Hyundai Palisade 2.5 Turbo HEV Calligraphy (2026) vs Zeekr 009 Executive 6-Seater (2025)

Hyundai Palisade 2.5 Turbo HEV Calligraphy (2026) vs Zeekr 009 Executive 6-Seater (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing price, power, and practicality, the Hyundai Palisade 2.5 Turbo HEV Calligraphy offers a more balanced package. Priced at ₱3,980,000 versus the Zeekr 009 Executive’s ₱4,399,000, it is cheaper by ₱419,000. The Palisade’s hybrid powertrain delivers 334 PS and 422 Nm of torque, which is sufficient for everyday driving and moderate towing, while the Zeekr’s electric motor boasts a higher 788 PS and 810 Nm, but its price premium may not justify the extra performance for most families. In terms of seating and cargo, both vehicles seat 7 (2+2+3 for the Palisade and 2+2+2 for the Zeekr), but the Palisade’s larger body type (Large Crossover SUV) and unibody construction offer more interior space for passengers and luggage. The Palisade also benefits from a longer warranty of 5 years/200,000 km compared to the Zeekr’s 5 years or 100,000 km. For buyers prioritizing affordability, a hybrid powertrain that blends fuel efficiency with adequate performance, and a spacious interior for family use, the Palisade is the practical choice. The Zeekr 009 Executive may appeal to those who value cutting‑edge electric performance and are willing to pay a premium for its higher power output and unique MPV design.
