Verdict
The RM16,900 step from the RM169,388 3008 to the RM186,288 5008 is fundamentally a space purchase. The 5008 is 160 mm longer, rides on a 110 mm longer wheelbase and carries seven rather than five, while its 952-litre boot beats 591 litres. Yet both use the same 165 hp/240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo, EAT6 and front-wheel drive, producing identical 8.9-second 0-100 km/h and 7 L/100 km figures. For a Malaysian household that will use the extra seats, choose the 5008; otherwise the lighter 3008 is the rational buy.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if five seats and a 591-litre boot are enough, and you would rather save RM16,900 for the same 165 hp drivetrain and quoted economy.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a more flexible three-section middle row.
