Zeekr 9X : The New Ultra-Luxury SUV Flagship Coming This August
On July 10, Zeekr announced that the upcoming Zeekr 9X had secured over 10,000 blind orders within just two hours. Touted as the “Global Ultra-Luxury SUV Flagship,” the Zeekr 9X showcases impressive performance, innovation, and craftsmanship. The vehicle is scheduled to go on presale in late August, with a starting price expected at RMB 600,000.
🚙 Bold & Premium Exterior Design
The Zeekr 9X features the bold silhouette typical of large SUVs, with a square, commanding presence. Its front fascia draws inspiration from the Zeekr 009 MPV family design, while both the headlights and taillights are adorned with starlight-like speckles, enhancing its futuristic aesthetic. Complemented by oversized “pie-style” alloy wheels, the luxury is unmistakable.
One standout element is the bridge-style yacht roof design, inspired by luxury yachts. The 22-inch mirror-forged wheels undergo 10 meticulous hand-polishing processes, taking more than 30 hours to complete. Lighting-wise, the front and rear are equipped with a Galaxy Star Diamond Matrix light cluster, integrating over 42,000 diamond-cut surfaces that refract light like shimmering stars.
⚡ Powerful Hybrid System with Record-Breaking Range
The Zeekr 9X is built on a 900V high-voltage architecture and utilizes a super hybrid electric system that combines the best of range-extender and hybrid technology. In pure electric mode, the front and rear motors output 290 kW and 370 kW, respectively.
In hybrid mode, Zeekr’s self-developed 2.0T hybrid engine delivers 205 kW, which is over 70% more powerful than its class rivals. Even when the battery is depleted, its fuel consumption remains impressively low for a full-size SUV.
It also features a 6C Xyao long-range battery, making it one of the world’s longest-range plug-in hybrid SUVs. It breaks charging speed records, reaching 20% to 80% charge in just 9 minutes.
🛞 Advanced Chassis Tech for All-Terrain Comfort
The Zeekr 9X is the world’s first SUV to feature both a closed dual-chamber air suspension system and dual-valve CCD (Continuous Damping Control). This setup allows for a suspension lift of up to 110mm and a maximum ground clearance of 288mm, providing superior all-terrain capabilities.
It also incorporates active stabilizer bar technology, which greatly reduces body roll during high-speed cornering, enhancing both performance and passenger comfort.
🧠 L3 Autonomous Driving with Cutting-Edge Computing
The Zeekr 9X debuts with the “Qianli Haohan H9” smart driving system and the brand’s advanced hybrid tech. It is equipped with dual Thor chip domain controllers developed in-house, delivering 1,400 TOPS of computing power.
Built on the ZEEKR ZEEA 3.0 digital architecture, it features a central computing brain, digital chassis, 5 LiDARs, and four 360-degree full-perception systems—paving the way for L3-level intelligent assisted driving capabilities.
🛋️ Oversized Cabin with Eastern Aesthetics & Premium Materials
With a length over 5.2 meters, width over 2 meters, and height over 1.8 meters, the Zeekr 9X boasts a wheelbase close to 3.2 meters. It offers 4-, 6-, or 7-seat configurations along with advanced features like a 50-inch AR-HUD.
The interior blends Eastern aesthetic philosophy with top-tier materials, creating a refined and immersive luxury experience.
🔚 Final Thoughts
