Verdict
The RM26,340 cheaper Xpeng G6 brings a 248 hp, 440 Nm rear motor, 480 km EV range and 382 kW DC charging, against the Peugeot 5008’s 165 hp, 240 Nm 1.6-litre turbo petrol setup. It is also markedly quicker to 100 km/h at 6.94 seconds versus 8.9 seconds. For a Malaysian family needing seven seats, though, the 5008’s third row and 952-litre boot are decisive advantages over the G6’s five seats and 571 litres. The trade-off is RM240 annual road tax for the G6, double the Peugeot’s RM120.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if seven seats, a 952-litre boot and three ISOFIX positions across the middle row matter more than acceleration and EV charging.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want to spend RM26,340 less for 248 hp, 440 Nm, 480 km of EV range and 382 kW DC charging.
