Verdict
At RM299,000, the Denza D9 undercuts the RM304,800 Zeekr 009 by RM5,800 and answers with faster 166 kW DC charging, 6 kW V2L and an extra year of vehicle warranty. The Zeekr fights back hard: its 116 kWh battery brings 604 km of range against 520 km, while 335 hp cuts the 0-100 km/h sprint to 7.9 seconds. Malaysian families carrying bags will also value its 574-litre boot and 3,205 mm wheelbase. The D9 remains the sensible choice if charging speed and lower running costs matter more than outright space and pace.
Pick the Denza D9 if you want to spend RM5,800 less, charge at up to 166 kW DC and use its 6 kW V2L supply.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you prioritise its 604 km range, 574-litre boot, 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time and air suspension.
