Which variant to buy

Most buyers should buy the Luxury at RM269,888. It has the same 241 hp, FWD drivetrain and seven-seat layout as the Premium, while its quoted 435 km range is 5 km higher. The Premium costs RM289,888 and has a quoted 430 km range. On paper, the RM20,000 gap does not buy extra output, drive wheels or seats; check the equipment list carefully before paying for the higher trim.

Verdict

With seven seats, 241 hp and standard AEB, the MIFA 9 covers the essential brief for an electric people mover. Its RM269,888 entry point is far above the BYD M6's RM109,800, but sits below the Xpeng X9's RM281,073, Denza D9's RM299,000 and Zeekr 009's RM299,800. The Luxury's longer quoted range and lower price make the Premium hard to justify on powertrain figures alone.
