Peugeot Puretech engine
What set these Peugeots apart from their previous incarnations are their award-winning 3-cylinder PureTech engines.
Both the 208 hatchback and 2008 SUV Puretech are powered by the 1.2-litre turbocharged Peugeot Puretech engine, which won the Petrol Engine of the Year award at the CarSifu Editors’ Choice Awards 2017.
The 1.2-litre Peugeot Puretech 3-cylinder petrol engine produces 112PS and 205Nm of torque, and has the power and performance of a 1.6-litre engine, but the fuel efficiency of a smaller engine.
This compact engine features direct fuel injection, light-weight materials and turbo charging for a fuel efficient, responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
In the new 208 Puretech, its fuel consumption is rated at 5 litres per 100km on the mixed driving cycle, which means the car can travel up to 1,000km with a 50-litre petrol tank.
On the extra-urban driving cycle, fuel consumption is even lower at a miserly 4.2 litres per 100km, which translates into an incredible 1,190km driving range.
The Peugeot Puretech also won the 2015, 2016 and 2017 International engine of the year award in the 1.0-litre to 1.4-litre category, and is a product of Peugeot’s 100 years of intelligent, innovative engineering.
Stop-Start Technology ensures optimal control over fuel consumption as it deactivates the engine when speed is below 20kph and restarts smoothly when the accelerator is pressed.
This Stop-Start technology also reduces fuel consumption by up to 15% in dense urban traffic and re-ignition which is 40%
quicker.
The engine is mated to an efficient six-speed automatic transmission with Quickshift technology, which makes quicker gear changes possible while providing a high degree of driving pleasure.
Its output is improved by reducing internal friction and using lockable converters that prevent any slippage.
High comfort & safety kit
Both the 208 and 2008 have refined interior, with the Peugeot i-Cockpit making a welcoming sight as it delivers a stimulating, incisive and safe driving experience.
The compact sport leather steering wheel offers precise steering and improved manoeuvrability while the large seven-inch HD multifunction colour touchscreen puts all the functionality at your fingertips.
In addition, the head up instrument panel allows driver information to be accessed without taking your eyes off the road.
This innovatively designed layout was deservedly recognised at the 29th Annual Festival Automobile International by winning ‘Most Beautiful Interior’.
Other features include Arkhamys 3D Audio system with six speakers, full digital connectivity with USB and Bluetooth, digital dual zone climate control via touchscreen, versatile modular seats, generous cabin storage and voluminous cargo space.
Committed to reliability and protection, the 208 hatchback and 2008 SUV Puretech achieved five star safety ratings from Euro NCAP thanks to their six airbags and an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) featuring Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Anti-Skid Regulation (ASR) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).
Other safety features include Very High Strength Steel grade body construction, Hill Start Assist, three sets of ISOFIX points at the rear for child seats, pretensioner safety belt with load limiter and seatbelt alarm audio, advanced electric power steering and Peugeot Rolling Code Transponder immobilizer security.
Nasim Sdn Bhd, the official distributor for Peugeot in Malaysia, offers a Peace of Mind warranty valid for a total of 5 years or up to 120,000km, whichever comes first.
