ZEEKR 9X Flagship SUV Revealed with Thor Chips, 3-Second Acceleration, and 380km EV Range

ZEEKR 9X: A Glimpse into China's Ultimate Full-Size Luxury Electric SUV

Design Inspired by Royal Grandeur

The recently revealed ZEEKR 9X, dubbed by enthusiasts as the "Cullinan of Hangzhou Bay," has made a bold entrance into the luxury electric SUV segment. The vehicle’s imposing exterior features one of the largest integrated grilles in the market, inspired by the architectural bases of royal palaces. Adding to its majestic presence is a 2.15 square meter clamshell hood—the largest ever on an SUV—complemented by a matrix LED light cluster designed to resemble a celestial starfield.

Luxury Dimensions and Prestigious Details

The ZEEKR 9X meets full-size SUV classification with dimensions that include a length exceeding 5.2 meters, a width over 2 meters, and a height of more than 1.8 meters, along with a nearly 3.2-meter wheelbase. These specs position it squarely in the ultra-premium segment. Enhancing its luxurious appeal, the vehicle is equipped with 22-inch mirror-finished forged wheels and boasts the widest rear door among new energy SUVs—over 1 meter wide—with a door swing angle greater than 80 degrees for effortless ingress and egress.

Unique Lighting and Exterior Finishes

Adding a futuristic edge, the ZEEKR 9X showcases ring-shaped taillights with independently controllable upper and lower light sources, contributing to a visually distinct lighting signature. From every angle, the vehicle asserts a strong and modern presence that aligns with the brand's luxury EV positioning.

Next-Generation Autonomous Driving Technology

One of the most compelling features of the ZEEKR 9X is its advanced autonomous driving platform. Built on the "Qianli Haohan H9" architecture, the SUV debuts globally with dual NVIDIA Thor chips and five integrated lidar sensors. With a staggering computing power of 1400 TOPS, the 9X supports L3-level autonomous driving capabilities, placing it at the forefront of intelligent vehicle technology.

High-Performance Hybrid Electric Powertrain

Under the hood, the ZEEKR 9X utilizes the powerful Haohan hybrid platform. The internal combustion engine is a 2.0T unit producing a peak output of 205 kW. It’s matched with dual electric motors—290 kW at the front and 370 kW at the rear—enabling the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3 seconds. This performance level rivals some of the world’s most elite electric SUVs.

Efficient Charging and Extended Range

Supporting fast and practical charging, the ZEEKR 9X features CATL’s 6C "Xiaoyao" battery pack. Charging from 20% to 80% state of charge takes just 9 minutes. Despite its size and luxury features, the SUV still offers a solid CLTC-rated all-electric driving range of 380 km.

As ZEEKR positions the 9X for a premium global launch, the blend of cutting-edge design, high-end luxury, and technical innovation makes this vehicle a key contender in the high-performance electric SUV market.
