Verdict
At RM186,288, the Peugeot 5008 costs RM52,488 more than the RM133,800 Toyota Corolla Cross, but it brings seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a 2,840-mm wheelbase against five seats, 440 litres and 2,640 mm. Its 165 hp/240 Nm turbo engine also reaches 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. The Corolla Cross counters with autonomous braking, collision warning, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera, plus unlimited-mileage warranty cover. For a Malaysian family needing third-row seats, the 5008 earns its premium; for five occupants, the Toyota is the more safety-equipped spend.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if seven seats, a 952-litre boot and 165 hp matter more than the RM52,488 price gap.
Pick the Toyota Corolla Cross if five seats suffice and you want autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera for less money.
