Zeekr 9X Debuts With 900V Power And Ultra-Fast Charging
9x 3
Shanghai, 29 September 2025. Zeekr has rolled out its new flagship SUV, the 9X, and it is not shy about making a fuss. Built on the SEA-S platform, this is a big, confident machine that aims to mix supercar acceleration with proper SUV practicality. It looks the part and, crucially, the numbers back it up.
Performance And Charging
Under the skin sits a 900V high-voltage architecture and the SEA Super Hybrid system that can produce up to 1,000 kW. Yes, one thousand kilowatts. That translates to a 0–100 km/h sprint in 3.1 seconds, while the pure electric range is quoted at 380 km CLTC. If you worry about spending hours at a charger, relax: the 9X claims 20–80% charging in just 8.5 minutes. It is the sort of rapid-refill trick that makes long trips plausible without the usual faff.
Chassis And Handling
Zeekr calls its setup the Haohan AI Digital Chassis, which combines advanced air suspension, active roll control and selectable smart drive modes. The aim is simple: float like a limo on motorways, and stay firm and confident when the road deteriorates. In practice it promises the kind of composure you want from a heavy luxury SUV without turning every corner into a drama.
Safety First
Safety is taken seriously. The Haohan Safety Armor reportedly cleared a four-way crash test at 105 km/h, a first of its kind, and the 9X adds electronic protections such as crosswind control, a side-impact lift function and automatic obstacle avoidance. In short, it has active and passive systems designed to keep both occupants and the vehicle in one piece when things go wrong.
Interior And Luxury
Inside is a three-row, six-seat layout with Cloud Lounge seats and an emphasis on space and comfort. There is an electric split tailgate for practicality, a large 17-inch OLED screen for tech and a 3,800W Naim audio system to make the cabin sound as lavish as it looks. Think of it as a proper luxury theatre on wheels, but with enough room to bring a family and their luggage.
Pricing And Availability
Zeekr has priced the 9X launch models between RMB 465,900 and RMB 599,900, with customer deliveries starting immediately. It is a bold statement: fast, roomy, and loaded with tech. Whether you think it is brilliant or slightly indulgent will come down to how much you like speed, silence and a very comfortable set of seats.
