Verdict
The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe costs RM173,800 to the Peugeot 3008’s RM169,388, so the Peugeot saves RM4,412 while bringing a far larger 591-litre boot and a 2,730-mm wheelbase. The BMW counters with 8.6-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, 230 km/h top speed and multi-link rear suspension; the Peugeot records 8.9 seconds, 205 km/h and a torsion-beam rear end. For a Malaysian buyer carrying family luggage, the Peugeot is the more practical choice, and its five-year/100,000-km warranty is reassuring. Pick the BMW for the sharper performance brief and unlimited-km warranty coverage.
Pick the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe if you want the quicker 8.6-second sprint, 230 km/h top speed and multi-link rear suspension in a sedan.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you need its 591-litre boot, 2,730-mm wheelbase, blind-spot monitoring and steering-correction lane assistance.
