Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer choosing used, the facelift is the clear paper upgrade despite costing RM174,092 against the Mk1’s RM175,088: it adds 7 hp, blind-spot monitoring, a reverse camera and adaptive LED headlamps, while keeping the same 9.2-second 0-100 km/h time, 7.1 L/100 km rating and 660-litre boot. The Mk1 is 92 mm wider, which may appeal if that listed dimension is a priority, but its missing camera and blind-spot system matter more in daily traffic. Check the individual car’s equipment and condition carefully.
Pick the Peugeot 508 SW Mk1 if the 1,920 mm listed width matters more to you than a reverse camera, blind-spot monitoring and newer lighting.
Pick the Peugeot 508 SW Mk1 Facelift if you want 163 hp, adaptive LED projectors, blind-spot monitoring and a reverse camera for RM996 less.
