Verdict
The Jetour T2 is the stronger all-round choice for buyers who want punch and active safety: its 241 hp and 375 Nm comfortably exceed the Peugeot 5008’s 165 hp and 240 Nm, while all-wheel drive, autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control suit longer Malaysian road trips. The Peugeot counters with seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a lower RM120 annual road tax against RM439. Pick it when carrying people and luggage matters more than outright performance; otherwise, the T2 gives more hardware for the money.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive and autonomous braking in a five-seat SUV.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and lower annual road tax.
