Zeekr 9X Five-Seat Version Pre-sale Starts July 8: Flagship Luxury Evolves, Current Model from ¥465,900

Zeekr 9X Pre-sale has officially been announced to kick off on July 8 for its new five-seat version, the new variant inherits the full flagship DNA of the 9 Series, with a mission to redefine the five-seat luxury experience. For reference, the current Zeekr 9X is offered exclusively in a six-seat layout, priced between ¥465,900 and ¥599,900 (approximately $64,000–$82,000 USD).

Flagship Proportions, Commanding Presence

Built on the SEA-S (Sustainable Experience Architecture – Scalable) platform, the Zeekr 9X measures 5,239 mm in length, 2,029 mm in width, and 1,819 mm in height, with a massive wheelbase of 3,169 mm – placing it firmly in the upper echelon of large SUVs in terms of road presence and interior volume. The current six-seat model comes standard with second-row zero-gravity seats, featuring a one-touch zero-gravity mode for ultimate relaxation, along with three distinct modes: “Eames Lounge Chair,” “Swivel Seat,” and “Professional Massage Chair.” The second-row seats can rotate 180° to face the third row, with dual massage techniques (tapping and kneading) for a first-class cabin experience.

With the arrival of the five-seat version, rear-seat space is set to expand even further – without the third row, second-row passengers will enjoy significantly more legroom, while cargo capacity also sees a substantial boost. Luxury and comfort have been elevated to an entirely new level.

Super Hybrid Powertrain: 900V Architecture + 6C Ultra-Fast Charging

The powertrain is where the Zeekr 9X truly flexes its muscles. The vehicle is equipped with Zeekr’s Super Hybrid system, supporting a 900V high-voltage hybrid architecture. It features a dedicated 2.0T super hybrid engine producing 205 kW, paired with dual electric motors (290 kW front / 370 kW rear) for a combined system output of a staggering 1,030 kW. This propels the 5.2-meter-plus SUV from 0-100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds – supercar-level performance in a full-size luxury SUV.

Range and charging capability are equally impressive. The 9X debuts a 70 kWh 6C hybrid battery, delivering a CLTC pure-electric range of 380 km, and supports a 6C charging rate that replenishes 20% to 80% in just 9 minutes – effectively eliminating range anxiety. For intelligent driving, buyers can choose between the Qianli Haohan H7 and H9 ADAS packages, catering to varying levels of autonomous driving needs.

Market Outlook: Can the Five-Seat Version Replicate Success?

The current six-seat Zeekr 9X has already carved out a strong position in the large luxury SUV segment. The five-seat version expands the brand’s addressable market – particularly appealing to buyers who don’t need a third row but demand even greater rear-seat opulence. With its class-leading performance, ultra-fast charging capabilities, and Zeekr’s rapidly ascending premium brand image, the five-seat 9X is poised to become a dark horse in the ¥500,000-level luxury SUV segment.
