Stellantis Malaysia has officially introduced a refreshed “new look” 2026 Peugeot 3008 for the local market, keeping the long-serving second-generation SUV alive with subtle cosmetic updates and a significantly more attractive price point.
While global markets have already moved on to the third-generation 3008, Malaysia continues with the current model – first introduced in 2017 and facelifted in 2021 – now updated with Peugeot’s latest corporate identity and a revised price that may tempt value-conscious SUV buyers.
Price: From RM138,000 After Rebate
The official retail price remains around the RM169k–RM170k mark, but a substantial rebate of over RM31,000 brings the effective price down to RM138,000. At this figure, the 3008 undercuts many C-segment SUV rivals while retaining its continental positioning.
Buyers also benefit from:
- Five-year / 150,000 km warranty (standard)
- Extendable up to seven years / 200,000 km
- Locally assembled (CKD) status
- Offered in a single Allure variant
- Limited stocks at this promotional price
For those seeking a European-branded SUV without breaching the RM150k threshold, this pricing shift changes the conversation significantly.
Exterior: New Badge, New Wheels, Familiar Silhouette
The updates are subtle but noticeable:
- Peugeot’s new shield-style crest replaces the old standing lion logo
- Updated Peugeot script on the tailgate in the brand’s latest corporate font
- New 18-inch Granite Black alloy wheels (shared with the 408 Premium)
- Retains frameless grille and signature “Lion Claw” LED lighting
Other exterior highlights remain:
- Automatic LED headlights with DRLs
- LED taillights
- Panoramic sunroof
- Hands-free powered tailgate
- Power-folding side mirrors
- Automatic wipers
Visually, the 3008 still holds its own thanks to its sharp proportions and distinctive lighting signature, even nine years into its lifecycle.
Interior: Distinctive i-Cockpit Experience
Inside, the Peugeot 3008 continues to feature the brand’s unique i-Cockpit layout, requiring drivers to look over the compact steering wheel toward the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Key interior equipment includes:
- 12.3-inch digital instrument display
- 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Wireless charging pad
- Six-speaker sound system
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Six-way power-adjustable front seats (driver with lumbar support)
- Leather upholstery
- Paddle shifters
- Sport mode selector
The cabin still feels modern and driver-focused, even if the platform itself is ageing.
Powertrain: Proven 1.6L THP Turbo
Under the bonnet, nothing changes and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
The 3008 continues with Peugeot’s long-serving:
- 1.6-litre THP turbocharged four-cylinder
- 165 PS @ 6,000 rpm
- 240 Nm @ 1,400 rpm
- Six-speed Aisin automatic transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- Advanced Grip Control traction system
Fuel consumption is rated at 7.0L/100km (NEDC), with a claimed top speed of 205 km/h.
It’s not the newest drivetrain in the segment, but it remains smooth, torquey, and well-suited for urban and highway driving.
Safety: Adequate, But Missing One Key Feature
The 3008 comes with:
- Six airbags
- Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Speed Limit Recognition
- Driver Attention Warning
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
- Front and rear parking sensors
However, one major omission stands out:
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is not included, despite the presence of a windscreen-mounted camera system.
At this price point in 2026, that absence may influence safety-conscious buyers especially with increasingly competitive rivals in the segment.
Four Exterior Colours Available
- Pearl White
- Amazonite Grey
- Nera Black
- Cuprite Brown
Final Thoughts: Strategic Move or Final Chapter?
The addition of Peugeot’s latest corporate identity onto a nearly decade-old platform signals a transitional phase. With Stellantis confirming that newer-generation Peugeots may be priced beyond what the Malaysian market can comfortably absorb, especially against aggressive Chinese competitors, this updated 3008 may serve as a bridge model.
At RM138,000, it presents a compelling value proposition for buyers who prioritise European styling, distinctive interior design, brand heritage, and are less concerned about having the latest-generation platform.
The real question is:
Is this refreshed 3008 a smart buy at its new price or a stopgap before Peugeot’s next move in Malaysia?
