Verdict
These are very different tools despite their similar all-wheel-drive, dual-motor layouts. The seven-seat GWM Wey G9 is the family choice, with a 3,085 mm wheelbase, powered sliding doors and 170 km of EV range from its 44.2 kWh battery; its 5.7-second 0-100 km/h time also narrowly beats the pickup. The Maxus eTerron 9 costs RM40,912 less, yet brings 430 km of EV range, a 102.2 kWh battery and 650 kg payload capacity. For Malaysian buyers carrying people, choose the Wey; for electric range and proper work utility, the Maxus is decisive.
Pick the GWM Wey G9 if you need seven seats, powered sliding doors and a PHEV powertrain with a 58-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you need a five-seat electric pickup with 430 km EV range, 650 kg payload and 3,500 kg braked towing.
