Verdict
At RM169,388, the Peugeot 3008 costs RM9,440 more than the RM159,948 Xpeng G6, yet the G6 is the quicker and more technically ambitious choice. Its rear motor produces 248 hp and 440 Nm for 0-100 km/h in 6.94 seconds, against 165 hp, 240 Nm and 8.9 seconds for the Peugeot. The G6 also brings a 68.5 kWh battery, 480 km stated range and 382 kW DC charging. The 3008 fights back with CKD assembly, a 591-litre boot and RM120 annual road tax versus RM240.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you want CKD assembly, the larger 591-litre boot and lower annual road tax, and are content with petrol power.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want 248 hp, 440 Nm, a 480 km stated EV range and much stronger active-safety equipment for less money.
