Verdict
At RM186,288, the Peugeot 5008 costs RM5,600 less than the Renault Koleos and its annual road tax is RM120 rather than RM830. It also gives a Malaysian family seven seats, a 952-litre boot and a 2,840-mm wheelbase, against five seats, 542 litres and 2,705 mm. The 5008’s 1.6-litre turbo makes 240 Nm, hits 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds and is rated at 7.0 L/100 km; the Koleos manages 226 Nm, 9.5 seconds and 8.1 L/100 km. Renault counters with 171 hp, a full-size spare and 150,000-km warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot, lower running costs and stronger 240-Nm turbo torque.
Pick the Renault Koleos if a 150,000-km warranty, full-size spare tyre and 171-hp naturally aspirated engine matter more than passenger and luggage capacity.
