Can This Hybrid Rocket Trail? ZEEKR 9X Power vs. Dirt

The ZEEKR 9X blends supercar shove with trail control. 3 silicon carbide electric motors and a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine combine for up to 1,030 kilowatts, rated at 1,381 horsepower, launching it from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.1 seconds. That speed matters off road too: instant torque and precise pedal mapping let the 9X place its power without wheelspin.

Confidence comes from the chassis. A closed dual chamber air suspension varies ride height and keeps the body level, while dual valve continuous damping and a 48 volt active stabilizer calm ruts and side slopes. With electric torque vectoring across both axles, the 9X can pull itself through loose sand and claw out of tight, off camber turns instead of relying on brake based tricks.

Battery options of 55 or 70 kilowatt hours sit low in the floor, lowering the center of gravity so the big body feels planted on rock steps and washboard. Regenerative braking adds control on steep descents, and multiple drive profiles tailor throttle and suspension for dirt, snow, or slick gravel.
