Verdict
These are very different answers to family transport. The Staria carries 10 people, has a 3,273 mm wheelbase and delivers 431 Nm from its 2.2-litre diesel, but its RM599 annual road tax and 12.4-second 0-100 km/h time ask for acceptance. The 3008 is a five-seat SUV with a larger 591-litre boot, reaches 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and costs RM120 a year in road tax. For Malaysian buyers carrying a full extended family, the Hyundai’s extra five seats are decisive; for five occupants, the Peugeot is easier to justify.
Pick the Hyundai Staria if you need 10 seats, a 75-litre tank and 431 Nm diesel torque for moving more people.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if five seats are enough and you want quicker 8.9-second acceleration, a 591-litre boot and lower annual road tax.
