Verdict
The Honda CR-V asks an RM8,812 premium, but gives Malaysian families eight airbags, Honda Sensing autonomous braking and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty. Its 589-litre boot is just 2 litres shy of the Peugeot 3008’s 591 litres, while its rear seats slide and recline. The 3008 counters with 165 hp and 240 Nm against 146 hp and 190 Nm, plus a panoramic roof and lower RM120 annual road tax. Both reach 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and return a rated 7 L/100 km.
Pick the Honda CR-V if autonomous braking, eight airbags, a rear multi-link suspension and unlimited-mileage warranty cover matter more than a lower purchase price.
Pick the Peugeot 3008 if you want 240 Nm from 1,400 rpm, a panoramic roof and RM317 less annual road tax for less upfront outlay.
