Verdict
The Zeekr 009 makes the stronger case for most Malaysian executive-MPV buyers: at RM304,800, it undercuts the EQV by RM145,550 while bringing a 116-kWh battery, 604 km range and 150-kW DC charging, against 90 kWh, 374 km and 110 kW. Its 335-hp motor also cuts 0-100 km/h to 7.9 seconds versus 12.1 seconds. The EQV remains the choice for a 610-litre boot, 69-mm shorter body and 200,000-km vehicle warranty, but its price is difficult to justify on these numbers.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQV if you need the larger 610-litre boot, a narrower 1,928-mm body and 200,000 km of vehicle warranty coverage.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want far more range and performance for RM145,550 less, plus air suspension and richer rear-seat equipment.
