Honda e:N1 vs Peugeot 2008
Verdict
These are both B-segment, five-seat, front-drive SUVs, but they solve the brief very differently. The Honda e:N1 costs RM149,900, RM15,797 more than the Peugeot 2008, and trades petrol stops for a 201 hp electric motor and 410 km of stated range. It is quicker on paper too, with a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time. The Peugeot counters with a 405-litre boot against 344 litres, a 199 km/h top speed versus 160 km/h, and 4.5 L/100 km from its 1.2-litre petrol engine. Safety is level: six airbags and AEB each.
Pick the Honda e:N1 if you want an electric B-SUV with 201 hp, 410 km range and the longer 8-year warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 2008 if you want the lower RM134,103 price, petrol refuelling and the larger 405-litre boot.
