Zeekr X

Verdict

At RM139,800, the CKD Haval H6 costs RM19,000 less, carries a much lower RM120 annual road tax and brings a 560-litre boot, making it the more practical choice for buyers without home charging. The RM158,800 Zeekr X is the quicker, EV-led alternative: its 335-hp motor reaches 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds, versus 7.7 seconds, and its 66-kWh battery is rated for 440 km. But its 404-litre boot and RM395 road tax are real trade-offs.

Haval H6

Pick the GWM Haval H6 if you want the lower purchase and road-tax costs, a 560-litre boot and hybrid flexibility without depending on charging.

X

Pick the Zeekr X if you can charge an EV and want 335 hp, a 5.3-second 0-100 km/h time and a 440-km electric range.
