Hyundai Staria vs Peugeot 5008
Verdict
At RM179,888, the Staria is the people-mover: 10 seats, a 3,273 mm wheelbase, 431 Nm diesel torque and a 75-litre tank, wrapped in a huge 5,253 mm MPV body. The 5008 costs RM6,400 more at RM186,288, but drives the spec fight from the other side: 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds versus 12.4, 205 km/h versus 185, and 952 litres of boot space versus 430. For a Malaysian family, this is headcount and warranty against pace, kit and easier SUV sizing.
Staria
Pick the Hyundai Staria if you need 10 seats, a bigger diesel torque figure and a longer 8-year/160,000 km warranty.
5008
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you want the quicker car with more listed cabin tech, a larger quoted boot and a smaller SUV footprint.
