Zeekr 009 electric luxury MPV makes its way to Malaysia – from RM349,800
In addition to the X, Zeekr Malaysia has also launched a luxury MPV set to compete in the local EV market – the Zeekr 009.
The newcomer is poised to compete with popular models such as the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire, the Maxus Mifa 9, as well as upcoming models like the GWM Wey 80 and the Denza D9.
The 009 is available in two variants, namely Luxury and Ultra Luxury. The former is a seven-seater with a 2-2-3 seating configuration while the latter has six seats in a 2-2-2 layout.
Regardless of the chosen variant, the 009 is powered by a pair of electric motors that produce a total output of 603 hp and 693 Nm of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
The 116 kWh battery pack offers a range of up to 582 km (WLTP cycle) and supports DC fast charging at 150 kW, enabling charging from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes.
The driving experience of the Zeekr 009 is enhanced by a double-wishbone multilink suspension system, electromagnetic air suspension, and automatic leveling functions, alongside matrix LED headlights with adaptive driving beam (ADB) functionality and smart zone lighting.
Inside, you will find a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, a 15.05-inch infotainment screen, a 35.95-inch augmented reality head-up display, a 17-inch OLED roof screen, a Yamaha audio system, 50W wireless device charging, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and up to 9 USB-C ports.
The driver and front passenger seats feature 12-way adjustment with massage, ventilation, and memory functions.
Second-row passengers enjoy Sofaro First Class Aeronautics seats with an Ultra Long Electric Slide Rail function extending 1.1 metres, adjustable leg rests, and ventilation, massage, and memory functions. There’s also a 8.6-litre fridge with cooling and warming functions.
For safety, the 009 includes an ADAS system featuring lane centering control (LCC), adaptive cruise control (ACC), forward (CMSF) and rear collision mitigation support (CMSR), lane departure avoidance, blind spot detection (BSD), door opening warnings, and a driver performance monitoring system (DPM).
The 009 Luxury is priced at RM349,800, while the Ultra Luxury version costs RM359,800. Like the X, the 009 comes with a five-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty.
Also included is 6GB of free internet data for two years, which provides access to the Zeekr app, onboard navigation, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
The first 500 buyers of the 009 will receive an exclusive package that includes a home charger, a mobile charger, and solar film.
Life’s too short to argue about which car is the best. Drive whatever you like, as long as you’re happy with it.
