Hyundai Tucson vs Zeekr X
Verdict
The Tucson is the bigger, cheaper family SUV: RM143,888 buys a 4,630 mm body and 582-litre boot, versus the Zeekr X at RM158,800 with 4,432 mm and 404 litres. The Zeekr answers with EV pace, using a 335 hp single motor, rear-wheel drive and a 5.3-second 0-100 km/h time; the Tucson’s 2.0-litre petrol makes 154 hp and 192 Nm. For Malaysian buyers, this is space and longer warranty against quicker EV running.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you want the larger boot, longer warranty and a 2.0-litre petrol drivetrain with a conventional automatic.
Pick the Zeekr X if you want a quicker electric SUV with 335 hp, rear-wheel drive and a 440 km claimed EV range.
