Verdict
The GWM Wey G9 is the family-first choice: it brings seven seats, power sliding doors and a 3,085 mm wheelbase, plus a 170 km EV range backed by a 58-litre petrol tank. But its RM269,800 price is RM90,000 above the Zeekr 7X. The Zeekr costs less, travels 480 km on its 75 kWh battery and can DC charge at 450 kW versus 60 kW, while its 539-litre boot beats the G9’s 233 litres. Choose the G9 for people-moving; choose the 7X for electric range and lower annual road tax is not its advantage, at RM615 versus RM120.
Wey G9
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if seven seats, power sliding doors, all-wheel drive and a petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain matter more than outright EV range.
7X
Pick the Zeekr 7X if you want a five-seat EV with 480 km of range, 450 kW DC charging and RM90,000 left in your pocket.
