What do you guys think about this car and it's pricing now considering the recent price hikes for C segment crossovers and all most of them now are priced over 60 lacs.

I think the price is kinda justified since the drive is very good. Though they could have added some features to Allure variant such as auto dimming mirror and rear ac vents etc.

[pwuser164673953716]

It's a great buy. I was sold on it even before most of these C segment crossovers went above 6 million. High chances are they are also waiting to price up Peugeot as well. so it's not gonna stay at this price for long I think. They just haven't done it yet not to spoil the launch period. Even then it's a fantastic buy. The design, the feel, the drive - is just better than even the C-segment crossovers and sedans. It's an established European brand that has really upped it's game in the last few years. It's the latest generation as well vs older Japanese/Korean generations running in the CKD market. Yes it's smaller and has it's minor missing things as you mentioned but if one does not have a usage of 5-6 passengers regularly then even on the size bit it's not too small - can fit 5 people. For me - it was not so much of an objective decision of comparing a bucket list of features. I want something fantastic to look at, different vs the rest of the pack on the road and power. The car is a head turner, especially the Orange Fusion, and fantastic to drive. Even the interior with the steering wheel shape, 3d i-Cockpit, the piano key like buttons - way ahead in modernism vs the others. Have had it now for almost a month and super happy with the purchase.

[Razor_Asif]

Awesome. Thanks for your comment. I hope the prices stay same for 3-4 months at least.

Could you touch upon whether it gives you a raised feeling of a crossover or feels more like a hatchback since thats one of the points thats been mentioned in reviews. Also, would love to know what mileage you're getting in city driving.

[pwuser164673953716]

Yes ofcourse it is a raised feeling. I've been driving Altis and Civic X as well so it's for sure a raised feeling. Fuel consumption - I drive with a heavy foot and the above 2 cars give me 7-8. This has given me anywhere from 9-14.5 in the city under different road conditions. Karachi has smaller roads and mostly traffic so I'd say it's pretty good in that sense.
I highly recommend you take a test drive. When I did that, it sealed the deal for me. It's readily available at the dealerships.

[Razor_Asif]

That is not a bad average since most people get around 10 from Civic X.

Yes I'm going tomorrow for test drive. Pretty excited. Have gone through all the YouTube reviews and walkthrough videos. I won't be able to book it right away but I so want to

[pwuser164673953716]

Yes I went through all the YT reviews as well. You'll find the international reviews on the likes of CarWow and all, they've all been stellar - despite the fact that it's a pricey car there as well. So it's a quality vehicle.
All the best!

[fastian04]

It’s rightly priced if we compare it in market. Yes it felt expensive but with stonic at 47, this seems a far superior car. Allure is very very good, had a test drive, maza agya .. onky regret was why Peugeot missed on brake hold

[wasiqshahab94]

Images of upcoming Peugeot 408 sedan leaked in China.

Interestingly, Peugeot is also about to launch a completely different vehicle with the same 408 name. This will be a coupe-crossover probably for European markets while the sedan will likely remain China-exclusive or be sold under a different name.

[fazalwahab11375]

Price Drop for limited time.

[Razor_Asif]

Only on active variant which imo is not worth it.

[wasiqshahab94]

Price drop?!? In this economy? I have a bad feeling about this

[Razor_Asif]

They are having a hard time selling these. Vehicles are available on ready delivery.

[wasiqshahab94]

One would have thought that with prices of all other cars rising substantially over the past few months, 2008 would have become a bit more attractive. But i guess Pakistanis didn't buy the premium European brand chooran. Hopefully this makes their management rethink their strategy and reconsider their decision to launch the e-2008. That thing has no place in our market.

[osamabinishrat]

Can anyone please tell what's the booking price of active variant?

Also is it ready for delivery? Or 1 month delivery time?

[Razor_Asif]

Ready delivery.

[usman19854]

They've tried a lot of things so far like TikTok marketing, sponsored articles and blogs but nothing seems to be working for it.

There's just no product market fit here. I'm sure it's a good car, it has great reviews everywhere I've seen but for Pakistanis the European brand thing won't work until you put the four rings or the three pointed star on it. People have a number of Korean and Chinese options in the range that are better vfm on paper.

I've seen literally only one so far, looked cool tho.

[fastian04]

One of the best crossovers to drive in Pakistan. But the french part is bigger issue than size in our country. Rip buyers
