Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the RM50,292 gap separates two very different jobs. The Foton Tunland costs less, brings 400 Nm, all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic, plus a seven-year/200,000 km warranty. But its 2,160 kg pickup body is 5,617 mm long and carries only driver and front-passenger airbags. The Peugeot 508 SW is the more passenger-focused choice: its 660-litre boot, six airbags, blind-spot monitoring and five-star Euro NCAP rating matter, though its 240 Nm petrol engine and front-wheel drive give away pulling force and traction hardware.
Pick the Foton Tunland if you need 400 Nm, all-wheel drive and a seven-year/200,000 km warranty for less money.
Pick the Peugeot 508 SW if you want a 660-litre wagon boot, six airbags and substantially richer passenger-car equipment.
