Verdict
These are radically different RM300k EVs. The RM299,900 MG Cyberster is the two-seat choice: its 338 hp, 475 Nm rear motor reaches 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds, 2.9 seconds ahead of the Zeekr. Spend RM4,900 more on the RM304,800 Zeekr 009 and you get seven seats, a 574-litre boot and 604 km range from a 116 kWh battery, versus 249 litres and 508 km from the MG’s 77 kWh pack. For Malaysian family duty, the 009’s space, air suspension and rear climate control are decisive. The Cyberster is for drivers who value acceleration and an open roof over carrying people.
Pick the MG Cyberster if a two-seat convertible with rear-wheel drive and a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time matters more than family space.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you need seven seats, a 574-litre boot, 604 km range and proper rear-passenger amenities.
