Xpeng X9 vs Zeekr 009
Verdict
The Xpeng X9 is the cheaper, bigger-boot play at RM281,073, with 721 litres of luggage room and nine airbags. The Zeekr 009 costs RM299,800, so the RM18,727 gap buys a larger 116.0 kWh battery, 604 km range, more power and rear-wheel drive. It is also quicker, but only by 0.3 seconds to 100 km/h. For Malaysian family use, the X9 looks more pragmatic; the 009 feels better justified if range and driven-wheel layout matter more than boot volume.
Pick the Xpeng X9 if you want the lower price, larger 721-litre boot and nine airbags in a seven-seat electric MPV.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want the bigger 116.0 kWh battery, longer 604 km range and rear-wheel-drive layout.
