Verdict

At RM158,800, the Zeekr X Premium is already a 335 hp, rear-wheel-drive EV with a 66 kWh battery, 440 km range and 200 kW DC charging. The RM17,000 step to the RM175,800 Flagship brings a second motor, all-wheel drive and 489 hp, cutting the 0-100 km/h time from 5.3 to 3.7 seconds. It also doubles AC charging to 22 kW and adds front-seat massage, but its DC rate falls to 150 kW and annual road tax rises from RM395 to RM865. For most Malaysian buyers, the Premium is the sharper buy; the Flagship is for those who will use its pace and AWD.

Premium

Pick the Zeekr X Premium if you want the lower RM395 annual road tax and faster 200 kW DC charging without giving up the same 66 kWh battery, 14.6-inch screen or safety kit.

Flagship

Pick the Zeekr X Flagship if 489 hp, all-wheel drive, a 3.7-second 0-100 km/h time, 22 kW AC charging and massaging front seats justify the RM17,000 outlay.
