Chery O5 vs Peugeot 2008
Verdict
The Chery O5 asks RM116,800 against the Peugeot 2008’s RM134,103, so the RM17,303 saving is not small. It also gives you more output, at 145 hp versus 128 hp, the same 230 Nm, a larger body and a longer seven-year warranty. The Peugeot fights back with a 405-litre boot versus 378 litres, quoted 4.5 L/100 km economy and lower RM85 road tax. Both are CKD, five-seat, front-driven B-segment petrol SUVs with six airbags and AEB, so this is a practical versus price call rather than a safety mismatch.
Pick the Chery O5 if you want the cheaper car with 17 hp more, the same 230 Nm and the longer seven-year warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 2008 if you value the larger 405-litre boot, quoted 4.5 L/100 km economy and a lower RM85 annual road tax bill.
