Verdict
At RM269,888 against RM304,800, the Maxus MIFA 9 saves a Malaysian family RM34,912 and brings a far larger 1,010-litre boot. But the Zeekr 009 justifies its higher ask with 604 km of range versus 435 km, a 150 kW DC rate, 335 hp and four-chamber air suspension. The MIFA 9 is the rational seven-seat load carrier; the 009 is the stronger long-distance and second-row luxury choice, despite its 574-litre boot and higher RM395 annual road tax.
Pick the Maxus MIFA 9 if you want to spend RM34,912 less and need its 1,010-litre boot for family luggage.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you prioritise 604 km range, quicker performance and ventilated, massaging captain’s chairs.
