Verdict
The Zeekr 009 costs RM248,200 less at RM299,800, yet brings a 116 kWh battery with a claimed 604 km range, 574 litres of boot space and a 3,205 mm wheelbase. It is also quicker on paper where a figure is given, reaching 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, and its 335 hp motor beats the Alphard’s 274 hp. The Toyota counters with 430 Nm, a 75-litre petrol tank and unlimited-mileage five-year warranty. For Malaysian buyers able to charge, the 009 is the more richly specified bargain; the Alphard suits those who prefer petrol refuelling and unlimited warranty mileage.
Pick the Toyota Alphard if you want a 2.4-litre turbo petrol MPV with 430 Nm, a 75-litre tank and five years of unlimited-mileage warranty.
Pick the Zeekr 009 if you can charge an EV and want to save RM248,200 while gaining 604 km claimed range, a longer wheelbase and far more cabin equipment.
