Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the V7 at RM123,800. It has the same listed 161 hp diesel-hybrid powertrain, AWD, automatic transmission and five-seat cabin as the V9, which costs RM143,800. On paper, the RM10,000 gap buys trim rather than mechanical changes, as no equipment differences are specified. Pay more for the V9 only after checking that its equipment list includes features you genuinely want.
