Verdict
Mechanically, these two Zeekr X generations are very close: both are rear-wheel-drive, single-motor C-segment electric SUVs with a 66.0 kWh battery and 440 km range. The FL’s case is simple — 335 hp versus 268 hp, and 0-100 km/h drops from 5.6 to 5.3 seconds. It also has a bigger 404-litre boot against 362 litres. But the RM3,000 gap brings higher annual road tax, RM395 instead of RM260, so the outgoing BX1E still makes sense if the deal is right.
Pick the Zeekr X BX1E if you want the same 66.0 kWh battery, 440 km range and five-seat layout for less money and lower road tax.
Pick the Zeekr X BX1E FL if you want the stronger 335 hp motor, slightly quicker acceleration and the larger 404-litre boot.
