Denza D9 vs Zeekr 009
Verdict
This is a very close price fight: the Denza D9 is only RM800 cheaper, so the decision is not really about monthly payment. The Zeekr 009 has the stronger EV numbers, with 335 hp, 7.9 seconds to 100 km/h, a 116.0 kWh battery and 604 km range. The Denza counters with eight airbags, a six-year warranty and a taller 1,920 mm body. For a Malaysian buyer, the Zeekr is the quicker, longer-legged MPV; the Denza is the slightly safer-on-paper and longer-warrantied buy.
Pick the Denza D9 if you want the longer six-year warranty, eight airbags and a taller seven-seat EV MPV for slightly less money.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want more power, quicker acceleration, longer range and a bigger boot for almost the same price.
