2026 Zeekr 009
The landscape of luxury electric MPVs is about to shift again. According to the latest regulatory filings from China’s NEV tax exemption catalog, the updated Zeekr 009 is set to arrive in Q2 2026 with massive hardware upgrades. Featuring a full-stack 900V high-voltage system and the next-generation NVIDIA Thor-U driving chip, the new Zeekr 009 aims to solidify its position as the most advanced electric minivan in the world.
Power and Range – Efficiency Meets Performance
The 2026 Zeekr 009 introduces two significant battery and powertrain configurations designed for long-distance luxury travel:
- 2WD (Single Motor) Version: Delivering a powerful 310 kW output, paired with a 108 kWh battery, it offers a CLTC pure electric range of 740 km.
- 4WD (Dual Motor) Version: Boasting a combined output of 680 kW (310 kW front / 370 kW rear), paired with a 115 kWh battery, it provides a CLTC range of 720 km.
With the shift to the 900V platform, users can expect significantly faster charging curves and improved energy efficiency over the previous generation.
Next-Level Intelligence and Chassis Tech
Zeekr is doubling down on smart driving. The new model will be equipped with the NVIDIA Thor-U chip, providing the massive computing power required for high-level autonomous driving features. To complement this, the roof-mounted LiDAR has been upgraded for better precision.
In terms of ride comfort, the Zeekr 009 remains a benchmark. It comes standard with:
- CCD Electromagnetic Vibration Dampening.
- Dual-Chamber Air Suspension, ensuring a “magic carpet” ride for all passengers.
Refined Design and Interior Layout
While the iconic silhouette remains, the 2026 model features subtle aesthetic refinements. The fog light area has been redesigned with new trim styles, and the overall look is more streamlined.
- Dimensions: 5,217 / 2,024 / 1,812 mm (L/W/H).
- Wheelbase: 3,205 mm.
- Seating: Available in versatile 6-seat and 7-seat layouts, with a hyper-luxurious 4-seat “Executive” version expected to follow.
