Verdict

The GWM Wey G9 costs RM35,000 less and is the quicker MPV, reaching 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds versus the Zeekr 009’s 7.9 seconds, while its AWD drivetrain should appeal to buyers who want traction from its hybrid system. But the Zeekr makes the stronger case for EV-led family travel: its 116 kWh battery claims 604 km against 170 km, DC charging is 150 kW versus 60 kW, and its 574-litre boot is 341 litres larger. The Wey suits buyers retaining petrol backup; the Zeekr suits those with dependable charging access.

Wey G9

Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you want a RM35,000 lower entry price, AWD and petrol plug-in hybrid backup for journeys beyond its 170 km EV range.

009

Pick the Zeekr 009 if you can charge regularly and want 604 km of claimed EV range, 150 kW DC charging and a much larger 574-litre boot.
