Peugeot 5008 vs Volkswagen Tayron
Verdict
The Peugeot 5008 is RM4,372 cheaper and, on paper, the more practical mover: 165 hp, 8.9 seconds to 100 km/h, a 2,840 mm wheelbase and 952 litres of boot space. The Volkswagen Tayron asks RM190,660, but the extra money buys the 48-volt mild-hybrid engine, 250 Nm, a 7-speed wet DSG, multi-link rear suspension, AEB, adaptive cruise, 360-degree camera and richer front seats. For a Malaysian buyer, this is space and speed versus safety tech and cabin equipment.
5008
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you want the cheaper, quicker seven-seat SUV with the bigger boot and panoramic sunroof.
Tayron
Pick the Volkswagen Tayron if you want the stronger safety kit, adaptive cruise, 360-degree camera, plusher front seats and more sophisticated rear suspension.
