Verdict
The RM49,290 premium for the GWM Wey G9 buys a very different family tool: seven seats, power sliding doors and a 3,085 mm wheelbase, plus a 358 PS/782 Nm hybrid system that reaches 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. The Mazda CX-60 is RM200,510, seats five and has a far bigger 570-litre boot against the G9’s 233 litres. Its 189 hp, 261 Nm petrol drivetrain is slower at 9.6 seconds, but the CX-60 costs less to buy and gives the driver 20-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights and a seventh airbag.
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you need seven seats, power sliding doors and much stronger 358 PS/782 Nm hybrid performance.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if five seats and a 570-litre boot suit your needs, and you would rather save RM49,290.
