Verdict
At RM220,000 versus RM159,948, the Toyota bZ4X asks RM60,052 more while matching the Xpeng G6’s 525 km range. The G6 gives Malaysian buyers more motor output, much quicker DC charging and a larger boot, so it looks the sharper EV buy on numbers. The bZ4X fights back with 22 kW AC charging, a bigger 73.1 kWh battery and unlimited-mileage manufacturer coverage, which matters if home or office AC charging and long-term mileage are priorities.
bZ4X
Pick the Toyota bZ4X if you want 22 kW AC charging, unlimited-mileage warranty cover and prefer its front-wheel-drive layout.
G6
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want the stronger, quicker, roomier EV with far faster DC charging for much less money.
