Even though the booking for this model is now open, according to Nasim they have managed to secure a considerable amount of booking for this particular model. For your information, the 3008 has won numerous awards in Europe including the prestigious What Car? magazine Car of the Year 2010 award. The most interesting part is Malaysia will be the first country in ASEAN region to launch the 3008 besides the European market.
Nasim is very excited about the prospect of the 3008 and they are on an upbeat mood based on the encouraging sales of Peugeot vehicles in Malaysia this year. This year, Nasim has revised upwards its sales forecast for 2010 by nearly 30% to 3,800 units from 2,930 units sold last year. In order to achieve this target, Nasim has announced that beside the new 3008 SUV, they will launced 2 more new models and 2 facelift variants.

The new launch vehicle lined up for Nasim this year will be the 5008 MPV and a B-segment sedan codename T33 which is essentially a 206 sedan. The T33 sedan will be locally assemble in Gurun, Kedah for both domestic and regional markets.
As for the facelifted models, Nasim will face lifted the award winning 308 VTi soon that features new alloy wheels, automatic foldable door-mirrors, roof spoilers, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a multifunction display, a new front grille as well as a fully automatic air conditioning. This face lifted 308VTi is also now open for booking if you fancy this French lion.
With the forecast increase of sales, Nasim is not going to sit around with its existing network of 3S, in line with the sales increase; Nasim will launch 2 new branches in Ipoh and Puchong soon apart from the recently launched 3S center in Ampang. As for the current owners of Peugeot, good news for them as Nasim recently reduces its spare parts pricing by 20% in order for the masses in Malaysia can afford to buy the lion brand. Besides that, Nasim has a well stocked inventory worth RM 5.7million to ensure the parts are available when needed by its customers.
Not many branch are available especially like Melacca.
ReplyDeleteApart of reducing parts price more outlet has to be opened. More test drive vehicles has to be made ready since after driving the lion only you will feel like purchasing it.
Yes, your concerns is valid, even last time I'm quite surprise that after the 5008 just launched here in Malaysia, Nasim only have 1 unit of 5008 for customer to test drive in the Klang Valley. I will forward your concern to Naza so that at least they know what's the customers concern if they want to succeed in this field.
