Verdict
The Jetour T2 brings the stronger hand for the Malaysian buyer who wants muscle and rough-road hardware: 241 hp, 375 Nm and all-wheel drive versus the Peugeot 5008’s 165 hp, 240 Nm and front-wheel drive. But the Peugeot is the proper people carrier, with seven seats, a 2,840-mm wheelbase and 952 litres of luggage space against five seats, 2,800 mm and 580 litres. The T2 is also 115 mm longer, 151 mm wider and 225 mm taller, so its 70-litre tank and 19-inch tyres come with a RM439 annual road tax, versus RM120 for the 5008.
Pick the Jetour T2 if you want 241 hp, 375 Nm, all-wheel drive, adaptive cruise control and the longer seven-year/150,000-km warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if carrying seven people and using its 952-litre luggage capacity matter more than the T2’s power and all-wheel drive.
