Verdict
The Chery Omoda E5 costs RM12,697 more, but brings a 61 kWh battery, 430 km WLTP range and a 201 hp/340 Nm motor; its 7.2-second 0-100 km/h claim gives it a clear performance case. It is also roomier outside and better equipped for rear passengers, with rear air vents and a 360-degree camera. The Peugeot 2008 counters with a 405-litre boot, 4.5 L/100 km rated economy and a lower RM85 annual road tax. Pick based on charging access: the E5 is the more complete EV, while the 2008 remains the simpler petrol choice.
Pick the Chery Omoda E5 if you can charge regularly and want 430 km of WLTP range, 340 Nm and a longer 7-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 2008 if you want to spend RM12,697 less, carry more in its 405-litre boot and stay with petrol refuelling.
