Verdict
The Omoda Jaecoo C9 is the larger, more practical petrol choice, with a 660-litre boot against the Xpeng G6’s 571 litres, plus a head-up display and two wireless chargers. But it costs RM8,852 more and its RM439 annual road tax is RM199 higher. The G6’s 68.5-kWh battery brings a claimed 480 km range, 382-kW DC charging and 440 Nm, making it the sharper proposition for a Malaysian buyer with dependable charging. Its 2,890-mm wheelbase is also 90 mm longer despite a 17-mm shorter body.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C9 if you need the 660-litre boot, 20-inch wheels, head-up display and petrol refuelling convenience.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you can charge regularly and want 480 km of claimed EV range, 382-kW DC charging and lower annual road tax.
