- Hey Guys, the little Lion, the Peugeot 2008 is here in Malaysia, and like all curious journalists, we had to just take this 1.2 liter B-Segment SUV up our favorite mountain to see just how it fares.
Despite its little engine, the 2008 is quite a fun vehicle, and I must say it is quite pleasing to the eyes, bot on the outside and inside as well.
It the very well appointed, and has ADAS features including BSM, Lane Departure and Lane keep, Auto High Beam, and AEB, which includes pedestrian detection. A good package, at RM125,888 but only until 30 June 2022, after which SST will kick in.
If you wish to book this vehicle, you can do so at shop.yskhongdriving.com or send me a whatsapp at 016 3350609.
Please enjoy the video, and let us have your comments below. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

That noisy modded Toyota bit was funny 😂hell lot of noise, overtaking a whole string of cars, really stepping on the throttle because the exhaust pitch keeps going up.. but the Peugeot 2008 is following right behind without any drama and without breaking a sweat!
Tested drive 2008 a week ago, steering is smaller compare to x50 but the handling are so good. Feel so compact also less noise, unlike the x50 has lot of noise from the A pillar side.
Experience is greater than horsepower and displacement. Loved how hw overtook the bmws and audis.
YESSS ME TOO AND IM REALLY ENJOY IT
Peugeot design & handling memang the best
but engines are crap
Thanks for the vid Ys!
So fast ahh the video came out.. thank you uncle khong for another amazing video 👍🏽👍🏽
Wooowww so fast ysk....just launched yesterday....sudah naik genting ooo
Got my 2008 GT a few months ago and I love it! I haven’t driven it like this yet though 😂
Now you know what it can do.
Not Malaysia unit, right?
Nice video, the cars looks faster than i tought, specially going up to the mountains
Yes, it drives quite well, thanks to the torque from the turbo.
NIce skill, respect
I bought my Peugeot 2008 bcoz of this video. Thanks.
How is your ownership experience? Handling, fc, high body roll, suspension.
So did I 😂
Good job uncle!
Great!!We want one more with traction control off and no wet so you can push the car to its limits.
Salute wt you sifu..all modified car will lose with your driving skill even with standard car
Glad to have review from a proper test driver. Skip the boring philosophy. Step on the pedal and drive. Keep it up Mr. Khong
Hahaha, thanks very much for your support.
Nice video Uncle.
First time I have watched "my" car drived in car thief mode. I like it :D
Happy Chinese New Year uncle, thanks for the vid 👍🏻
I remember taking a cab up this road on my honeymoon. The driver was a maniac and we were truly fearful for our lives.
On your honeymoon you should have driven up.
Even with the blurred speed... I can see the safety warning blinking on the 3D cluster. Nice. Also it doesn't beep like crazy. Nice. Sadly the panoramic roof is gone.
That was the traction control light, hahaha. Only found out how to turn it off later.
The traction control in the 2008 reactivates over 50km/h, pretty sure YS was at no point under that speed.
i thought there was something wrong with the speedometer from 00:50 onwards...until I go 'ahhhhh'....and figured out what it was.......I also own prev generation 2008...and Pugs dashboard tend to place little emphasis on 'privacy'.... :D
Planning to see it in Sunway pyramid tomorrow 💖
if you put aside reliability and comfort on top, peugeot is the best ...tested the third row 3008 , it so comfy you can tertido
That is the 5008. 3008 only 2 rows. No worries, I also was not sure until much later.
Waiting for the 508
Love the digital dash! Can see the speed at various sections of the road....
Hahaha, yes, very big numbers too!
damn, so many nice cars on the road! nice KE and nice porsche LOL!
I was hoping to see Kermit!
Wow first 2008 test drive video in Malaysia😱
Really? Didn't realize that. Not to worry, many more will be coming up soon. I wanted to get the Genting video up asap, hahaha.
Looks nicer and has better performance than the Proton X50 even though it is 30cc less and has lower hp.
300cc less
Seriously class driving sir I thought I was good similar tho
I love the small steering wheel :D
Mr Khong, set your GoPro to allow more light into the camera then the video will be brighten. Same function as smart phone under pro mode.
On a bright day we get burn out.
Top driver 🎉
Thanks ✌️
Wahh uncle, overtaking some super sedan with ease, sure make them wonder how big this car engine...
1.2 liter with turbo.
5:19 The Porsche driver just realized that 'A Legend' need to go faster than him..
Yeh, genting run by YS Khong again.
Another fantastic drive with a very nice car. Uncle YS. Just to share a comment to brighten your comments section, long, long time ago, whenever I go out for dating girls, I always borrowed my brother's Peugeot because it was super comfortable, spacious, stable and easy to drive. Hahaha
Hahaha, so did you eventually marry the one? Good memories. I loved the 403, one of the first cars I drove. It was a 3 speed column shift and diesel. One of the best handling cars of that time. With Michelin tyres.
@@YSKhongDriving Yup, married the one who stayed with me when the old Golf broke down on the way to Federal cinema. Now, we still like VW. Hahaha.
Got my Peugeot 2008 2021 Onyx blacj in may 2021. Never regret it, ofcourse there are cars with more HP, but you know for a fact you drive the best looking car!
True, I love the lokks too!
How's the car? Does it give you any trouble? Is bermaz service center good compared to the usual brands?
@@InnerFire6213 am interested to know as well.. after-sale is the only concern now..
Parking
i like the look of this 2008 inside and out, its funky but not offensive and weird
for the price many would go for other cars but none look as exciting as this one
Yes, it really looks very handsome.
On my old peugeot 308, the traction control enables itself above 50kmh and cant be disabled unless u go under that speed. Maybe this new 2008 has the same Traction Control setup as well
I found out later how to disable. Press and let go, and I slowed down. Slower cars tend to activate earlier, so I try to switch them off, unless it is raining.
@@YSKhongDriving so does it re-enables itself again after 50-60km/h?
Only racing Otais like YS Khong can overtake a Porsche in a non-sport cars :) By the way, I love the Corolla KE70 too. Had it once until 1995, and I regret replacing it with a Proton Saga Megavalve. The latter may be newer but the KE70 was a superior ride.
That Porsche obviously didn't want to race
It was an old model, and he was driving to keep the car in good condition, and so he was not going fast.
YS,
Exciting Peugeot 2008, how did it fare vs the Cross & leader X50?
Again, putting the price aside.....if you have only one bullet....which one to go for?
Tough decision. I want the GR Yaris, hahaha.
Good video. Just a question and not sure if it’s a fair comparison but price notwithstanding, would you choose the 2008 or the VW Tiguan 1.4 Allspace?
The 2008 is a B segment suv, and is a 5 seater. The Tiguan is C segment and is 7 seater. Both drive well. Size would be the determining factor. So it depends if you need a 7 seater or not. The Tiguan has a more powerful engine, and perhaps the 2008 has a better power to weight ratio.
@@YSKhongDriving Thanks 😊
The maintenance cost and reliability is a big concern from past histories. Furthermore the competencies of the service personnel despite the change of the distributors.
With the new distributor we are confident it will improve.
@@YSKhongDriving we hope for the best. Atleast the reliability for god sake despite the cost wise will never reduce. Selling price maybe be reasonable but the maintenance is exorbitant and reliability is much worse. Their staffs from service staff till customer service are just hopeless. Selling point is a Continental cars for a Japanese price and hardly live to the expectations due to the reliability issues. Warranty wise, they will find loop holes to make their customer’s life miserable till many doesn’t dare to touch Peugeot and VW.
They have lost their market share badly.
Hopefully the new distributor revamp the entire thing in order to gain new customers as the customers which are gone due to bad experiences will never come back.
@@nareshkumarasamy8244 Much better than Honda. Lots of quality issues for honda. Going to honda service center also never ending
@@juck2263 is it? I am not sure about it but about Peugeot and VW, I am certain as I am one of the victim.
Lots of engine seizure being report in Europe about the 3 cylinders turbo 1.2l puretech engine
So quiet!
why do you always make minor steering adjustment midway in a corner ? thanks
To induce oversteer, to straighten line, or to correct understeer, depending on situation.
That white bmw try to running away from uncle 😁😁😁
Eh? Where was it?
@@YSKhongDriving from early video
Great video. Would you pick this over the Proton X50?
It certainly drives well, and looks good. It would be a tough choice, between the two.
@@YSKhongDriving Did you personally enjoy driving the Proton X50 more? What about when considering the price, fuel consumption, reliability as well as after sales service?
something wrong with the holder? :( Shake until dizzy
Donno.
With this out in the B-Segment SUV market, curious what is your top 3 best B-Segment SUV uncle.😉
I love all cars!
Nice one uncle. Been waiting for your video on this car. In opinion which is much better 2008 or 3008 in terms driving comfort and handling? The price differences between these two models is around 30k only. So im a bit confused? 😂😂
3008 is bigger and more powerful.
Which one did you get eventually bro? I'm thinking the same too
Hi. Initially plan for 3008, but the lack of Autonomous Emergency Braking is a deal breaker, especially for a car thats nearly rm160k. On other side, 2008 have all the features, but its quite compact and just felt like a car and not suv when driving. And for this price of 2008, i rather get the corolla cross. Still haven't made my mind though 😅😅
@@sivasegarannadarajan4428 perhaps Mazda 5 then bro
Which is more stable at the highway speeds and more fun to drive , Geely coolray (proton x50) or 2008 ?!
The X50 has a bit more power, I reckon.
@@YSKhongDriving which is more fun and stable at high speeds ?!
Greeting Mr Khong. Ive been watching your videos recently. What i enjoyed most is actually seeing you having fun n smiling while racing up the hill.
Anyway im choosing between cx3 and 2008. Care to give some advice? Thanks
Hello Ray, both are excellent choices: the CX3 with the 2.0 liter engine is more powerful, while the 1.5 is less. Both are about the same size.
You can book either through our booking platform, shop.yskhongdriving.con
Hi Uncle Khong, between Peugeot 2008 and latest Mazda CX-3 which would you choose? Difficulty deciding
The Mazda is a well proven vehicle, and both are in the same size category. The CX3 is more agile, I would think.
@@YSKhongDriving thanks uncle, i was torn between these two, CX3 or 2008. Now it’s more clearer, I’m going for CX3
and Mazda far more reliable
Uncle khong, is 1.2 l turbo in this sufficient for long distance with full capacity onboard passangers and minor luggage?
Yes.
Even uphills??
508 when uncle. Did they tell u anything? 🤣 im holding off from buying passat, just to wait and test drive 508 before making a decision. Im the minority that still loves sedans. 508 so sexy
Hahaha, I know how you feel. Yes the 508 is a lovely car, but I think it will be a while. No news as yet, but that does not mean it won't come. After all the entire plant to service ASEAN is here in Malaysia.
Will not be cheap though.
Would you chose this or topup 10K for the Cross Hybrid?
The Cross hybrid is one size bigger.
Is the suspension pliant? For a B segment car
Felt quite good.
Wtf I want to see that beautiful meter.
very nice ~
how was the average fuel consumption on this run @YS Khong?
About 9 lit/100 km, quite good.
Not that petrol consumption friendly...for 9ltr/100kms.
@@linustw i guess it makes sense since he pressed the engine hard throughout
Otherwise, shud be economically if driving normally
@@linustw normal drive only take 5-6 ltr / 100km
@@linustwtown driving in penang about 8l/100km
Ajar sy skill driving sifu..please 😭
Power 1.2 puretech could "overtake" M3.. hehe
Hahaha, he was going slow, checking out this little persistent orange hatch.
Rally driver , for Peugeot it’s normal
Test drove both the X50 flagship and 2008. Felt that in terms of ride comfort and handling goes to 2008. Also somehow the 6 speed on the 2008 felt more responsive. What's your opinion uncle?
Already booked the 2008, just waiting for the little lion to arrive.
Great.
@@FiqVlog I'm 187cm, and got your typical dad bod. To put it simply, X50 has slightly more legroom, while the Peugeot got slightly more headroom.
congrats, enjoy your car soon! i really like the look of the 2008
How is the spare parts availability? Normal service pricing after 3 years?
@@skevin83 sorry, I'm still waiting on the car. So I have no information to answer your questions.
Will just have to wait and see.
uncle how come the video so shaky? is it something wrong with the cam mounting?😅
Dont think it was the mounting.
The cam mounting cannot hold the car speed :p
can i exchange my subaru to this😅 this one looks nice
Can.
Kalau beli kereta mahal tapi tak bagus pun tak guna tapi kereta ni kurang popular sebab mahal yang komen tu tolong ye jangan bandingkan dengan kereta tempatan.
This or an X70 SE ?
X70 is a bigger and more powerful vehicle. This one is frugal on fuel.
Mr YS Khong has been smiling right through the drive which isn't very common. What does that say?
It means this is a lovely car that delivers more than promised, lol.
Uncle Khong, maybe nx time u also put a pulse rate sensor. Want to know your heart rate while driving like that to Genting. 😃😃
Hahaha, about 135 bpm
uncle why sensor the speedometer ? :(
Because we do not want anybody to complain we are going too slow.
@YS Khong Driving Hehe I got your hint uncle! Thanks for the reply.
7:26 only dare on straight wide roads yellow papaya..
Does this car easy to maintain in Malaysia?
Should be a lot better, since there is a new distributor.
Is this kph or mph ?
Kph.
Sepatutnya Alura ni harga dia rm108,000 macam tu ja... Tapi malaysia buat gila jual dgn harga rm126+++.00.. spec lampu GTline tapi tombol gear macam keta murah... Jangan beli sebab dah di modify jadi cacat keta 2008 ni... Tunggu kalau spec 2008 GTline masuk baru puas hati beli...
Harga dah ubah. Sekali air berubah.....
bermaz makan kuat
Honda civic / triton is my choice for 125k
But two buyers already complained in showroom for Civic FE. One buyer complained about loose parts for rear air cond parts. Another buyer also complain about car body.
Some rattling on the center console too, i think honda quality has becoming lesser over the year.
No Paddle Shift, No Brake Hold, No Power Back Door and No Electric Seat Adjuster. I think the price is too expensive since many features is downgrade.
If have all those features, lagi expensive pulak
Already enquired Peugeot HQ, if bring in full spec (GT), price close to 160k.
They're running a business, not a charity.
At least that keeps the price reasonable.
Absolutely!
@@poemu6781 160 K for a Peugeot 2008 GT ? I prefer VW Tiguan Allspace 1.4 for the more or less the same money. It has bigger power, 4 cyl machine, dual clutch dsg transmission, 7 seat bigger cabin, etc. Benchmarking and comparison with others offering is a smart move, not seeking for a charity 🤭😊
@@jonatansterling397 exactly the reason why they didn't bring in the full specced 2008. They haven't yet garnered enough goodwill and prestige (locally) to be competing in that price range.
Using your logic, why would anyone buy a Tiguan when there's a Proton X70?
Also, the Tiguan (148hp/250nm) has slightly less power than 2008 GT (155hp/240nm)
Obviously that is a slow driving.😂
Pretty poor cornering compared to Corolla....
Very slow speed for 2008 on corners...
Barely 65 km /h esp immediately kicks in very poor grip performance
Hahaha, a Toyota lover.
@@YSKhongDriving obviously..
Only new Toyota though...
Old were pretty bad and ugly ..
TNGA, TNGB cars
Yaris, yaris cross, Corolla, Corolla cross,yaris gr,
And big lexus fan..
1.2 liter engine...batter buy alza la...dont waste your money for the expensive spare part...otherwise...malaysian not realy like to by peugeot brand...they like to by honda la...
This one got turbo.
How can Alza be even compared to this 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
local mentalily better continue drive local car lah.. never touch continental.. not suitable for you.. XD
Just another 2WD SUV 👎🏻
Just enjoy the video!
U can ignore
