New Peugeot 207CC bookings exceed expectation
21 April 2008KUALA LUMPUR - Nasim Sdn Bhd (NSB) has reported that the initial batch of 20 units of Peugeot 207CC are sold out and the waiting period for the 120bhp, 1.6L car which is equipped with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) is now up to four months.
The new Peugeot 207CC which has yet to be launched officially in Malaysia is sold at RM158,888 and it appears to be one of the most affordable new coupe cabriolets available in Malaysia currently. Coupe cabriolets are actually convertibles which do not use canvas for a roof but employ a folding metal roof instead.
The good news is probably due to renewed interest in lifestyle automobiles as a few European brands have also launched coupe cabriolets for the local market recently. Automobiles Peugeot's ASEAN regional office is also pleased with the sales performance of the new car. Mr Dominique Dourouze, General Director of Automobiles Peugeot ASEAN Regional Office said that this model that takes over from the 206CC and Automobiles Peugeot is confident that new 207CC owners will find the driving experience of the new car a whole lot more exciting, especially with the newer and more powerful VVT engine. The 206CC set a very high standard but they are confident that the 207CC will exceed them. In addition, the new 207CC is also one of the safest in its class with a full 5 star EuroNCAP crash test rating.
En SM Nasarudin Tan Sri Dato' Seri Utama SM Nasimuddin, CEO of NSB said that the sales performance of the 207CC is indeed good news for the company. It can be seen that the acceptance for Peugeot cars and also NSB as the official brand custodian for Peugeot is on the rise.
NSB had previously set a low target for the 207CC due to its niche status but is considering increasing its orders with Peugeot for the new 207CC due to the unexpected good response to the new model.
