Verdict
These are radically different RM300k EVs. The Denza D9 asks RM900 less, yet brings seven seats, a 410-litre boot and a 103.36-kWh battery rated for 520 km, so it is the practical choice for Malaysian family trips and airport runs. Its 9.5-second 0-100 km/h time is unhurried. The two-seat MG Cyberster trades utility for a 5.0-second sprint, rear-wheel drive and 475 Nm, but its 249-litre boot and 508-km range make it a far narrower proposition. The D9 also charges faster at 11 kW AC and 166 kW DC.
Pick the Denza D9 if you need seven seats, 410 litres of luggage space and faster 11 kW AC/166 kW DC charging.
Pick the MG Cyberster if a two-seat rear-wheel-drive convertible with a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time matters more than passenger and cargo capacity.
