Verdict
The Denza D9 costs RM299,000 to the GWM Wey G9’s RM269,800, a RM29,200 gap that buys a 103.36-kWh battery, 520 km EV range and 410 litres of boot space. Its 166-kW DC charging and 11-kW AC capability also suit a buyer committed to electric driving. The Wey G9 counters with all-wheel drive and a far quicker 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time, versus 9.5 seconds, while its plug-in hybrid setup brings a 58-litre petrol tank for longer trips. Choose by charging access, not badge or cabin size alone.
Pick the Denza D9 if 520 km of electric range, faster 166-kW DC charging and a 410-litre boot matter more than outright acceleration.
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you want all-wheel drive, 5.7-second acceleration and petrol-backed plug-in hybrid flexibility for RM29,200 less.
