Maxus V80 vs Renault Captur
Verdict
These two serve very different jobs despite a RM5,904 price gap: the RM102,076 Maxus V80 is a 5,700 mm-long, two-seat diesel commercial vehicle with 330 Nm and an 80-litre tank, while the RM107,980 Renault Captur is a five-seat B-segment petrol SUV with a dual-clutch automatic. The Renault is easier on running costs on paper, using 5.9 L/100 km with RM85 annual road tax; the Maxus uses 9.1 L/100 km and costs RM839 a year to tax.
Pick the Maxus V80 if you need a two-seat commercial diesel with 330 Nm, an 80-litre tank and a 3,850 mm wheelbase.
Pick the Renault Captur if you need five seats, an automatic gearbox, lower stated fuel use and a longer five-year warranty.
