Verdict
At RM269,888, the Maxus MIFA 9 undercuts the RM304,800 Zeekr 009 by RM34,912 and brings 1,010 litres of boot space, 436 litres more. It is the sensible seven-seat load carrier, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and the longer 200,000-km battery warranty. The 009 earns its extra spend with 335 hp, a 604-km range and 150-kW DC charging, against 241 hp, 435 km and 120 kW. Its 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time beats 9.2 seconds, while air suspension and more elaborate second-row seats suit passenger-focused use.
Pick the Maxus MIFA 9 if maximum luggage room, a lower entry price and longer battery-warranty mileage matter more than outright pace and range.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want the longer 604-km range, quicker performance and air-suspended, massage-equipped captain seats.
