Tesla Model Y vs Zeekr 7X
Verdict
The Tesla Model Y asks RM195,450, while the Zeekr 7X comes in at RM179,800, so the 7X saves RM15,650 before you look at running costs. The Tesla is fractionally quicker at 5.9 seconds to 100 km/h and has a huge 854-litre boot, useful for family trips. The Zeekr counters with 480 km of range, a 75.0 kWh battery and a longer five-year warranty. Its RM615 yearly road tax is just over double the Tesla’s RM305, though.
Pick the Tesla Model Y if you need the 854-litre boot, prefer the lower RM305 annual road tax and accept paying RM15,650 more.
Pick the Zeekr 7X if you want the lower price, 480 km range and longer five-year warranty over outright cargo volume.
