Verdict
The Zeekr 009 is the hard-nosed Malaysian value pick: at RM304,800, it undercuts the RM548,000 Toyota Alphard by RM243,200 while bringing a 116 kWh battery, 604 km claimed range and 150 kW DC charging. Its 3,205 mm wheelbase and 574-litre boot also beat the Toyota’s 3,000 mm and 510 litres. The Alphard counters with 430 Nm from its 2.4-litre turbo petrol engine, a space-saver spare and unlimited-mileage five-year warranty. Both carry seven, but the Zeekr gives the rear passengers more hardware for far less money.
