Verdict
The RM186,288 Peugeot 5008 is RM4,372 cheaper, yet its 165 hp/240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo reaches 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, 0.7 seconds ahead of the Tayron’s 148 hp/250 Nm 1.5-litre 48-volt mild-hybrid. It is also 122 mm shorter but has a 2,840 mm wheelbase and a claimed 952-litre boot, against 345 litres in the Volkswagen. The RM190,660 Tayron counters with a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking and notably richer front-seat comfort. For Malaysian families carrying luggage, the Peugeot makes the stronger practical case; the Tayron is the more heavily equipped choice.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you want the lower RM186,288 price, quicker 8.9-second sprint, 952-litre boot and five-year/100,000-km warranty.
Pick the Volkswagen Tayron if you want adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, a 360-degree camera and ventilated massaging front seats.
