Verdict
The RM14,912-cheaper Hyundai Tucson is the more practical family buy: its 582-litre boot beats the Zeekr X’s 404 litres, and its 4,630 mm body is 198 mm longer. The Zeekr answers with a 335 hp, 373 Nm rear motor, 5.3-second 0-100 km/h time and 440 km EV range from its 66 kWh battery. It also gets 200 kW DC charging, adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera. Choose the Tucson for luggage space and longer vehicle warranty; choose the Zeekr if home or public charging suits your routine.
Pick the Hyundai Tucson if you need the larger 582-litre boot, a space-saver spare and 8-year/160,000 km vehicle warranty for RM14,912 less.
Pick the Zeekr X if you can charge an EV and want 335 hp, 440 km range, 200 kW DC charging and a far fuller driver-assistance kit.
