The Zeekr 9X (Chinese: 极氪9X; pinyin: Jíkè 9X) is a plug-in hybrid three-row six-seater full-size luxury crossover SUV to be marketed by Zeekr in 2025. It is the brand's first plug-in hybrid vehicle, as previous Zeekr models are purely electric.[2][3]
Overview
The Zeekr 9X was first revealed at Auto Shanghai 2025, with pre-orders expected to open at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2025. It is Zeekr's flagship SUV and is the brand's first plug-in hybrid. It is based on the SEA-S (Haohan-S) modular architecture, is the first to use the ZEEA 3.0 electronics architecture, and uses the SEA Hybrid (Haohan Hybrid) system which provides a large battery capacity and fast charging.[4]
91% of the 9X's chassis is composed of high-strength steel and aluminum, and features 10 structural beams with over 2,000 MPa (290 thousand psi) of tensile strength, allowing for a torsional rigidity of 41,600 Nm/degree. It is equipped with dual-chamber air suspension, dual-valve continuous damping control, and a 48V active anti-roll bar system. The air suspension has 110 mm (4 in) of total ride height adjustment for a maximum of 288 mm (11 in) of ground clearance, and can rise by 30 mm (1 in) in 7 seconds.[4]
The 9X is available with a 3-row 2+2+2 6-seater layout. The front seats have speakers integrated into their headrests, and the second row seats have a 'zero-gravity' recline mode with extending footrests.[4]
The 9X is equipped with Zeekr's G-Pilot H9 (Qianli Haohan H9) ADAS system, the first vehicle to do so, and consists of a 43-sensor suite: a roof-mounted 520-line long-range front-facing LiDAR; a total of 4 wide-angle solid-state LiDARs on each front fender, front bumper, and rear spoiler; 3 mmWave radars; and 13 cameras. It uses two redundant Nvidia Thor-U SoCs for a total of 1,400 TOPS. Zeekr claims the system has industry-first features such as General Automated Evasion System (G-AES) and full-capacity Vehicle-to-Parking (V2P) self driving, and says the system is L3 ready.[5] Base versions of the 9X will be equipped with the G-Pilot H7 system, which uses fewer sensors and uses a single Nvidia Thor-U SoC for 700 TOPS.[4][6]

Powertrain
The Zeekr 9X is available exclusively as a plug-in hybrid, using the SEA Hybrid (Haohan Hybrid) system and 900-volt silicon carbide power electronics.[4]
It uses a 1,974 cc (1.974 L; 120.5 cu in) turbocharged inline-four petrol engine which outputs 275 hp (205 kW; 279 PS) and has a claimed peak thermal efficiency over 46%. It is equipped with a 290 kW (389 hp; 394 PS) motor powering the front wheels and two 370 kW (496 hp; 503 PS) motors powering each rear wheel, for a total combined output of 1,030 kW (1,381 hp; 1,400 PS). It achieves a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 3.1 seconds, and a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). Zeekr claims that the difference in 0–100 km/h (62 mph) times when the battery is fully discharged will be 0.2 seconds slower than when at full charge.[4][7][6][8]
The 9X is available with a choice of two battery packs, a base 55.1 kWh pack providing up to 235 km (146 mi) of CLTC range, or a 70 kWh NMC pack supplied by CATL which provides 302 km (188 mi) of range. The 70 kWh pack is capable of 6C charging from 20–80% in 9 minutes.[4][7][8]
