Verdict
At RM228,888, the Maxus eTerron 9 costs RM83,000 more than the RM145,888 Terron 9, but it brings 435 hp, 700 Nm and a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time against 219 hp, 520 Nm and 10.9 seconds. That is a serious performance gap. The diesel counters with 850 kg payload capacity, 200 kg more than the EV, plus a larger 1,600 x 1,600 mm cargo bed. For a Malaysian buyer with dependable charging, the eTerron’s 430 km range and 6.6 kW V2L add real usability; hard-working load duty favours the Terron 9.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if 435 hp, 700 Nm, 430 km EV range and 6.6 kW V2L matter more than an RM83,000 saving and maximum payload.
Pick the Maxus Terron 9 if you need the 850 kg payload and larger cargo bed while keeping RM83,000 in your pocket.
