On the evening of July 19, while Lei Jun was giving his annual speech, Zeekr released the all-new Zeekr 009 MPV in Hong Kong, China, with a starting price of RMB 439,000.


The entire series is equipped with 800V voltage architecture as standard, and a new standard top-mounted laser radar is added. Three models are available in the Chinese mainland market:

  • Zeekr 009 seven-seat aisle version: 439,000 yuan
  • Zeekr 009 seven-seat aisle four-wheel drive version: 459,000 yuan
  • Zeekr 009 six-seat four-wheel drive executive version: 469,000 yuan

Also worth noting is the battery pack. The new Zeekr 009 series is equipped with a 108-kWh 5C Kirin battery as standard. The four-wheel drive version has a CLTC range of 702 kilometers, and the two-wheel drive version has a maximum CLTC range of 740 kilometers.

It also offers an optional 140-degree Kirin battery, with an optional price of 50,000 yuan.


After selecting the large battery pack, the CLTC range can reach up to 900 kilometers. However, after selecting the 140-degree battery pack, the architecture becomes 400V, the power of DC fast charging is reduced, and the charging time will increase accordingly.

Overall, compared with the previous generation Zeekr 009, the new Zeekr 009 not only uses the 800V platform, but also adds a seven-seat version with a second row of aisles, and the starting price is also reduced by 60,000 yuan, and the product strength has leapt forward across the board.

So, why did Zeekr choose Hong Kong to hold the new car launch of the new Zeekr 009?

Hong Kong, the birthplace of China's luxury MPV

As we all know, Chinese people's awareness of luxury MPVs started in Hong Kong.

An Conghui believes that the Greater Bay Area is the birthplace of traditional luxury MPVs and the cradle of "nanny cars".

Whether in Hong Kong dramas or on real roads in the Greater Bay Area, MPV models such as Toyota Alphard are really everywhere. Dongchehui, who is in Guangzhou, often sees quite a number of MPVs with Hong Kong and Macau license plates, frequently shuttling between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.


From the earliest "van" to the "nanny car" that is highly sought after by celebrities and high-end business people, the luxurious and comfortable image of MPV models has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and is suitable for commercial or home scenarios.It has become a decent and comfortable way to travel.

For a long time, the first choice of luxury MPVs has always been Toyota Alphard and Lexus LM, which require a premium to pick up. Now, after entering the new energy era, the luxury MPV market has ushered in a new pure electric flagship model.

Zeekr CEO An Conghui stated at the press conference that Zeekr 009 was the annual sales champion of all categories of MPVs priced above 500,000 yuan in the Chinese market last year.


In order to further change everyone's "luxury perception" of MPVs, the global launch of the new Zeekr 009 was chosen to be held in Hong Kong.

Apparently, An Conghui is very confident about this new car:

Starting today, the new Zeekr 009 is the "new benchmark" for global luxury MPVs.

Therefore, the new Zeekr 009 is not only aimed at the Chinese mainland market, but also wants to conquer the Hong Kong market and even the global market. In the field of luxury MPVs,Replace "Alpha" with "009".


From the appearance, people may find it difficult to distinguish the new and old Zeekr 009 models, but the interior of this car has actually undergone a lot of innovations.

788 horsepower/900 km range, Zeekr does not make boring MPVs

Zeekr never makes boring cars.

Based on the car-making concept of "horsepower is luxury", the 800V four-wheel drive version of the new Zeekr 009 can reach a maximum horsepower of 788 and a peak power of up to 580 kilowatts.


The 0-100 km/h acceleration is 3.9 seconds, making it the "world's fastest accelerating MPV". The braking distance from 100 km/h is also 36.6 meters.

You may ask,Is driving experience important for MPV?

In fact, Zeekr played a video at the press conference, directly interviewing several real car owners with different social identities, who all bought million-dollar luxury cars and then chose Zeekr 009.


Among them, Mr. Wang, a professional investor, said that he cares a lot about "control". Before, he only had a Bentley Flying Spur sedan. But after he had the need to buy an MPV, he still pursued driving pleasure. So what impressed him about Zeekr 009 was not the comfortable space in the eyes of most people, but the pursuit of ultimate control.

Obviously, in terms of driving experience, the new Zeekr 009 is even better than before.


Whether in acceleration, braking, or moose test, it not only leads the Alpha, but also surpasses the flagship sedans of luxury brands such as the Mercedes-Benz S450 and BMW 740.


The new 800V platform not only gives the new Zeekr 009 stronger acceleration performance, but also a shorter recharging time.


The maximum charging rate of 5C allows this 108-degree Kirin battery to complete a 10%-80% charge within 12 minutes at a peak power of up to 560 kilowatts, fulfilling the10 minutes of charging, 500 km of driving rangePromise of.


Before the launch, Zeekr teamed up with several media outlets to live broadcast the entire journey of the new Zeekr 009 (108-degree 5C Kirin battery version) from Beijing to Hong Kong. During the entire 2,360-kilometer journey, it was only charged three times.The battery life achievement rate exceeds 80%.


For users who have higher requirements for driving range, Zeekr has also launched an optional configuration of 140-degree Kirin battery. If you spend 50,000 yuan to choose the 140-degree Kirin battery, the single-motor two-wheel drive version of CLTC The maximum range is 900 km.

Travel between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, shuttle through Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and travel freely in the Greater Bay Area.

It can be said that the new Zeekr 009 makes it easier and more elegant for a pure electric MPV to travel thousands of miles a day.

Move the Eames recliner from the office directly into the car

The riding comfort of an MPV primarily comes from the "boss seat" in the second row of seats.

The second-row airline seats, which were originally very comfortable on the Zeekr 009, have also been upgraded on the new model. Inspired by the Eames reclining chair, it brings the "Eames reclining chair mode" where the legs can lie flat.


The Eames recliner is loved by Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and other bigwigs, and even appeared on the cover of Jay Chou's first album "JAY". It adopts a three-section design of headrest-backrest-footrest, and is known as the "A refuge from the stress of modern life"


After turning on this mode, the backrest can be adjusted to 132°, and the front seats will move forward accordingly. The footrest will be opened, and together with the leg rests of the second row seats, it will be in a flat state at 90°, providing an extremely stretched "lying flat" state for the passengers in the second row of seats.


Moreover, considering the user's "health care" needs, Zeekr has also put the three-speed heating adjustment function directly on the footrest, providing a "foot heating function". An Conghui said that stepping on it is like doing hot stone therapy.


Bosses who used to like to use Eames reclining chairs in their offices will probably be very happy to see this chair; car owners who have never experienced Eames may consider buying an Eames reclining chair after using this model.


In addition to the seats, the ride comfort of the new Zeekr 009 also comes from the "Zeekr Magic Carpet Double-Chamber Air Suspension" equipped on the chassis. While supporting CCD electromagnetic shock absorption and intelligent magic carpet functions, it can also increase the ground clearance of the entire vehicle to 172 mm, achieving better passability, comparable to large SUVs.

An Conghui said that the quality of riding is inseparable from the three aspects of road bump filtering, left and right roll suppression, and front and rear pitch suppression:

In these three tests, the performance of Zeekr 009 is better than that of Alpha, which costs 900,000 yuan.


Color TV, sofa and large refrigerator have become standard configuration for Zeekr 009. It has built-in dual 8295 chips, a 17-inch 3K OLED rear screen, and an 8.6-liter constant temperature refrigerator.


In the past, the Zeekr 009’s temperament might have been considered too commercial, and one of the important reasons was that there was no space for a middle aisle in the second row of seats.

Now, in order to achieve "suitable for business and family", Zeekr 009 has added a 7-seat version with a central aisle, and it is known as "Six-seater and seven-seater are equally luxurious."


Compared with the 6-seat version, which has the most spacious second-row seats among luxury MPVs, the 7-seat version also has the most spacious central aisle among luxury MPVs, allowing users with a height of 1.8 meters to pass through more easily.

Moreover, the second-row aviation seats have not made too many compromises and still use the design of aviation seats, and provide the same seat cushion width, the same reclining mode and footrest heating as the six-seat version.


Of course, vehicle safety is also something that luxury car users value very much.

In the past, when MPVs were involved in a series of rear-end collisions with larger vehicles, the casualty rate among passengers was relatively high.


In order to improve the safety performance of the vehicle, the new Zeekr 009 adopts a "double A-pillar" design to resist forward collisions of the vehicle; and an integrated die-cast rear end body is used to resist rear-end collisions of the vehicle.


Thanks to this, the new Zeekr 009 has become the only model in the world that has passed the China Automotive Research Institute's MPV chain rear-end collision extreme safety collision test.


With the newly added standard laser radar for the entire series and the latest generation of Mobileye EVO domain control platform, the new Zeekr 009 has gained the active safety capability of a 720° active safety warning system.

An Conghui also said that the NZP high-speed autonomous navigation assistance function of the new Zeekr 009 will be launched as soon as it is launched on the market, and will cover 95% of domestic cities where users are located.

The Zeekr 009, which pursues luxury, has now become suitable for both business and home use.

In addition to reiterating that Zeekr 009 was the annual sales champion of all categories of MPVs above 500,000 yuan in the Chinese market last year, An Conghui also emphasized that among the owners of Zeekr 009, about 75% of them were upgraded from traditional luxury brands.

These car owners not only have abundant purchasing power, but also have a unique understanding of the word luxury.



It is not difficult to understand why the Zeekr 009 Brilliant Edition, priced at 789,000 yuan, can exceed Zeekr's internal expected monthly production capacity plan (200 to 300 units/month). Three months after its launch, the order volume of the Brilliant Edition has exceeded the original annual production plan.

Overall, the new Zeekr 009 has indeed upgraded more than half of the assembly parts of the entire vehicle. The upgrade is so large that it has naturally become the model with the most complete equipment from the inside out of the Zeekr brand.


Therefore, in addition to the four-seat Brilliant Edition, the new Zeekr 009 attempts to use a seven-seat version to add some home comfort atmosphere on top of its luxurious six-seat business temperament.

With a lower starting price, the new Zeekr 009 is becoming suitable for both business and home use.
