Verdict
At RM158,800 versus RM175,800, the Zeekr X Flagship asks RM17,000 more than the Premium. The money mainly buys a second motor, all-wheel drive, 489 hp and 573 Nm, cutting 0-100 km/h from 5.3 seconds to 3.7 seconds. It also adds front-seat massage and 22 kW AC charging. But the Premium already has the same 66 kWh battery, 404-litre boot, major safety kit and 13-speaker Yamaha audio, while its 200 kW DC rate is higher. For many Malaysian buyers, the cheaper car is the sensible one.
Pick the Zeekr X Premium if you want the core Zeekr X cabin, safety kit and 66 kWh battery with lower outlay and quicker-rated DC charging.
Pick the Zeekr X Flagship if you want the full-performance version with dual motors, all-wheel drive, 3.7-second acceleration and front-seat massage.
