Verdict
At RM269,800 versus RM269,888, these seven-seat MPVs are separated by just RM88 but suit very different Malaysian use. The MIFA 9 is the cleaner long-distance EV choice, with a 435 km claimed range, 120 kW DC charging and a vast 1,010-litre boot. The Wey G9 counters with AWD, a 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time and 170 km EV range backed by its plug-in hybrid system. Its second-row massage and ventilation, head-up display and auto parking also make it the more lavishly equipped family shuttle.
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you want AWD, far stronger 5.7-second performance and richer rear-seat comfort without relying solely on public charging.
Pick the Maxus MIFA 9 if you want a full EV with 435 km range, 120 kW DC charging and 1,010 litres of boot space.
