Zeekr launches European reservations for its spectacular 9X, a hybrid SUV with 897 hp that aims to play boldly in the ultra-luxury arena.
After unveiling its new flagship model, Zeekr is getting serious. Since August 11, the Zeekr 9X has been officially available for reservation in Europe, with an initial allocation limited to just 200 units. To join the waiting list, a deposit of 1,000 euros is required, which is fully refundable. The first deliveries are expected between December 2026 and February 2027.
One significant unknown remains: the price of the Zeekr 9X, which will be announced soon. However, its technical specifications leave little doubt about its positioning.

Measuring 5.24 m in length and weighing 2.9 tons empty, the 9X accommodates six occupants in a 2+2+2 configuration. Its “Super Hybrid” engine combines a 2.0 turbo four-cylinder with two electric motors. The total output is 897 hp, transmitted to all four wheels, enabling a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in an impressive 4.1 seconds.
Its 55.1 kWh battery would allow for up to 179 km in 100% electric mode, while the combined range would reach 737 km. Thanks to its 900 V architecture, Zeekr primarily claims a recharge from 10 to 80% in just 9.5 minutes.
Inside, Zeekr has clearly not skimped on luxury. Rear seats with leg rests, massage, heating, and ventilation, Nappa leather, a retractable 17-inch rear OLED screen, dual 16-inch front screens, a 47-inch heads-up display, and a Naim audio system with 32 speakers make for an impressive inventory.

However, the real challenge starts now. Zeekr, the premium brand of the Chinese Geely Group, has the technology and offerings to concern European benchmarks. But as we already pointed out during its presentation, luxury can be created much faster than prestige. With the 9X, Zeekr will be able to verify if European customers are ready to make a distinction.
