Overview

edit

The Zeekr 009 electric minivan was first shown online in August 2022.[4] Deliveries of the 009 began in the first quarter of 2023 in China.[5] It is based on the Geely Sustainable Experience Architecture 1 platform (SEA) for electric vehicles, which is also used by the Zeekr 001 as well as the Lotus Eletre and Polestar 5.[6]

Geely is using a Giga Press-like large aluminum die casts to produce a large rear underbody section of the vehicle, measuring 1.4 m (4.6 ft) long and 1.6 m (5.2 ft) wide, reducing the number of welding points by almost 800.[7][8]

The 009 has six seats in a 2-2-2 layout. The vehicle is equipped with a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel and a 15.4-inch central LCD touchscreen, which are both powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 CPU. It is also equipped with a roof-mounted 15.6-inch LCD rear screen, and a Yamaha sound system consisting of 20 speakers.[9]

Zeekr 009 Grand

edit

On April 19, 2024, the Zeekr 009 Grand (009 光辉) was launched in China. The 009 Grand has a four-seats 2-2 layout and is equipped with 800V high-voltage system, 108-degree CATL Qilin battery, magic carpet dual-chamber air suspension, dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 CPU and other configurations.[10][11]

On May 24, 2024, Zeekr 009 Grand officially started delivery at Zeekr factory in Ningbo.[12]

Powertrain

edit

The Zeekr 009 has two electric motors that produce a total output of 400 kW (536 hp; 544 PS) and is the first vehicle to use CATL's Qilin cell-to-pack battery.[13][14] Zeekr claims the 009 is able to accelerate 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 190 km/h (120 mph).[6]

The minivan is available in China in two different grades, the WE Edition and the ME Edition. The WE Edition is equipped with a 116 kWh CATL NCM battery pack, while the ME Edition uses a 140 kWh CATL Qilin battery pack.[15]
