Verdict
The RM17,000 step from the Zeekr X Premium to the Zeekr X Flagship buys a second motor, all-wheel drive and a major 0-100 km/h cut from 5.3 to 3.7 seconds. It also adds front-seat massage, 20-inch forged wheels and 22 kW AC charging. But the Flagship’s DC rate falls from 200 to 150 kW, while its 445 km range is only 5 km ahead of the Premium’s 440 km. For most Malaysian buyers, the Premium is the more rational choice; choose the Flagship for its 489 hp pace and AWD traction.
Pick the Zeekr X Premium if you want 335 hp, 200 kW DC charging and the lower RM395 annual road tax.
Pick the Zeekr X Flagship if you want 489 hp, all-wheel drive, a 3.7-second 0-100 km/h time and massaging front seats.
