From Zeekr 7X to GWM WEY G9: Inside Siti Nurhaliza’s Growing Collection of High-Tech ‘New Energy’ Vehicles

On 6 March 2026, GWM Malaysia officially handed over the first locally assembled GWM WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV to national icon Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza. The ceremony at GWM USJ marked a pivotal milestone in the brand’s New Energy journey, following the model's high-profile debut at MITEC in January.

But this wasn't just a one-off celebrity endorsement. As the official WEY G9 brand ambassador, Siti Nurhaliza is adding her second major "New Energy" vehicle to her garage in just three months, following her Zeekr 7X delivery in December 2025.

For Malaysia’s number one singer, the shift toward electrified luxury isn't just about the "green" label—it’s a calculated move toward Quiet Luxury and Intelligent Performance, reflecting a vehicle designed to support both modern family life and high-stakes professional commitments.

Performance SUV vs. Luxury Sanctuary

While both vehicles fall under the "New Energy" umbrella, they serve two very different purposes in Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza’s daily routine. The Zeekr 7X AWD Performance is a high-voltage powerhouse designed for spirited city driving, boasting acceleration that rivals supercars. In contrast, the GWM WEY G9 is a sophisticated "mobile suite" designed for long-distance comfort and professional versatility.

To understand how these two titans of the Malaysian EV and PHEV market stack up, here is a look at the technical specifications of Siti’s current fleet:

Why the WEY G9 fits the "Siti Standard"

While the Zeekr 7X delivers raw electric thrills, the WEY G9 focuses on what Siti calls "balance and ease." Here is why this specific MPV is becoming her daily mainstay:

• The "Zero-Gravity" Experience: The second-row captain seats feature 10-point massage functions and ventilation. For a star traveling between back-to-back shows, it’s less of a car and more of a recovery suite.
• The 1,000km (NEDC) Safety Net: Unlike her pure-electric Zeekr, the WEY G9 uses the Hi4 PHEV system. With a 170km  (NEDC) pure electric range, she can run daily errands in silent EV mode, but still has a total range of over 1,000km for outstation tours without worrying about charging stops.
• A "Concert Hall" on Wheels: Equipped with a 21-speaker Amor sound system (2,440W peak power), the cabin is designed for a literal professional ear.
• The Fridge Factor: A built-in 12.5L refrigerator that maintains temperature (0-50°C) for up to 24 hours—perfect for a mother of two keeping snacks fresh or a professional keeping drinks chilled for long shoot days.

The New "Status Symbol" in Malaysia

The fact that a national icon is opting for GWM and Zeekr over the traditional "Vellfire and SUV" status quo is a major signal to the Malaysian market. It shows that "Premium" is no longer just about the badge, but about intelligent tech and refined energy.

“The WEY G9 Hi4 PHEV feels perfectly in tune with my everyday life... Whether I’m travelling for work, attending meetings, or spending time with my family, the experience feels smooth, calm, and reassuring, " – Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza.

Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza received the 2,000th unit of Zeekr 7X SUV last December.

But the story might not end with Zeekr and WEY. If we look at the 'Golden Trio' of new energy brands taking over Malaysia, the only missing piece in this legend’s garage is XPENG.  

Could this futuristic brand be the next car model for Malaysia’s beloved singer? If she’s building a fleet that defines the future of Malaysian mobility, an XPENG addition seems almost inevitable.
