Verdict
The RM299,000 Denza D9 costs RM29,200 more than the RM269,800 GWM Wey G9, but brings a 103.36-kWh battery, 520 km EV range and 166-kW DC charging against the G9’s 44.2-kWh pack, 170 km EV range and 60 kW. The G9 is the sharper straight-line choice at 5.7 seconds to 100 km/h, versus 9.5 seconds, and its RM120 annual road tax undercuts the D9’s RM335. For seven-seat family use, the D9’s 410-litre boot beats the G9’s 233 litres decisively.
D9
Pick the Denza D9 if you want the longer 520 km electric range, 166-kW DC charging and a much larger 410-litre boot.
Wey G9
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you want 5.7-second 0-100 km/h pace, all-wheel drive and the lower RM120 annual road tax.
