Verdict
The Peugeot 3008 costs RM169,388, a substantial RM50,612 below the Toyota bZ4X’s RM220,000, and brings the larger 591-litre boot for family luggage. Its 165 hp, 240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo petrol is slower to 100 km/h at 8.9 seconds and uses 7 L/100 km. The bZ4X answers with a 224 hp, 269 Nm motor, 73.1 kWh battery and claimed 525 km range, cutting the sprint to 7.4 seconds. For Malaysian buyers able to charge, the Toyota’s safety and driver-assistance kit is markedly fuller; the Peugeot is the lower-cost, more luggage-friendly choice.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you want to save RM50,612, carry more in its 591-litre boot and prefer a petrol SUV with a 53-litre tank.
Pick the Toyota bZ4X if you can charge an EV and want 525 km claimed range, a 7.4-second 0-100 km/h time and adaptive cruise with pre-collision braking.
