Honda CR-V vs Peugeot 5008
Verdict
The RM8,088 gap favours the Honda CR-V, and its safety sheet reads better: eight airbags and AEB, plus a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result. Its 589-litre boot is useful, but the Peugeot 5008 answers with seven seats, a 2,840 mm wheelbase and 952 litres of luggage room. The Peugeot also has more output, 165 hp and 240 Nm to 146 hp and 190 Nm, yet both SUVs do 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and both are rated at 7.0 L/100 km.
Pick the Honda CR-V if five seats are enough and your priority is the safety kit: eight airbags, AEB and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats and want the bigger 952-litre boot, longer 2,840 mm wheelbase and lower RM120 road tax.
