Verdict
For a Malaysian family, the Xpeng X9 is the sharper buy at RM281,073: it saves RM23,727, carries 721 litres behind its seven seats and its 800V system accepts up to 537 kW DC charging. The Zeekr 009 counters with a 116 kWh battery, 604 km range and a slightly quicker 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time, against the X9’s 94.8 kWh, 535 km and 8.2 seconds. Both have front-wheel drive, air suspension and 11 kW AC charging. Pick based on charging speed and luggage room versus outright range.
