Verdict
The Zeekr 009 asks RM34,912 more, but brings 335 hp, a 604-km range and 150-kW DC charging against the Maxus MIFA 9’s 241 hp, 435 km and 120 kW. It is the stronger long-distance family EV, and its air suspension, captain’s chairs and 30-speaker audio justify much of the step up. But the MIFA 9 has a far larger 1,010-litre boot versus 574 litres, costs less to tax at RM220 a year against RM395, and remains the sensible choice for seven people plus luggage.
Pick the Maxus MIFA 9 if a 1,010-litre boot, lower RM220 annual road tax and a RM34,912 saving matter more than outright range and luxury equipment.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want 604 km of range, 335 hp, 150-kW DC charging and properly lavish second-row captain’s chairs.
