Verdict
The Peugeot 5008 is the more rational Malaysian family buy: RM63,712 less buys seven seats, a 952-litre boot, a longer 2,840-mm wheelbase and lower RM120 annual road tax. Its 1.6-litre turbo makes 165 hp and 240 Nm, though, so the 2.0-litre GWM Tank 300 answers with a substantial 217 hp, 380 Nm and all-wheel drive. The Tank also gets autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera and ventilated massage front seats. Choose it for those extra mechanical and safety aids; choose the Peugeot for people-carrying practicality.
Pick the GWM Tank 300 if 217 hp, 380 Nm, all-wheel drive and autonomous braking matter more than seven seats and a lower purchase price.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a RM63,712 saving over the Tank 300.
