Verdict
At RM299,000, the Denza D9 costs RM900 less than the MG Cyberster and suits the Malaysian buyer needing seven seats, a 410-litre boot and 520 km of range. Its 103.36-kWh battery, 11-kW AC and 166-kW DC charging beat the Cyberster’s 77 kWh, 7 kW and 144 kW. Annual road tax is also RM335 against RM395. But the MG delivers 338 hp, 475 Nm and a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time, far ahead of the D9’s 308 hp, 360 Nm and 9.5 seconds.
Pick the Denza D9 if you need seven seats, a 410-litre boot, longer 520-km range and faster AC/DC charging.
Pick the MG Cyberster if a two-seat convertible with rear-wheel drive and a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time is your priority.
