Verdict

The Xpeng X9 costs RM281,073, undercutting the Zeekr 009 by RM23,727, yet brings the quicker-charging 800V electrical architecture: its 537 kW DC ceiling is far beyond the Zeekr’s 150 kW. It is also 107 mm longer and has a 721-litre boot, useful for seven-up airport runs. The Zeekr answers with a 116 kWh battery and 604 km range, against 94.8 kWh and 535 km, plus marginally quicker 7.9-second 0-100 km/h performance. For Malaysian long-distance EV use, charging access decides this one: pick the X9 if rapid DC stops matter more than outright range.

X9

Pick the Xpeng X9 if you want RM23,727 left in your pocket, a 537 kW DC charging ceiling and a 721-litre boot.

009

Pick the Zeekr 009 if you prioritise its 604 km range, 116 kWh battery and faster 7.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
