Verdict
At RM169,388, the Peugeot 3008 is only RM388 dearer than the RM169,000 smart #1, so this is a choice of use case rather than budget. The #1’s 268 hp and 343 Nm motor cuts 0-100 km/h to 6.7 seconds, 2.2 seconds ahead of the 3008, and its 49 kWh battery is rated for 315 km. Yet the Peugeot brings a much larger 591-litre boot, 180 litres more than the smart, plus lower RM120 annual road tax. Pick the #1 for EV performance and driver assistance; pick the 3008 for luggage capacity and petrol-trip familiarity.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you need the 591-litre boot, prefer petrol power and want RM120 annual road tax.
Pick the smart #1 if you can charge regularly and want 268 hp, a 315 km EV range and broader active-safety hardware.
