Verdict
These are very different tools. At RM228,888, the Maxus eTerron 9 undercuts the RM304,800 Zeekr 009 by RM75,912 and brings 435 hp, 700 Nm, all-wheel drive, a 650 kg payload and 3,500 kg braked towing capacity. It is the working EV here. The 009 answers with seven seats, a 574-litre boot, 604 km of range and 150 kW DC charging, against the Maxus’ 430 km and 115 kW. For Malaysian family transport and long inter-state runs, the Zeekr’s extra range and MPV cabin make more sense; for towing, loads and lower purchase cost, take the Maxus.
Pick the Maxus eTerron 9 if you need a 650 kg payload, 3,500 kg braked towing capacity and 435 hp AWD while keeping RM75,912 in hand.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if seven seats, a 574-litre boot, 604 km range and faster 150 kW DC charging matter more than towing and acceleration.
