Honda CR-V vs Peugeot 3008
Verdict
At RM178,200, the Honda CR-V costs RM8,812 more than the RM169,388 Peugeot 3008, and the money mainly buys size, a petrol-hybrid setup, eight airbags, AEB and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The Peugeot counters with 165 hp and 240 Nm against the Honda’s 146 hp and 190 Nm, yet both do 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and both use 7.0 L/100 km. The 3008 is slightly longer in wheelbase and boot space, so this is closer than the badges suggest.
Pick the Honda CR-V if you want the bigger-bodied SUV, hybrid driveline, more airbags and the reassurance of a five-star ASEAN NCAP result.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you want the lower price, stronger engine outputs and a slightly bigger boot without giving up 0-100 km/h performance.
