MG Cyberster vs Zeekr 009
Verdict
These two EVs cost almost the same, but they solve opposite problems.

The Zeekr 009 is the family answer, with seven seats, a far larger 116.0 kWh battery, 604 km range and 574 litres of boot space. The MG is quicker off the line; the Zeekr goes further, carries more and has a higher 210 km/h top speed.
