Omoda Jaecoo J8 vs Peugeot 3008
Verdict
At RM178,800 versus RM169,388, the Omoda Jaecoo J8 asks RM9,412 more and gives the Malaysian buyer a much larger D-segment SUV, a 2.0 litre turbo with 246 hp/385 Nm, more driver assistance and a 7-year/150,000 km warranty. The Peugeot 3008 is smaller but not slower, doing 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds against 9.0 seconds, with a far bigger 591-litre boot, RM120 road tax and a listed 7 L/100 km economy figure.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J8 if you want the bigger SUV with stronger engine outputs, more active safety kit and the longer warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if boot space, lower annual road tax and a slightly lower purchase price matter more than outright engine numbers.
