Tech event announced for Zeekr's hybrid SUV, the 9our X, detailed on their Twitter profile on July 9th. Official launch scheduled for Q3.
The Zeekr 9our X, a hybrid vehicle that promises to redefine high-performance electric driving, made its global debut at the Shanghai auto show on April 23, 2025. This ground-breaking SUV, developed by Zeekr, a company listed on the NYSE under the symbol ZK, showcases several advanced technologies that set it apart from its competitors.
The powertrain of the Zeekr 9X combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine with an output power of 205 kW, along with front and rear electric motors. This innovative setup merges the benefits of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids, delivering disruptive innovation in performance, efficiency, and overall driving experience. The result is an impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3 seconds, redefining high-performance electric driving.
The Zeekr 9our X's battery range exceeds 380 kilometers, thanks to CATL's Freevoy Battery. Launched in October 2024, this battery technology offers over 400 kilometers of range and supports fast charging at 4C. This aims to deliver an experience similar to that of a pure BEV.
The Zeekr 9our X is also the first to feature Zeekr’s G-Pilot H9 autonomous driving system. Powered by dual Nvidia Thor chips with 1,400 TOPS (trillion operations per second) computing power—double that of Tesla's AI4 chip—it includes five LiDAR sensors, 13 cameras, and multiple mmWave radars. These advanced components enable Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities, setting a new standard in autonomous driving technology.
To ensure comfort and agility, the Zeekr 9our X employs a dual-chamber air suspension along with an active stabilizer bar. This combination provides both responsive handling and a smooth ride, enhancing the overall driving experience.
Zeekr will showcase multiple cutting-edge technologies at an upcoming tech event on July 9, 7:00 pm Beijing Time, including the Zeekr 9our X. The SUV is expected to officially launch in the third quarter with an estimated starting price of about RMB 600,000 ($83,550). The company has also been developing a Tesla-style ultra-fast charging network with extensive ultra-fast 800V and fast chargers, supporting the vehicle’s fast charging capability and enhancing user convenience.
Zeekr describes the Zeekr 9our X as "built with the best native new energy architecture, the most luxurious SUV of the new energy era" on Weibo. With its impressive performance, extended hybrid range, cutting-edge autonomous driving features, and user comfort, it's no wonder that the Zeekr 9our X is generating excitement in the automotive industry.
