Verdict
For RM2,132 less, the Peugeot 308 T9 is the stronger new-versus-outgoing buy: it cuts rated consumption from 7.6 to 6.5 L/100 km and grows boot space from 420 to 470 litres, despite a smaller 53-litre tank. The older Peugeot 308 T7 Facelift counters with 156 hp, a 9.1-second 0-100 km/h time and a panoramic roof; the T9 has 150 hp and needs 9.4 seconds. Both retain the same 240 Nm, six-speed Aisin automatic, five seats and 17-inch tyres. Choose on priorities, not presumed mechanical reinvention.
Pick the Peugeot 308 T7 Facelift if the panoramic roof, 60-litre fuel tank and slightly quicker 9.1-second sprint matter more than lower quoted consumption and boot space.
Pick the Peugeot 308 T9 if you want to spend RM2,132 less for 6.5 L/100 km rated economy, a 470-litre boot and newer cabin convenience features.
