Verdict
At RM186,288, the Peugeot 5008 costs RM17,288 more than the RM169,000 smart #1, but it answers a different family brief: seven seats and a 952-litre boot against five seats and 411 litres. The smart is the quicker, lower-priced choice, its 268 hp/343 Nm rear motor reaching 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds versus 8.9 seconds for the 5008’s 165 hp/240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo. It also brings a 49 kWh battery, 315 km range and 150 kW DC charging. The Peugeot counters with CKD assembly, RM120 annual road tax and much greater passenger capacity.
5008
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if seven seats, a 952-litre boot and lower RM120 annual road tax matter more than EV performance and charging.
#1
Pick the smart #1 if you want the RM17,288 cheaper EV with 268 hp, 315 km range, 150 kW DC charging and stronger driver-assistance kit.
