Omoda Jaecoo C9 vs Zeekr 7X
Verdict
At RM168,800, the Omoda Jaecoo C9 undercuts the RM179,800 Zeekr 7X by RM11,000 and gives you the bigger boot, a 660-litre load bay against 539 litres. The Zeekr hits back hard as an EV: 416 hp and 440 Nm from one rear motor, a 75 kWh LFP battery, 480 km range and 450 kW DC charging. The C9 is the safer conventional pick with a 2.0 litre turbo petrol, 65-litre tank and seven-year warranty; the 7X buys pace, charging tech and rear-seat kit.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C9 if you want the lower price, larger 660-litre boot, petrol refuelling and the longer seven-year manufacturer warranty.
Pick the Zeekr 7X if you want an EV with 416 hp, 480 km range, very high 450 kW DC charging capability and more rear-seat convenience.
