Verdict
At RM186,288, the Peugeot 5008 costs RM33,712 less than the RM220,000 Toyota bZ4X and seats seven rather than five, with a 952-litre boot against 452 litres. That is a major practical edge for Malaysian families. The bZ4X counters with a 224 hp, 269 Nm electric motor, a 73.1 kWh battery rated for 525 km, and a 7.4-second 0-100 km/h time versus 8.9 seconds. It also adds pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. The Peugeot's RM120 annual road tax is RM80 lower.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a RM33,712 lower purchase price.
Pick the Toyota bZ4X if five seats are enough and you want 224 hp EV performance, 525 km rated range and stronger driver assistance.
