Verdict
The Zeekr 7X AWD Performance is the rational pick at RM230,800, because the RM4,200 saving does not cost you any pace, range or charging ability. Both use two motors producing 637 hp and 710 Nm, reach 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, and pair a 100 kWh battery with 543 km of range. Both also get air suspension, 22 kW AC and 420 kW DC charging. The Black Nova’s identifiable extra is its black 20-inch alloys. Unless that finish matters to you, keep the cash.

Black Nova
