Verdict
The Peugeot 3008 costs RM169,388, while the Peugeot 5008 asks RM186,288; that RM16,900 gap buys two extra seats, a 952-litre boot instead of 591 litres, and a more flexible three-section middle row with a third row. The trade-off is a 160 mm longer, 103 kg heavier SUV. Performance is a draw: both use a 165 hp/240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, EAT6 automatic and front-wheel drive, with 8.9-second 0-100 km/h times. For five occupants, the 3008 is the more rational Malaysian buy. Large families should pay for the 5008.
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.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a slidable, reclining 33:33:33 middle row.
