Verdict
At RM269,800 versus RM79,800, this is not a normal MPV fight. The GWM Wey G9 is the family and chauffeur choice: seven seats, a 1.5 litre turbo plug-in hybrid system with two motors, 170 km EV range, AWD and a 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time. The Nissan NV200 is a commercial tool with two seats, a 5-speed manual and a huge 4,200-litre cargo area. For a Malaysian buyer, the question is passenger comfort and tech, or load space and low entry cost.
Wey G9
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you need seven seats, plug-in hybrid driving, AWD and the full safety and comfort kit.
NV200
Pick the Nissan NV200 if your priority is cargo volume, a much lower purchase price and simple commercial transport.
