This plug-in hybrid model, built on the all-new Haohan-S architecture, has a pre-order price range of RMB 479,900 to RMB 569,900 and is expected to officially launch at the end of September.

The Zeekr 9X is positioned as a full-size luxury flagship SUV, measuring 5239 x 2019 mm (2029 x 1819 mm) and boasting a wheelbase of 3169 mm, far exceeding its competitors. This size is significantly larger than the Ideal L9 (5218 mm long, 3105 mm wheelbase) and the Wenjie M9 (5230 mm long, 3110 mm wheelbase).
Exterior design: The Zeekr 9X features the world's largest one-piece chrome grille (120 cm x 70 cm) and 22-inch mirror-finish forged wheels, the latter of which undergoes 10 hand-finishing processes and takes over 30 hours to complete. The front of the car continues the design language of the Zeekr 009, with C-shaped headlights and a vertical waterfall grille creating a strong visual impact.
The Zeekr 9X is equipped with Zeekr's newly developed "Haohan Super Hybrid" system, consisting of a 2.0T hybrid-specific engine (DHE20-PFZ, 1974cc displacement, 205kW power) and three electric motors. The total system output reaches 1030kW (approximately 1400 horsepower).
In terms of performance, the Zeekr 9X achieves:
0-100km/h acceleration in just 3.1 seconds (fully charged);
Even with a 3.3-second acceleration capability, even when powered;
Top speed of 240km/h;
All-electric range of up to 302km (CLTC operating mode);
Notably, the vehicle utilizes a full-stack 900V high-voltage architecture and supports 6C ultra-fast charging technology, enabling a 20%-80% charge in just 9 minutes.
The Zeekr 9X achieves several breakthroughs in chassis technology:
48V active stabilizer bar: A first for a Chinese brand, this technology, used in the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, can raise the chassis by 80mm in 0.2 seconds, achieving near-zero roll during high-speed cornering.
Closed dual-chamber air suspension: Adjusts height and firmness in real time based on driving mode, load, and road conditions.
Dual-valve CCD electromagnetic shock absorbers: Fast response, enhancing vehicle stability and comfort.
Maximum ground clearance of 288mm: comparable to a million-dollar hardcore off-road vehicle.
These technologies enable the Zeekr 9X to achieve both on-road and off-road performance. Its minimum turning radius is a mere 5.8 meters, surpassing the 6.2-meter turning radius of the similarly sized Yangwang U8.
The Zeekr 9X's interior is also imbued with a sense of technology and luxury:
30-inch 6K floating central control screen: supports split-screen operation;
Flying Wing sliding screen: adjustable for desired positioning;
Naim premium audio system: provides a premium listening experience;
Available in 4/6/7-seat configurations to meet diverse usage scenarios;
For intelligent driving, the Zeekr 9X is equipped with the Qianli Haohan H9 advanced intelligent driving platform, which includes:
5 LiDAR sensors;
13 cameras;
3 millimeter-wave radars;
Dual Thor-U chips (1400TOPS computing power);
This system supports Level 3 autonomous driving hardware pre-installed, and related functions can be activated via over-the-air updates once regulations are finalized.
As the Zeekr brand's flagship SUV, the Zeekr 9X directly targets the million-dollar luxury SUV market. Its pre-sale price range is RMB 479,900 to RMB 569,900, offering significant price advantages compared to comparable imported luxury brand models. Zeekr also plans to launch a higher-end "Glorious" version, with an estimated price starting at RMB 1 million, further impacting the high-end market.
