Verdict
At RM178,200 versus RM186,288, the Honda CR-V is the lower-entry choice, but the Peugeot 5008 answers back with seven seats and a 952-litre boot against the Honda’s five seats and 589 litres. Both return a rated 7 L/100 km and reach 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. The Honda suits buyers who place autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control and eight airbags first; the Peugeot brings 240 Nm from 1,400 rpm, a longer 2,840-mm wheelbase and much lower RM120 annual road tax.
Pick the Honda CR-V if you want Honda Sensing autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control with Low Speed Follow and eight airbags in a five-seat SUV.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and 240 Nm from its 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine.
