Verdict
The Hyundai Tucson costs RM143,888 to the Peugeot 5008’s RM186,288, so the RM42,400 gap is substantial. The 5008 answers with seven seats, a 952-litre boot, 165 hp and 240 Nm versus the Tucson’s five seats, 582 litres, 154 hp and 192 Nm. It is also 85 mm longer on a 2,840-mm wheelbase. But the Tucson has a far lower RM440 annual road tax against RM120? No: the Peugeot is RM120, while the Tucson is RM440, and Hyundai backs its SUV for eight years/160,000 km rather than five years/100,000 km. The Peugeot is the more practical and better-equipped choice; the Tucson is the cheaper long-warranty route.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you want to save RM42,400 and keep the longer eight-year/160,000-km manufacturer warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and its stronger 165-hp, 240-Nm turbocharged petrol powertrain.
