Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On March 10, ZEEKR, the premium new energy vehicle brand under Geely Holding, released the first official video of its upcoming flagship SUV, the ZEEKR 9X Grand.
Positioned as the top-tier version of the 9X series, the Grand edition follows the naming structure seen in models like the ZEEKR 009 and 009 Grand.
Though still wrapped in camouflage, the video offers a glimpse into the 9X's bold and rugged design. The SUV features a boxy silhouette, an upright front fascia, and a prominent vertical grille, flanked by split-design headlights. Muscular contour lines on the hood further enhance its commanding presence.
The elongated and stately profile, estimated to measure around 5.3 meters, exudes a Rolls-Royce Cullinan-inspired elegance. The side design is clean and sculpted, with ultra-thin LiDAR sensors seamlessly integrated into the body, balancing aesthetics and advanced functionality.
While specific details remain under wraps, previous reports suggest that the ZEEKR 9X, internally codenamed EX1E, will be ZEEKR's first model to feature NVIDIA's Thor chip. It will also incorporate a split tailgate design similar to the Lynk & Co 900.
Built on Geely's SEA-R platform, the ZEEKR 9X will be available in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and battery electric vehicle (EV) variants. The PHEV version is expected to pair a 2.0T engine with multiple electric motors, supported by a high-capacity 60 kWh battery with ultra-fast charging capabilities. Additionally, the SUV will come equipped with air suspension and rear-wheel steering, offering a blend of luxury, comfort, and versatility. With pricing set to rival the AITO M9, the 9X is shaping up to be ZEEKR's most advanced SUV yet.
