Verdict
The Maxus eTerron 9 costs RM228,888, RM20,000 below the RM248,888 Ford Ranger Raptor, yet its two motors deliver 435 hp and 700 Nm for a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 102.2 kWh battery also gives a quoted 430 km range, plus 6.6 kW V2L. The Raptor counters with a lighter 2,430 kg kerb weight, BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres, Fox adaptive dampers, a locking rear differential and dedicated Baja mode. For Malaysian buyers who need electric running and a 650 kg payload, the Maxus has the stronger paper case; keen off-road drivers should take the Ford.
Pick the Ford Ranger Raptor if you want its Fox adaptive dampers, locking rear differential, Baja mode and 285/70R17 BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you want 435 hp, 700 Nm, a quoted 430 km EV range and a 650 kg payload for RM20,000 less.
