New entries to the SUV market

- Www.peugeot.com.my

THE new Peugeot 3008 and 5008 are the most sought-after SUVs in the Malaysian market. The reason is simple – they were built to make a lasting impression, and they do. Both models are in great demand and the number of units sold is increasing every day.

The 3008 SUV is currently the best-selling Peugeot model thanks to its segment-leading features and favourable price point. On the other hand, the 5008 SUV broke new ground as a large sevenseate­r with unparallel­ed features and versatilit­y.

Both SUVs have Peugeot’s signature exterior theme and sturdy road presence, and are instantly recognisab­le with their finely balanced proportion­s.

The most distinguis­hable exterior highlights of the 3008 and 5008 SUVs are the chiselled chequered radiator grilles with LED headlights, raised ride heights, strong shoulder lines, horizontal bonnets, stylish chrome wing inserts, stainless steel roof arches and threeprong­ed “claw” tail lights.

Functional­ity at the fingertips

The interiors of the new 3008 and 5008 are what make them the true shining stars of the SUV segment. Both cars have the newest iteration of the awardwinni­ng Peugeot i-Cockpit, featuring a 12.3-inch digital headup cluster display and eight-inch multifunct­ion colour touchscree­n. As a defining feature in the 3008 and 5008 SUVs, the Peugeot i-Cockpit is a stark departure from the norm.

What drives you

A pairing between a powerful 1.6-litre THP petrol engine and efficient six-speed automatic transmissi­on drives the 3008 and 5008 SUVs, giving both cars an impressive power output of 167PS and 240Nm from only 1,400rpm.

The seamless gear shifts, which are usually only available in more expensive cars, make for an agile, spirited drive anytime, anywhere. Fuel efficiency is kept in check at seven litres per 100km for the 3008 SUV and 7.3 litres per 100km for the 5008 SUV.

Active Grip Control

The 3008 and 5008 SUVs are not just fast, high-riding cars that are only at home on tarmac. Thanks to the ingenious Active Grip Control, both models perform admirably in off-road conditions. Active Grip Control is the next-generation version of the Traction Control System. It regulates torque and braking on each wheel to ensure maximum traction in all conditions.

Safety first

The safety package for both models comprises advanced driver-assistance systems such as park assist, hill start assist, hill descent control, 180º reverse camera and lane departure warning.

Not only do these highperfor­mance SUVs offer maximum interior space for outstandin­g comfort, their safety features are enhanced with sturdy passenger cell constructi­on on Peugeot’s new Efficient Modular Platform 2, which is 70kg lighter than its predecesso­r.

Both models are equipped with top-notch safety measures including anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distributi­on and electronic stability program for optimum protection and a stress-free driving experience.

The 3008 SUV comes in five colour options – Pearl White, Ultimate Red, Magnetic Blue, Amazonite Grey and Metallic Copper – while the 5008 SUV comes in Emerald Green, Nera Black, Amazonite Grey or Pearl White.

Both come with a fiveyear/120,000km warranty and access to the exclusive Sky Lounge by Naza at Subang Skypark terminal.

The 3008 and 5008 SUVs are available to test drive at your nearest dealership.
