Verdict
The RM37,000 gap buys the AWD Performance a second motor, 637 hp and a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h time, plus air suspension, a panoramic glass roof, window shades and automatic doors. That is serious extra pace, but annual road tax rises from RM615 to RM1,740. Both use a 100 kWh battery, quote 543 km of range and accept up to 420 kW DC charging. For most Malaysian buyers, the RWD Long Range’s 416 hp, powered rear-seat recline and front-seat memory make it the more sensible 7X; take the AWD if acceleration and chassis hardware matter more.
Pick the Zeekr 7X RWD Long Range if you want the same 543 km claimed range and 420 kW DC charging for RM37,000 less, with lower road tax and powered rear recline.
Pick the Zeekr 7X AWD Performance if 637 hp, 710 Nm, 3.8-second acceleration and air suspension justify the RM37,000 premium and RM1,125 higher annual road tax.
