Verdict
At RM269,800, the GWM Wey G9 costs RM190,000 more than the RM79,800 Nissan NV200, but they serve very different jobs. The G9 is a seven-seat executive MPV with a 44.2-kWh plug-in-hybrid battery, 170 km EV range and 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 3,085-mm wheelbase and six airbags suit passenger carrying. The two-seat NV200 is the workhorse: its 4,200-litre load bay dwarfs the G9’s 233 litres, while its 1,220-kg kerb weight is 1,583 kg lower. Choose by mission, not badge or body style.
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you need seven seats, 170 km of EV range and extensive passenger comfort and safety equipment.
Pick the Nissan NV200 if a 4,200-litre cargo area and far lower purchase price matter more than passenger capacity and equipment.
