Verdict
These C-segment SUVs ask different questions. The RM169,388 Peugeot 3008 is the petrol choice, with a 165 hp/240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo, 591-litre boot and RM120 annual road tax. At RM9,440 less, the Xpeng G6 brings 248 hp, 440 Nm, a 68.5-kWh battery and 480 km EV range, while cutting the 0-100 km/h time to 6.94 seconds. For a Malaysian buyer able to charge regularly, the G6’s 382-kW DC charging, 2,890-mm wheelbase, autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control make it the sharper buy. Choose the Peugeot for its extra 20 litres of boot space and 53-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if a 591-litre boot, RM120 road tax and a 53-litre petrol tank suit your use better than EV charging.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you can charge regularly and want 248 hp, 480 km EV range and a lower entry price.
