Verdict
At virtually the same money — RM160,000 for the Omoda Jaecoo C7 and RM159,948 for the Xpeng G6 — the G6 is the more complete EV package. Its 248 hp/440 Nm motor, 68.5 kWh battery, 480 km range and 382 kW DC charging give Malaysian buyers useful performance and charging capability, while the 2,890 mm wheelbase and 571-litre boot add practicality. The C7 counters with Malaysian CKD assembly and RM120 annual road tax, half the G6’s RM240, but its 194 hp/290 Nm 1.6-litre turbo and shorter 2,700 mm wheelbase leave it behind on paper.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C7 if you want a Malaysian-assembled petrol SUV with lower RM120 annual road tax and 19-inch wheels.
Pick the Xpeng G6 if you want EV driving, 480 km of quoted range, 382 kW DC charging and the longer-wheelbase cabin.
