The Zeekr X9 arrives in Spain: this is the new luxury plug-in SUV you can buy now

We knew it would arrive, but now is the time to start booking the new Zeekr X9, the luxury SUV that the Chinese brand is bringing us. The full name of this model is Zeekr X9 Ultra AWD and it has a six-seat capacity. This makes it a very attractive vehicle for families who want to travel in great comfort with premium equipment.

The design was handled by the company’s design department, which is based in Gothenburg, Sweden. In this way, the tastes and needs of European drivers have been taken into account to create a luxury SUV that suits a market as important as Europe.

The model features a design with balanced proportions, with a front end defined by the Waterfall grille and Diamond Starlight Matrix headlights. At the rear, a red light bar runs from side to side. The D-pillar, finished in satin chrome, elegantly connects the bodywork to the roof.

The available colours are Crystal White, Lava Grey and Onyx Black, which allow it to stand out with elegance and recognisable strength alongside other similar models. In addition, its striking look can be enhanced with the optional Black Pack, which adds gloss black finishes.

The interior, also luxurious

The interior seeks to reproduce the luxurious look already visible from the outside. The standard equipment is what we usually see in optional packs, so even from the entry level it sits above any similar SUV. The six seats are arranged in a 2-2-2 configuration, which makes it very practical and promises relaxed, comfortable journeys.

The second row is especially comfortable, as the aim was to create a lounge-style space. It features two individual seats that recline to an angle of 145º and include electric footrests. Both the front seats and the second-row seats include massage, ventilation and heating functions, while the third row offers electric adjustment, heating and backrests reclining up to 135º. Access to this row is provided by an electric sliding system.

The materials have also been chosen to bring warmth to the cabin. Nappa leather and Nordic wood trim create a pleasant atmosphere. They are handcrafted, and this is evident in the finishes. The rotating crystal selector with its carved detailing marks the luxury of the centre console.

Technology to enjoy the journey

The Naim premium sound system is included as standard and uses 32 speakers and eight haptic transducers that let you feel the sound through the seats. On the ceiling there is a 17-inch OLED screen, which unfolds when needed and adjusts to the distance chosen by the occupants. It has a cinema mode, in which privacy blinds close and a shade covers the panoramic roof. In addition, the lights dim to create an immersive experience. Another screen, this one 6.3 inches, allows adjusting the climate control, lighting and entertainment functions.

Two 16-inch OLED screens allow the driver and front passenger to view different applications and services. In front of the driver, there is a 47-inch Head-Up Display that provides all the information to the person at the wheel. There are also physical controls for the main functions, which make it easier to use.

Super Hybrid powertrain

The Super Hybrid powertrain consists of a 2.0-litre combustion engine that acts as a generator and feeds the 55.1 kWh battery. The two motors, one on each axle, deliver 897 CV and a maximum torque of 935 Nm.

It is capable of running in electric mode for 197 kilometres, although the range with a full tank is 737 kilometres. The battery can charge at up to 330 kW, which allows fast charging and avoids petrol consumption. The technology equipment is appropriate for the vehicle’s category, with a top speed of 240 km/h.

Its starting price is also aligned with the vehicle’s category, with a figure starting at 121,500 euros.
