Verdict
At RM178,200, the five-seat Honda CR-V is RM8,088 cheaper than the seven-seat Peugeot 5008. The Honda’s two-motor hybrid system, Honda Sensing autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control suit buyers who put driver assistance first, while its 57-litre tank is four litres larger. But the 5008 answers the family brief more directly: it has seven seats, a 2,840 mm wheelbase and 952 litres of boot space versus 589 litres. Both claim 8.9 seconds to 100 km/h and 7 L/100 km, so economy and straight-line acceleration do not split them.
Pick the Honda CR-V if you want the lower RM178,200 entry price, hybrid hardware and Honda Sensing autonomous braking with adaptive cruise control.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, 952 litres of boot space and a 2,840 mm wheelbase.
