Verdict

At RM299,000, the Denza D9 costs RM800 less, yet its 6.0 kW V2L output and 166 kW DC charging suit families needing stronger external power and a higher peak rapid-charging rate. The Zeekr 009 answers with a 116 kWh battery for 604 km, against 103.36 kWh and 520 km, plus a 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time. Its 574-litre boot and 3,205 mm wheelbase also matter with all seven seats occupied. For frequent interstate use, the 009 is the more complete package; the D9’s six-year vehicle warranty keeps it close.

D9

Pick the Denza D9 if faster 166 kW DC charging, 6.0 kW V2L and a longer six-year vehicle warranty matter more than outright range and acceleration.

009

Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want 604 km of range, a 574-litre boot, air suspension and a much quicker 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
