Verdict
At RM160,000, the Omoda Jaecoo C7 costs RM1,200 more than the Zeekr X, yet its annual road tax is RM275 lower at RM120. The Zeekr is the stronger, more technology-heavy choice: its rear motor makes 335 hp and 373 Nm, and the 66-kWh battery is rated for 440 km. It also brings 200-kW DC charging, seven airbags and a longer 2,750-mm wheelbase. The C7 counters with a 189-mm longer body, CKD assembly and petrol power for buyers not planning around charging.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C7 if lower RM120 annual road tax, Malaysian CKD assembly and its longer 4,621-mm body matter more than EV hardware.
Pick the Zeekr X if you want 335 hp, a 440-km EV range rating, 200-kW DC charging and the more extensive listed safety and convenience equipment.
