Zeekr X takes the win for electric crossover of the year.
The Zeekr X captures our Electric Crossover honors by demonstrating that compact dimensions need not limit sophistication or capability. This right-sized EV combines striking design elements with thoughtful practicality to create an ideal urban companion that doesn’t compromise on longer journeys.
The X’s dual-motor powertrain delivers impressive acceleration that transforms mundane commutes into engaging drives, while its efficient battery management provides range that alleviates the anxiety often associated with electric vehicle ownership. The responsive chassis tuning strikes an ideal balance between comfort and driver engagement, proving that electric crossovers can deliver genuine driving pleasure.
Inside, the cabin impresses with premium materials and thoughtful ergonomics that create a space that feels a class above its price point. The intuitive user interface prioritizes essential functions without overwhelming with unnecessary complexity, while the comprehensive connectivity suite seamlessly integrates with modern digital lifestyles.
What distinguishes the Zeekr X is its attention to detail—every touchpoint, feature, and design element feels deliberate rather than compromised. For urban dwellers seeking to transition to electric mobility without sacrificing style or functionality, the Zeekr X represents the ideal combination of innovation and practicality in a distinctively designed package.
About The Allianz DSF VOTY Awards
The Allianz DSF.my Vehicle Of The Year (VOTY) Award ceremony is the first and only vehicle award event in Malaysia that does not hand out paid awards, nor does it charge winners or participating brands any fee whatsoever. Winners are allowed to use the VOTY event logo free of charge in all marketing materials. Event attendees are not even charged for their seat at the award presentation. All car manufacturers that operate in Malaysia are invited to participate free of charge. All they have to do is let our judges test drive their nominated vehicles.
The nominated vehicles must have been launched in Malaysia in the last 12 months and cannot be a localised minor facelift (body-kits, stickers, wheel upgrades, etc). All judging is independent and is put down to a vote before the winners are selected. Car manufacturers are not informed if they are winning or not before the event.
2025 marks a significant milestone for VOTY as Allianz celebrates its 16th year as the title sponsor of this prestigious automotive event. This year also commemorates Daniel Sherman Fernandez’s 25th year in the automotive industry, highlighting his longstanding contribution and commitment to automotive journalism in Malaysia.The judges for VOTY 2025 are Daniel Sherman Fernandez and Subhash Nair of dsf.my, Ross Hadi of gohedgostan.com and Joshua Chin of automacha.com.
