Verdict
At RM269,800, the GWM Wey G9 undercuts the Xpeng X9 by RM11,273 and its RM120 annual road tax is RM245 lower. Its 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time and all-wheel drive favour the G9, while the petrol plug-in hybrid gives a 170 km EV range. The X9 is the better fit for regular electric travel: 535 km range, 537 kW DC charging and a 721-litre boot against 233 litres. It also gets air suspension and rear-axle steering, but costs more and takes RM365 yearly road tax.
Wey G9
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you want the lower upfront and annual road-tax cost, all-wheel drive and a much quicker 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time.
X9
Pick the Xpeng X9 if 535 km electric range, 537 kW DC charging and its 721-litre boot matter more than the higher price and road tax.
