Verdict
At RM166,800 against the Xpeng G6’s RM159,948, the seven-seat Tiggo 9 costs RM6,852 more but brings AWD, a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and a 448-2,065-litre boot. Its 65-litre tank also suits buyers who need quick refuelling beyond charging coverage. The G6 is the sharper electric choice: its 248-hp rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 6.94 seconds, its 68.5-kWh battery is rated for 480 km, and 382-kW DC charging is a serious advantage. The Tiggo 9 wins for family capacity; the G6 for EV running and pace.
