The Peugeot brand has seen its ups and downs under the NAZA, specifically Nasim Sdn Bhd. But, as we have learnt, they’ve got a bright future ahead of them in this country, as the same company who have brought Mazda to success over the last decade or so.

Last month, it was made official, Berjaya Auto Alliance would be taking over sole distributorship of Peugeot in Malaysia, with aftersales and spare parts distribution of other PSA marques Citroën and DS also coming under their umbrella.

Today, we have follow up news to that announcement.
