Verdict
At RM368,690, the five-seat Denza Z9 GT costs RM63,890 more than the RM304,800 Zeekr 009, and its 1,140 hp, 1,210 Nm triple-motor AWD system turns that outlay into a 2.7-second 0-100 km/h car. The 009 is the more rational family machine: seven seats, a 3,205-mm wheelbase and 574-litre boot, against five seats, 3,125 mm and 495 litres. Its claimed 604-km range even edges the Denza’s 600 km, but the Z9 GT brings 1,000V hardware and a listed 1,500-kW DC rate versus 400V and 150 kW.
Z9 GT
Pick the Denza Z9 GT if 1,140 hp, AWD, a 2.7-second 0-100 km/h time and far higher listed DC charging capability matter more than seven-seat practicality.
009
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you need seven seats, captain’s chairs, a larger 574-litre boot and a RM63,890 lower purchase price.
