Verdict
At RM169,388, the Peugeot 3008 is just RM388 dearer than the RM169,000 smart #1, yet they suit very different Malaysian routines. The Peugeot brings a 591-litre boot, 53-litre petrol tank and 205 km/h top speed, favouring long trips and bulky family loads. The smart answers with 268 hp, 343 Nm and a 6.7-second century sprint, plus a 49 kWh battery rated for 315 km. Its 150 kW DC charging, 3.3 kW V2L and stronger active-safety kit make it the more modern choice if charging works for you.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you need the much larger 591-litre boot and petrol refuelling flexibility for regular outstation travel.
Pick the smart #1 if you can charge conveniently and want 268 hp, a 315 km EV range and adaptive cruise control with Highway & Traffic Jam Assist.
