Verdict
The Peugeot 5008 costs RM186,288 against the Xpeng G6 at RM159,948, so the EV is RM26,340 cheaper yet quicker, with 248 hp, 440 Nm and a 6.94-second 0-100 km/h time. The Peugeot answers with the family-car basics the Xpeng cannot match: seven seats, 952 litres of boot space and ISOFIX on three middle-row seats. For a Malaysian buyer, this is less about SUV size and more about use case: people and luggage in the 5008, pace and EV hardware in the G6.
5008
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a bigger 952-litre boot and petrol convenience in a C-segment SUV.
G6
Pick the Xpeng G6 if five seats are enough and you want the cheaper, quicker EV with 525 km of range.
