Verdict
The Peugeot 5008 is the more family-focused choice: seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a 2,840-mm wheelbase give it a major practical edge over the five-seat Koleos with its 542-litre boot. It also costs RM5,600 less and its RM120 annual road tax is RM710 below the Koleos. Its 240 Nm arrives at 1,400 rpm, helping it reach 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds while returning a rated 7.0 L/100 km. The Koleos counters with a full-size spare, multi-link rear suspension and a longer 150,000-km warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, far more luggage room and lower annual running costs.
Pick the Renault Koleos if five seats suffice and you value its multi-link rear suspension, full-size spare and 150,000-km warranty.
