iCaur V23 vs Peugeot 2008
Verdict
The iCaur V23 is the cheaper and more EV-led choice at RM119,800, with a 59.9 kWh battery, 360 km range and a longer 7-year warranty. It is also wider, taller and longer in wheelbase than the Peugeot 2008, but the catch is real: four seats and only 234 litres of boot space. The Peugeot 2008 costs RM134,103, but it is the easier family fit with five seats, 405 litres of boot space, a 41-litre tank and 4.5 L/100 km fuel economy.
Pick the iCaur V23 if you want a cheaper electric B-SUV with 360 km range, rear-wheel drive and a 7-year warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 2008 if you need five seats, a bigger 405-litre boot and the convenience of a petrol B-SUV.
