Verdict
The RM63,890 price gap separates two very different EVs. The Denza Z9 GT is the five-seat performance choice, with three motors producing 1,140 hp and 1,210 Nm for 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, plus 1,500 kW DC charging capability. The Zeekr 009 is the more rational Malaysian family car: it carries seven, has a 574-litre boot, a 604 km range and annual road tax of RM395. The Z9 GT’s RM9,140 road tax is a serious recurring cost.
Z9 GT
Pick the Denza Z9 GT if blistering 2.7-second acceleration, all-wheel drive and a five-seat wagon body matter more than purchase price, road tax and third-row seating.
009
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you need seven seats, a larger 574-litre boot and far lower annual road tax in an executive MPV.
