Verdict
The RM69,290 gap separates two very different jobs. The GWM Wey G9 is the seven-seat MPV choice, with a 170-km EV range from its 44.2-kWh battery, 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time and 3,085-mm wheelbase. Its 233-litre boot is small, though. The Mazda CX-60 costs less, carries 570 litres behind five seats and uses 189 hp and 261 Nm, but its 9.6-second sprint and RM830 annual road tax make it the less relaxed proposition on paper for a large family load.
Wey G9
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you need seven seats, plug-in charging and a 170-km EV range, plus properly equipped second- and third-row passengers.
CX-60
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if five seats and a 570-litre boot suit your life better, and saving RM69,290 matters more than plug-in-hybrid capability.
