2026 ZEEKR 009 MPV Officially Announced for May 19 Launch

On May 8, ZEEKR officially announced that its new-generation flagship MPV—the refreshed 2026 ZEEKR 009—will be launched on May 19. As the updated iteration of the world's first purpose-built luxury electric MPV, the 2026 ZEEKR 009 is no longer merely a symbol of corporate hospitality; it has evolved into a "mobile third space" that seamlessly integrates family gatherings, premium travel, and intelligent technology. Drawing on deep insights into the needs of global users, the ZEEKR 009 features a 900V high-voltage architecture, a "Zero-Gravity Cabin," and 1,400 TOPS of intelligent driving computing power.

1. Exterior Design

The iconic "Alpine Waterfall" vertical grille—paired with a new "Flowing Light" vertical intelligent interactive lighting cluster—creates a dynamic light display with a profound sense of ceremony when illuminated, making it a visual focal point on roads worldwide.

Two exclusive new exterior colors have been added: "Obsidian Gold" and "Starry Sky Grey." These finishes enhance the sense of luxury with their deep metallic luster, striking a perfect balance between professional gravitas and personal expression.

The vehicle retains its dimensions of 5,217 × 2,024 × 1,812 mm, with a wheelbase stretching to 3,205 mm. This creates the spacious, luxurious presence unique to large MPVs, while simultaneously achieving an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.27 to optimize energy efficiency during long-distance travel.

The roof integrates an upgraded LiDAR unit along with six "Little Blue Lights" for intelligent driving assistance, blending cutting-edge technology seamlessly with Eastern aesthetics.

2. Electric Propulsion System

The 900V architecture not only accelerates charging speeds but also reduces wiring harness weight by 50% and minimizes energy loss, delivering a "charging-as-fast-as-refueling" experience that feels effortless and intuitive. It is the world's first mass-produced system in an MPV to achieve a range replenishment of 510 kilometers in just 10 minutes, thereby completely eliminating range anxiety for long-distance travel.

3. Intelligent Cockpit

Standard across the entire model lineup are Soft NAPPA full-grain leather seats, offering a delicate touch and an eco-friendly, odor-free environment that meets the rigorous health and quality standards of discerning global users.

Second-Row Dual "Zero-Gravity" Seats: Featuring 22-point massage functionality, 4-way adaptive lumbar support, and an expansive 132° recline angle. Paired with a 17-inch 3K OLED ceiling-mounted display, these seats create an immersive "Eames Lounge Chair Mode."

Exclusive Dual Swivel Seats (7-Seater Version Only): Capable of rotating 180° to face the rear passengers. When combined with the large central display, the cabin instantly transforms into a "Family Living Room" or a "Mobile Conference Room."

Naim "Hall of Fame" Audio System: Boasting 31 speakers, a peak power output of 3868W, and a 7.2.7.8 full-dimensional surround sound configuration, it delivers a theater-grade auditory feast.

16-inch 3.5K Mini-LED Central Control Screen + 35.95-inch AR-HUD: Ensures zero information blind spots and zero interaction interference.

4. Intelligent Driving

Core Chip: Powered by the NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-U, featuring a single-chip computing power of 700 TOPS. High-spec models utilize a dual-chip configuration reaching 1400 TOPS, providing immense computing power for decision-making in complex road conditions.

Perception System: Integrates LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and high-definition cameras to enable over 70 active safety functions, covering all scenarios including urban driving, highways, and parking.

System Name: "Qianli Haohan H7G-ASD." Supports advanced functions such as automatic lane changing, highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot), memory parking, and automatic obstacle avoidance, with a 175% improvement in system response speed.

Safety Redundancy: The vehicle is equipped with 7 airbags throughout the cabin—including an extra-large 70L side curtain airbag—to ensure 720° comprehensive protection.

5. Chassis and Handling

Standard across the entire lineup are a closed-loop dual-chamber air suspension system and dual-valve CCD electromagnetic dampers. Responding to road surface changes in milliseconds, this system achieves the ultimate balance: "soft as a sofa, stable as a yacht." The vehicle's ride height is intelligently adjustable, adapting to varying road conditions and facilitating easy entry and exit, thereby balancing off-road clearance with aerodynamic efficiency.

With front and rear track widths of 1702 mm and 1714 mm, respectively—combined with a precision steering system—this large MPV delivers the agile handling typically associated with a sedan.

6. Vehicle Configuration Variants

All variants come standard with an on-board ETC unit and an EDR (Event Data Recorder) system, ensuring full compliance with global safety regulations.

7. Global Market Outlook

The ZEEKR 009 has held the title of China's best-selling MPV in the segment priced above 400,000 RMB for two consecutive years; furthermore, it has achieved the top sales position within its segment in markets such as Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia. The launch of the 2026 model marks ZEEKR’s official transition from being a "Chinese Benchmark" to a "Global Flagship." Its core technological language—encompassing the 900V architecture, Thor-U chip, and "Zero-Gravity" cabin—has already established itself as a benchmark standard for high-end electric vehicles worldwide.
