Verdict
Malaysia’s executive-MPV buyer faces a stark numbers case. The RM450,350 EQV has 610 litres of boot space, RM160 annual road tax and a 200,000-km manufacturer warranty, but its 90-kWh battery covers 374 km and its 201-hp motor needs 12.1 seconds to reach 100 km/h. At RM299,800, the 009 brings 604 km from 116 kWh, 335 hp and 7.9 seconds, plus 150-kW DC charging. The EQV’s extra 36 litres matters for luggage; otherwise the 009 is the more capable seven-seater for substantially less.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQV if you need the larger 610-litre boot, lower RM160 yearly road tax and 200,000-km manufacturer warranty.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you want 604 km of range, 150-kW DC charging and far stronger performance at a much lower price.
