It is possible that ZEEKR 009 will be introduced in the future, will this affect the sales volume of Toyota Alphard?

Recently, ZEEKR 009 was launched in the Thai market, adding a new member to the MPV family. It is expected that this car may come to the domestic market, which will inevitably compete with domestic MPV models. At present, the MPV with the highest market share in the domestic market is the Toyota Alphard, which can be seen in the streets and alleys of Malaysia. However, it is best to have a driver to drive this car. Although this car is an excellent passenger car, the driving experience is not as good as that of a car. The latest Toyota Alphard is currently on sale in the domestic market, priced at RM 538,000, and comes with a 5-year / Unlimited warranty service.
2023 Toyota Alphard: RM 538,000
In terms of body size, the Toyota Alphard is 5010mm long, 1850mm wide, and 1950mm high, with a wheelbase of 2235mm. The vehicle is positioned as a business model on the inside, it houses seven seats and employs 19-inch large tires. Many domestic families choose to buy this car as a daily travel option for the family, but the image of the car has become a vehicle for executive travel, gang transactions, and business negotiations.
As for the power, the Toyota Alphard is equipped with a 2.5 T 8AT front-wheel-drive system, producing 205kw output power, and 430N·m torque. The car's top speed is 180km/h, and the official fuel consumption data is 9L/100km. The front and rear suspension systems use MacPherson Independent Suspension and Double Wishbone Independent Suspension.
The safety system is also something extra to consider in MPV models, as those riding in MPV models are either family members or people with relatively high social status. The safety system of the Toyota Alphard is fully equipped, with basic safety systems on the market, but the car does lack some features in its intelligent driving assistance system, including the Auto parking function, and the Toyota Alphard's large body makes it difficult to reverse park.
In terms of audiovisual entertainment, the interior style of the Toyota Alphard leans towards business simplicity, with the contact feel of the seat leather being very comfortable. The center is equipped with a 14-inch touch display screen, providing vehicle information and entertainment functions. Worth mentioning is that the rear seat of the Toyota Alphard can also be folded to increase the vehicle's loading volume.
The front and rear seats of the Toyota Alphard are both electrically adjustable with memory and heating functions, but also the adjustment options for the front and rear are different, and the rear seats also come with a small table for holding items and serving as a workspace.
For the sound system, the Toyota Alphard uses 15 JBL speakers. This American sound system is famous for its convenient small speakers, and the sound quality performance is quite good.
As a classic luxury MPV model, Toyota Alphard has always been loved by consumers thanks to its comfortable riding experience and powerful brand influence. However, in terms of intelligence and technological configuration, Toyota Alphard lags behind some emerging luxury MPVs. If ZEEKR 009 comes to the domestic market, do you think it will pose a challenge to Toyota Alphard's market position? Which one would you choose?
