Verdict
The RM186,288 Peugeot 5008 costs RM26,340 more than the RM159,948 Xpeng G6, but it serves a different Malaysian family brief with seven seats, 952 litres of boot space and ISOFIX on all three middle-row seats. The G6 is far stronger on paper: its 248 hp, 440 Nm rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 6.94 seconds, versus 8.9 seconds for the 5008’s 165 hp petrol turbo. Its 68.5 kWh battery claims 480 km of range and accepts up to 382 kW DC charging, but it has only five seats and annual road tax is RM240 against RM120.
Pick the Peugeot 5008 if you need seven seats, a 952-litre boot and three middle-row ISOFIX positions.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want lower upfront cost, 248 hp and 440 Nm performance, plus a 480 km claimed EV range.
