Nissan Serena e-Power vs Zeekr X
Verdict
At RM154,800 versus RM158,800, the Nissan Serena e-Power is only RM4,000 cheaper than the Zeekr X, but they solve very different Malaysian problems. The Serena is the family bus: seven seats, taller 1,885 mm body, longer 2,870 mm wheelbase and lower RM120 road tax. The Zeekr X is the quicker, fully electric choice, with 335 hp, rear-wheel drive, 5.3-second 0-100 km/h time, a 66.0 kWh battery and 440 km range. The catch is simple: it seats five, not seven.
Pick the Nissan Serena e-Power if you need seven seats, MPV height and lower annual road tax more than EV performance.
Pick the Zeekr X if you want a five-seat electric SUV with 335 hp, 440 km range and much stronger acceleration.
