Denza D9 vs MG Cyberster
Verdict
At these prices, this is a lifestyle split more than a normal class fight: the Denza D9 is RM900 cheaper and gives you a seven-seat electric MPV with 520 km range, a 103.4 kWh battery and 410 litres of boot space. The MG Cyberster is the indulgence: two seats, a convertible body, rear-wheel drive and 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds. The D9 makes more sense for family use in Malaysia; the Cyberster is much quicker, but gives up space and practicality to get there.
Pick the Denza D9 if you need seven seats, a bigger 103.4 kWh battery and the easier daily practicality of an electric MPV.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want a two-seat electric convertible with rear-wheel drive and a much quicker 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time.
