Stellantis Malaysia has introduced a mild update to the nine-year-old second-generation Peugeot 3008, maintaining the list price of RM169,388 but offering a RM31,388 rebate for an effective price of RM138,000. Exterior revisions include the new shield logo, 18-inch two-tone turbine alloys from the 408 and updated corporate typography, while the interior gains the latest 12.3-inch i-Cockpit display. The 1.6-litre THP turbo four-cylinder engine continues to deliver 165 PS and 240 Nm through a six-speed Aisin automatic. Despite featuring blind spot monitoring and lane keeping assist, the model lacks autonomous emergency braking. According to Stellantis ASEAN chief Isaac Yeo, the third-generation 3008 remains too costly for the Malaysian market.

The Black Style features a honeycomb grille, while the Cross Touring "special edition" adds rugged styling with side rocker panels, skid plate-equipped front bumper and light-colored interior with orange stitching.

The Model Y L features ISOFIX mounting points and larger headrests absent in the standard version. With Australian certification secured, right-hand drive markets including Malaysia may soon receive the model.
