Omoda Jaecoo J7 vs Zeekr X
Verdict
At RM138,800 versus RM158,800, the Omoda Jaecoo J7 asks RM20,000 less and gives you the larger body, a 412-litre boot and a seven-year warranty. The Zeekr X is the quicker, cleaner-feeling choice on paper: its single motor makes 335 hp and cuts 0-100 km/h to 5.3 seconds, with a 66.0 kWh battery and 440 km EV range. But it is smaller outside, has a slightly smaller boot and costs more in annual road tax.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo J7 if you want the cheaper C-segment SUV with petrol refuelling, more body height and the longer warranty.
Pick the Zeekr X if you can live with EV charging and want far stronger acceleration from a rear-wheel-drive single-motor SUV.
