Peugeot 308 Turbo -

Now With Full-Length Panoramic Glass Roof, Debuts In Malaysia

Peugeot’s 308 Turbo has been further upgraded to include a full length panoramic glass roof. This new feature is set to move the value benchmark set by the 308 Turbo further ahead and cement it as a thoroughly premium offering in its segment. The 308 Turbo Panoramic, retailing at RM113, 888 (OTR, including insurance and road tax, available from end July onwards), will be the only car in its class with such a premium feature.

The large panoramic roof allows for an unobstructed 1.26m2 (or 2/3 of the roof) view of the sky and is most spectacular at night. In daylight, the full length electric sun-blind with ‘one-touch’ operation provides privacy to occupants. Athermic glass is used for the panoramic roof, which, together with the dual zone digital air conditioner and additional rear air condition vents ensures a cool environment for occupants while providing for the airy open feel of a convertible, without the dust, heat and pollution.
The 308 Turbo’s “International Engine of the Year Award’ winning 1.6-litre direct injection turbo petrol engine designed by PSA Peugeot Citroën in cooperation with BMW Group, has an output of 240Nm of torque from just 1,400rpm and 140hp at 6,000rpm. The latest win was the third win in a row for Peugeot in these prestigious awards. The 308 was also the winner of the prestigious “Golden Lenkrad 2007” award in Germany for the best compact car based on its design, comfort, safety and environmental friendliness. It was also the AMI New Zealand Autocar Car of the Year 2008 in its category.

With this improved specification introduced in Malaysia by distributor Nasim Sdn. Bhd., the latest 308 Turbo further strengthens its customer appeal by combining performance with economy. In addition to its elegant and attractive appearance, still distinctive in its segment, its durability and its competitive overall operating costs, the 308 Turbo continues to be acclaimed for its excellent road holding and its undiminished ability to combine safety and driving enjoyment with a high level of comfort and convenience.
