Verdict
These C-segment SUVs answer very different Malaysian needs. At RM158,800, the Zeekr X undercuts the RM186,288 Peugeot 5008 by RM27,488, yet its 335 PS motor and 5.3-second 0-100 km/h time are far ahead of the Peugeot’s 165 hp, 8.9-second run. Its 66 kWh battery is rated for 440 km, with 11 kW AC and 200 kW DC charging. But the Peugeot is the practical family choice: it has seven seats and a 952-litre boot against the Zeekr’s five seats and 404 litres. Its RM120 annual road tax also costs RM275 less.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if seven seats, a 952-litre boot and lower RM120 annual road tax matter more than outright performance and EV driving.
Pick the Zeekr X if you want the lower RM158,800 entry price, 440 km EV range, 335 PS performance and a fuller driver-assistance list.
