Hyundai Staria vs Peugeot 3008
Verdict
At RM179,888, the Hyundai Staria is RM10,500 above the RM169,388 Peugeot 3008, but it buys a very different job scope: 10 seats, a 3,273 mm wheelbase, 431 Nm diesel torque and an 8-speed auto. The Peugeot is the quicker, tidier C-SUV on paper, with 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds versus 12.4, a 591-litre boot versus 430 litres, and far lower RM120 road tax against RM599. For Malaysia, this is mainly people-carrying capacity versus daily-use convenience and equipment.
Pick the Hyundai Staria if you need 10 seats, diesel torque and the longer 8-year/160,000 km warranty more than speed or SUV equipment.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you want a faster five-seat SUV with a bigger boot, lower road tax and more driver-assist and cabin convenience kit.
