Verdict
The Peugeot 5008 is the more rational family buy: it costs RM14,222 less at RM186,288, carries seven people and lists 952 litres of boot space against the Mazda CX-60’s five seats and 570 litres. It is also quicker to 100 km/h, at 8.9 seconds versus 9.6 seconds, despite its smaller 1.6-litre turbo. The CX-60 answers with 189 hp, 261 Nm, rear-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic and more complete driver assistance, including autonomous braking. Its RM830 annual road tax, against RM120, is a meaningful running-cost penalty in Malaysia.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if autonomous braking, collision warning, rear-wheel drive and the 12-speaker Bose system matter more than seven seats and lower annual road tax.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, 952 litres of boot space, an 8.9-second 0-100 km/h time and RM120 annual road tax for RM14,222 less.
