Verdict
At RM169,388, the Peugeot 3008 costs RM10,488 more than the RM158,900 Suzuki Jimny, but it is the far more practical road-going SUV: five seats, five doors and a 591-litre boot against the Jimny’s four seats, three doors and 85 litres. Its 165 hp/240 Nm turbo petrol and six-speed auto also make a clear case over 100 hp/130 Nm and four speeds. The Jimny counters with all-wheel drive, low range and a shorter 3,480 mm body, so it is the specialist choice when compact dimensions and off-road hardware matter more than passenger and luggage room.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you need five-seat family usability, a 591-litre boot and stronger 165 hp performance for RM10,488 more.
Pick the Suzuki Jimny if all-wheel drive with low range, a 3,480 mm footprint and a full-size spare matter more than space and speed.
