Verdict
The Zeekr 7X costs RM182,800, undercutting the RM188,000 Suzuki eVitara by RM5,200 while bringing 416 hp, 480 km of range and 450 kW DC charging. The eVitara is far smaller at 4,275 mm long, so it is the easier fit for tight Malaysian parking, and its RM120 annual road tax is RM495 lower. But the 7X’s 539-litre boot, 75 kWh battery and 22 kW AC charging make it the more capable family EV on paper. The Suzuki makes sense chiefly where compact dimensions and lower yearly tax matter most.
Pick the Suzuki eVitara if you need a 4,275 mm-long SUV for tighter spaces and want RM120 annual road tax rather than RM615.
Pick the Zeekr 7X if you want more range, much faster charging, a 539-litre boot and stronger performance for RM5,200 less.
