horsepower and 240 newton-metre (Nm) of torque.

The 3008 Active THP retails for RM142,888 and the Allure THP is selling for RM155,888, on-the road without insurance

The prices include a five-year or 120,000 km warranty as well as a 24hour Peugeot Assistance service.

Five exterior body colours are metallic copper, magnetic blue, amazonite grey, ultimate red and pearl white, with the last two requiring an additional RM1,590.
