Zeekr 7X

Verdict

These Zeekrs answer very different Malaysian needs. The RM304,800 009 is the seven-seat MPV for buyers who will use its 3,205 mm wheelbase, captain’s chairs and 604 km range; its 574-litre boot also remains larger than the 7X’s. The 7X costs RM122,000 less, yet has 416 hp, a 6.0-second century sprint and 450 kW DC charging against 150 kW. Its 800V system makes it the more convincing daily EV if five seats suffice. The 009 pays back with space, rear-seat amenities and air suspension, not outright pace.

009

Pick the Zeekr 009 if you need seven seats, a 604 km EV range and properly indulgent middle-row captain’s chairs.

7X

Pick the Zeekr 7X if you want the RM122,000 saving, quicker 450 kW DC charging and stronger performance in a smaller five-seat SUV.
