Verdict
At RM158,800, the Zeekr X BX1E FL costs RM3,000 more than the Zeekr X BX1E, but it is the more complete new-car choice. Its 335 hp motor, 11 kW AC and 200 kW DC charging, 404-litre boot and ventilated powered front seats help in daily Malaysian use, while the same 66 kWh battery retains the 440 km quoted range. The BX1E's 268 hp still gets it to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, so a used example makes sense if its saving exceeds the FL's extra kit and RM135 annual road-tax penalty.
Pick the Zeekr X BX1E if a substantially lower used-car price matters more than faster charging, extra power and cabin equipment.
Pick the Zeekr X BX1E FL if you want the stronger 335 hp motor, quicker AC/DC charging and a better-equipped cabin for RM3,000 more.
