Verdict
At RM269,800, the GWM Wey G9 costs RM30,000 less and suits buyers who need plug-in-hybrid flexibility, all-wheel drive and a brisk 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 170 km EV range is useful, but the Zeekr 009’s 116 kWh battery and 604 km EV range make it the more convincing electric long-distance MPV. The Zeekr also brings 150 kW DC charging, 574 litres of boot space and air suspension, although it is rear-wheel drive and takes 7.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h.
Wey G9
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you want the lower RM269,800 entry price, petrol plug-in-hybrid backup, all-wheel drive and quicker 5.7-second acceleration.
009
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want 604 km of electric range, much faster 150 kW DC charging, a 574-litre boot and air suspension.
