Maxus MIFA 9 Luxury vs Premium
Verdict
For most buyers, the Maxus MIFA 9 Luxury is the cleaner buy at RM269,888 versus RM289,888 for the Maxus MIFA 9 Premium. The RM20,000 gap does not buy more motor output, quicker acceleration, extra seats, a larger body, more boot space, more airbags or a longer warranty here. Both are 241 hp single-motor, front-wheel-drive electric MPVs with a 9.2-second 0-100 km/h time, and the cheaper Luxury even has a slightly longer 435 km range against 430 km.
Pick the Maxus MIFA 9 Luxury if you want the same seven-seat electric MPV basics, performance and safety count for RM20,000 less.
Pick the Maxus MIFA 9 Premium if you specifically want the pricier trim and have checked that its cabin equipment justifies the extra money for you.
