Verdict
The Peugeot 308 T9 is the sharper new-versus-outgoing buy on paper: it costs RM2,132 less at RM116,412, uses 6.5 L/100 km against 7.6, and opens up a 470-litre boot, 50 litres more than the T7 Facelift. It also brings hill start assist, an electronic parking brake and a 9.7-inch touchscreen. The outgoing T7 Facelift counters with 156 hp, a 9.1-second century sprint, a panoramic roof and rear air-con vents. Choose it if those cabin extras and the 0.3-second advantage matter more than luggage space and fuel use.
Pick the Peugeot 308 T7 Facelift if you want the quicker 156 hp hatchback with a panoramic roof, rear vents and a 60-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Peugeot 308 T9 if you want the cheaper car with 6.5 L/100 km consumption, a 470-litre boot and newer convenience equipment.
