Naza 206 Premium now on sale for RM71,888
Naza Corporation has introduced a premium version of the Naza 206 Bestari called the Naza 206 Premium. It’s priced at RM71,888.00, about RM3k more than the 206 Bestari’s RM68,877.80 price tag. For the additional RM3k, this is what you get:
- Leather on the steering wheel, interior and two-tone seats.
- 3 head restraints for the rear seat bench
- A 6-speaker audio system (additional 2 over the Bestari)
- Seat back pockets and Peugeot logo at the back of the front seats
- Only rear spoiler (you lose the full bodykit of the 206 Bestari)
- New design Peugeot-badged 14 inch alloy wheels
- 206 Premium badging, Peugeot sill plates, door visors, hood insulator
- Reverse sensors
The interior leather is done up in orange, meant to be the same colour as the dashboard lighting. With more Peugeot badges around the car including on the alloy wheels it should be cheaper and easier for you to Peugeotize this car, which is what most people do. You get a 5 year warranty with 3 years free service including parts and labour.
The 206 Premium comes in 4 colours – Quick Silver, Aegean Blue, Svelte Grey and Onyx Black. Look after the jump for photos of the rear and the interior.
guys, just asked a Pug salesman doing a sales in Carrefour Hussein Onn yesterday. it’s cheaper now, 44100 for auto and 39800 manual. heck!
can’t do anything but to watch my dream car slips away (i’m all broke now)……. they’ll bring in 207 soon. i’m sleepless……. btw, i drove a nationally assembled french car as well (u know it), and like it a lot. personally i think local attitude and perspective towards continentals are somewhat biased (tax system, proton and perodua started with ‘ckd’ing japs make, silly mark up by mechanics).
anyway, those still want can contact peugeot showroom in Kg Pandan. try your luck. haha…. and keep it in good shape, i might want to buy it secondhand from ya.
Is that true? i would wait 207 hatchback if it will comes.
visited naza at ttdi. they are still taking orders. but limited to only auto and silver or light blue. test drive available at hq in kl. ttdi test drive only on weekends. according to sales guy, 207 will come in next year but it is a sedan. so no more peugeot supermini after this. wonder if that is really true?
that’s very sad to know… not more taking orders. Am currently actively looking for a car. From Suzuki Sx4, Toyota Rush till i find this little lion….
(
called peugeot today. 206 has a new price since july 09 – auto 48999 manual 43999 but they are currently not taking anymore orders till further notice.
Hey, I dun knw how true issit…but I saw Naza selling Bestari 206 for 48,888 otr… Paul can you pls confirm this???
thanks
Naza Bestary is very nice car. Naza team take a good idea for sale. No interest, no down payment and 3 months free on road. How do you think? So easy to be our cars. i like it…yeah…..
BanyakMasukWorkshop,
Yes, you’re right, but don’t forget, how much difference comparing with the CBU, that’s my point. There is at least RM30K difference and unlike many other CKD, this 206 is merely “badging” change, it still retain it full specs and safety features. Just take a look around the Bestari, you’ll find French words here and there, even the Naza logo on the steering, when removed it’s a Lion patch. Even the windscreen itself is not cheap.
As for local content, I believe other CKD have pretty high local content too, not to mentioned some have about 50%, yet, when it is released, it cost more than it’s predecessor. Not to mentioned again, that many speculated the price to be way way below the released price. But what happen to that?
But yes, no matter what, all cars in Malaysian is still expensive, but trutfully, let’s forget everything about brand, manufacturers, etc. Compare specs and features only and how much it is priced. It’s still obvious even without bringing EURO into picture.
As for those who say “old” should be “cheap”… er… What kinda statement is that, it’s not that the 206 is no longer available or has phase out. Truly, those are ridiculous statement, it’s NOT old stock, it’s NEW stock.
So, why not tell H/T, next year NEW stock V/C should sell cheaper because the car is a year older.
What a joke man.
Alot of the pricing also had to do with the past when nasim was still not the official franchise holder for peugeot in malaysia. they were just assemblers only at the time. i’m sure that nasim would have wanted the best combination of spec and price. but whatever it is, they are at least trying to give the public more variety with the introduction of the premium model. it won’t be to everyone’s taste for sure as evident by the negative remarks of those who do not know the real story of how much the car actually cost. yes, there are tax breaks for re-badging but then the euro is not are not known to be very generous either.
definitely does not appeal to those who respond in this forum but yet there are those who find good value in the little french car.
andy214, one thing i did not agree with you is the point on comparing the CBU pug 206 with this naza version.
technically, the cars naza sells under the bestari brand, are sold as national cars. therefore, they are not paying the same duties as are paid by the official pug206 import. Also, to qualify as a national car, they must have a certain percentage of local content. with this local content, the cost of the car should go down further, than your regular CKD foreign brand..
I’ll leave it up to the rest of you to speculate naza’s pricing…
but its common knowledge that all these manufacturers sell old models of their cars in emerging markets.. if you go to south africa, you will still see 1990’s toyotas and even the golf mk1 still being sold as “new” cars, but at a low price of course. there will always be a market for cars like these because lets face it, not everyone in the world can afford a brand new current model car. if people will buy it, someone will sell it. if you dont like it, dont buy it.
the original VW beetle was still in production in mexico up till the 90’s, and thats more than 40 years in production… and people joke about the saga…
I did ask why they didn’t convert but I was told they already register the car under the Naza brand, and there’s this and that procedure, etc. I guess they also regret that they rebadge it, causes so many problems, and someone who never know anything about the car can tell people they the interrior looks different from the original Peugeot, and some say it’s using China’s engine, bla bla bla. Joke man~
This 206 is one of those CKD which maintained it’s specs, features as well as the safety ratings, unlike many others.
As for the 1.4L, I can only say perhaps they misjudge the public or malaysian motorist, thinking that they 1.4L is the best selling model in UK and also people’s concern on the Fuel Consumption, they brought in the 1.4L first and only 1.4L.
Then again, my SA did mentioned to me that the 1.6L would be more expensive that people would’ve expect because the tax thingy. Well, I have no idea.
But truthfully, before the 206 Bestari was launch and based on the CBU pricing, who would’ve expect it to be priced below RM70K at all, with logical prediction. RM70K is about RM30K difference from the CBU pricing, for those who didn’t know how to calculate. Do you find any CKD have such big difference? It sadden those CBU owners, but at the same time, it’s a good news and opportunity for those who have been wanting to own a 206. The bright side for CBU owners would be hopefully, more spare parts, cheaper parts, and also more expertise are available.
Yes, power wise, I do agree, altough I don’t drive the 1.4L, but in corners, winding roads, hills, you hardly feel it’s underpower sincerely. I witness with my own eyes how great the car is, a stock Bestari with original 175 profile tyres, following a Citroen Xantia 2.0L closely on corners, while I’m keeping up with them both, and the car it’s so stable and you don’t even hear any screeching tyres sound. I was thinking, if I wa driving my Wira, with low profile tyres, I wonder if I could’ve keep up, plus my “Tiger” tyres would’ve been screaming like mad.
As for new variants of 206, I don’t think there will be anymore, the response hasn’t been good and when it’s finish, I think they’re gonna let it go already.
Previously I heard there’re plans for a 206 Sport but I think they’ve give up on it already.
Afterall, it’s the only one keeping the Naza badge. The 308 is coming in soon, including the 308 GT (already in), and probably will be followed by the 207 GTi, etc.
This 206 is still good for those who wants it, rather than going for the other brands in the price range or 10K-20K more, plus, compare in details of features, this car are way much better than those available below RM100K.
Just depends on the buyer preference, afterall not everyone appreciates and look at the features/specs, some might concentrate completely on looks, or solely on resale value/parts/reliability/etc.
Whichever, this information here for those who are interested.
Of course putting it under the naza brand didn’t help it either. Surprised they haven’t converted it over to Peugeot now that they hold the franchise.
As for the 1.6, I still can’t understand their reasoning of waiting to see how the 1.4 does first. If their strategy really was what you described, that’s just shooting themselves in the foot. You can’t offer only an outdated engine like the TU3 and say well if you guys buy enough of these maybe we’ll offer something better and screw over the earlier buyers. Well unless you’re protected like proton is.
There are a lot of Pug enthusiasts in this country but I think the same people that would likely be attracted to this car would also be disappointed once they saw the performance didn’t live up to the looks. I saw a naza 206 sportivo at the track last time. Was great looking inside and out, but i was sad to see how butt slow it was out on the track. Even my wife’s old 306 could blow it away.
Now a 3 door 206, with 16v engine, bodykit and PeugeotSport package. There’s one they could CKD and that’d definitely turn some heads.
True, if old and if I’m no wrong, Peugeot will completely phase out this model by or in 2010. But the point here is, there’re still people who prefer the 206 over the 207, not only here.
There’re people who only wants the latest only, want to be in-the-trend, then why bother looking at this post. If it afterall information for those who are interested.
As for bringing in the 1.6L, from the poor response from the public despite it’s low price for a european car with such features, and people comparing it ridiculously. Do you think they would want to bring in the 1.6L?
I did inquire before from Naza Corp website not long after the Bestari was launch on the possibilities of the 1.6L and other variants (e.g. 3 Door Hatch) and I was replied that they will need to see the public response. Sadly, such a good car and many would’ve thought impossible to own one day is made available, but was hammered with such poor response and ridiculous comparisons (especially pricing, a continental against local, duh), and without understanding and knowing the car at all. Two main reasons could be the culprit here, rebadging issue and also “Naza”. Continentals could also be part of the reason as it were viewed poorly in our country, but funny, it’s only common in auto industries?
Anyway, some people just “talk”, (e.g. should’ve brought in 207), but as if they’re gonna buy it, and the 206 still has the 2008 manufactured models here (do they even know?). Logically speaking, why should they bring in the 207 now and kill themselves. The 207cc is already here, it’s only a matter of time for the other variants of 207 to make their appearance.
Then again, as if these people are gonna purchase it and they don’t seem understand the car at all. Just merely talk about the latest.
Actually when it comes to Peugeot’s small cars, older=better in the eyes of many Pug fans. The 206 and 306’s handling and driver feel is generally considered to be superior to the heavier, softer, more detached models that followed them.
The real glaring mistake, as others have pointed out, is the ancient 1.4 engine as the only choice. The 1.4 is fine for europe, where cars always have manual transmission, fuel prices make rm2.70 look like a great bargain, and cars rarely spend much time out of the city and on the highway. And even there loads of people opted for the more powerful engines available.
Should have added the 1.6L 16v engine and the 206 GTi (either version) to the lineup by now if they were really serious about selling these. If they want to capture the younger market they need a flagship model to hold its own in those teh-tarik-shootouts and to rub off onto the lesser models.
So instead of people comparing a 1.4 grocery-getter to the satria R3 (what a ridiculous comparison that is anyways, not least for the fact the R3 was limited to FIFTY units) let em chew on the 206 GTi RC 180. Which helps to sell 1.6 and 1.4 models.
Anyways, I imagine they’ll stick stubbornly with the 1.4 as i’m sure it’s dirt cheap…unfortunately the design, while still beautiful, isn’t getting any younger, and the window of opportunity for this model to make an real impression is starting to close.
correction: taling = talking
car_craze
persona and db9??? what are u taling about?
Basically as what lowprofile has mentioned, it’s an additional variety for those who “might” be interested to go for it.
Someone “might” think it’s useless or pointless, but that’s what YOU think, right?
The truth is, there ARE people who wants it and maybe has been requesting it, you never know.
As a result, there’s already a buyer who bought it.
So, remember, try to think and look “outside-the-box”.

Handling/equipment-wise, the R3 is miles ahead. The 206 B price is such because they bumped it up, as far as I’m concerned, the Premium addenda does not justify the RM70k tag, anyhow you wanna look at it.
———
It seems there’s many things you don’t know?
Do you know what’s the price of the 206 CBU 1.4L?
Can you find any CKD that reduced so much priced and yet keep up to it’s specs, standards and safety features?
The 206 is still available in Peugeot International website and still in demand in various countires, they have even locally assemble it.
It’s not yet obsolete, the design maybe old yes, after all, it’s stilla 206 not a 207.
But wait wait, where are we going here? There’re still people who likes/loves the 206, if you don’t, I don’t get what you’re doing? Jealousy? Dissastisfaction?
Hmm…
Handling-Equipment wise miles ahead? Wow! That shows how much you DON’T know about the car.
As I’ve mentioned, handling wise, if you “think” it’s not good, that just what you think because it’s well known worldwide that it’s good. The 206 GTi is nothing different except high stiffer suspension, easily upgradeable. And fyi, chasis rigidity and strength plays an important role.
Anyway, don’t give false information about the car if you don’t know about the car, and have not driven it.
If you have driven it, and it simply does not suit your taste, then it’s you personal view. This is about the sharing information on the car, I don’t think people wanna know Mr. X prefer XXX brand car, or prefer XXX brand handling. Heck, is it even important is some supermodel likes/dislikes a car? In the end, it’s up to the person buying.
What you’re doing isn’t helping at all or informative at all.
Every car has it’s good and bad, and it may suit different people, and it may also suit certain people but isn’t practical for him/her.
That’s up to the person to judge him/herself.
i would love to buy from naza if they rebadge the volkswagen golf at reasonable price hehe.
Bestari Tiara.
the 206 premium is just a limited exercise. it is created to give the market some variety. the 206 range now consists of the 206 Bestari (A/M) and 206 Premium (A). up to customers to buy or not. but at the rate the 206 premium is selling, there won’t be many left. really limited numbers of this model. it is not viewed as a large volume seller.
satria guy:
Don’t la compare Neo R3 with the Bestari. With due respect to the Bestari ( or rather the Peugeot 206) the Neo R3 is a tuned road car.
Handling/equipment-wise, the R3 is miles ahead.
why not?? r3 price and and 206 is in the same range and both of them are hatchback. atleast we can see which one is worth our money. apart from what brand they are
some one stated i’m not sure who,, he said that he got 206 for 52k 11k discount. does not intent to condemn naza’s selling.. but why buy now even if you really fell in love with it, wait a little longer who knows if the price drop sommore.
use the 11k for petrol muahahhaha
Jesus Chriss…Naza is steping back the foot prints of Proton….71k for old model rebadge car?? No wonder so far i’ve only seen 5 times this 206 on the road since it launched.
Wow! This is definitely one of the best issue ever debated by two party with each pointing out their on reason and facts…and I LOVED it! Simply b’coz…no calling names involved. Good! Now, on the subject…I used to dream owning it once. Too bad that time I could only afford a Satria. Now, I won’t pay a RM71k for it. Why? I know Naza marketing strategy team so well…if this is the Premium specs then why (Naza should answer this) only right now they come out with this? Why not selling it when they launch the CKD 206B and follow by the Sportivo specs that time? You all know this…to clear the stock that not moving. Peugeot are PASSIONATE when making cars while Naza are only PASSIONATE making money! Yes, someone stated here that the 207 is already open for booking…I stress it again…BOOKING! Hell no Naza gonna bring the 207 in since they had so much 206B to clear. I know the 207 is CBU while the 206B is CKD but if Naza does bring it in…then these 2 models will eat each other since they actually from the same class!
Still, old or new…this Pug is a very good car in terms of handling and comfortness. That is undeniable facts! Underpower…YES! But which European model that you could actually get (CKD or not) brand new, good handling and comfort for RM71k? And I dig the new interior that they have done to it…NICE! Then, as I said earlier…I won’t give Naza my RM71k on this. I’ll go for the the Suzuki Swift Premium specs for it’s performance, smoothness (the gear change is great), features like auto headlights and rain sensor, looks (especially loved the white one) and the comfortness too since…I have test drive them BOTH! Just my two cents and my choice…peace!
Yes the SNeoR3 is a totally different, sports-oriented model. The 206 is more of a feel-good 1.4L Euro car for cruising around and getting from A to B comfortably. If you itemise the cost of the items its not that bad. The leather seats alone are very pricey. They are trying to put out something good, offering more choice for consumers. RM70k is for a non-ASEAN CKD vehicle. Whatever Kung Fu done cannot make it any more cheaper. The 206 is a current car, not old stock or end-of-life as many people seem to think. I believe the 206 will stay in production until 2011 GLOBALLY unless I’m mistaken. Peace, bro. Don’t hate.
Don’t la compare Neo R3 with the Bestari. With due respect to the Bestari ( or rather the Peugeot 206) the Neo R3 is a tuned road car.

If they have to finish up their old stock, why do they put it against current cars’ prices?
Let’s see how long will it take for the stock of 206 Bs to finish shall we?
this car is old, i want the 207
satria neo r3 vs 206 rally variance spec by spec
satria neo vs 206
Then you will know why the price is like heaven and hell thus no one deny it
but than NAZA is still too much with that price haha for being dominating most of the AP in the country.
CAMPRO CPS and the IAFM i m looking forward for feedback of the market. SAGA already feed back that it’s not so fuel efficient as expected or not as good as wira comparable yet still ok for that price. And piece of advance do not expect too much for what it is new.
———————————————
yeah that comparison is what i’m talking about,
about saga’s cannot be compared with wira.. obviously saga is saga.. and only can be match up with old saga. wira should be compared with persona in order to prove that the replacement model is better. yup feedback is one of the way.
by the way has anyone who have try both satria neo and this fella? want to know their opinion..
apherance,
the satria neo r3 is an all out mini hot hatch. the 206 is not – its a small car designed for small, young families/couples. it also offers a bit more cabin space and has 2 more doors for more convenience. diferent people have different priorities. those who aren’t going to race at traffic lights will find the 206 more comfortable for day to day use and also with the tiptronic gearbox.
can’t compare apple to orange.
