Verdict
These are very different five-seat propositions. At RM223,888, the Maxus eTerron 9 costs RM23,378 more, but its twin motors produce 436 hp and 700 Nm for a 5.8-second 0-100 km/h time, against the CX-60’s 189 hp, 261 Nm and 9.6 seconds. It also brings AWD, a 102-kWh battery, 430 km EV range and 6.6-kW V2L. The RM200,510 Mazda is the more compact 4,740-mm SUV, has a 570-litre boot and costs RM830 a year in road tax versus RM665 for the Maxus.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you want a 5,500-mm electric pickup with AWD, 430 km of stated range, V2L and much stronger 436-hp performance.
Pick the Mazda CX-60 if you want the lower RM200,510 entry price, a 570-litre SUV boot and the listed Mazda convenience and safety equipment.
