Verdict
The FL is the clear new-car choice if the extra RM3,000 is within budget: it adds 67 hp and 30 Nm, cuts the 0-100 km/h time from 5.6 to 5.3 seconds, and raises AC/DC charging from 7.2/150 kW to 11/200 kW. Both retain the same 66 kWh battery and 440 km range, so the gain is faster charging rather than longer distance. The FL also brings 404 litres of boot space, ventilated memory front seats and a head-up display. The outgoing Zeekr X BX1E costs RM155,800 against RM158,800 and has lower RM260 annual road tax versus RM395.
Pick the Zeekr X BX1E if a lower purchase price and RM135 less annual road tax matter more than quicker charging, extra power and added cabin equipment.
Pick the FL if you want the 335 hp motor, 11 kW AC and 200 kW DC charging, plus a larger boot and better-equipped front seats.
