Zeekr 9X SUV Reveal – Mind-Blowing Hybrid Tech and 360° Sensors

The Zeekr 9X is setting the stage for what might be one of the most exciting entries in the luxury electric sport utility vehicle space. As the newest flagship from Zeekr, a premium electric vehicle brand under the Geely Holding Group, the 9X takes a bold step forward with a completely fresh design language and impressive new technology. Scheduled to make its public debut at Auto Shanghai 2025, this model is expected to redefine what luxury electric mobility can feel like.

Right off the bat, the Zeekr 9X looks powerful without trying too hard. Its upright design, squared shoulders, and massive presence make it look like it belongs in the top tier of the segment. At the front, a large grille with vertical chrome bars gives it a serious face, pulling some inspiration from the Zeekr 009 multipurpose vehicle but adding more elegance. The rear features a unique full-width light bar called the “Ring Screen Star Diamond,” containing an incredible 43,343 diamond-cut facets that light up in spectacular fashion.

What sets the 9X apart is not just design, but technology. It will be the first to feature Zeekr’s new G-Pilot driving system. Built on a Level 3 autonomous driving platform and powered by the ZEEA 3.0 central computing architecture, this setup reportedly improves response times by 50 percent. The system is supported by five LiDAR sensors, including one long-range unit and four for blind spots, giving the vehicle a full 360-degree awareness.

Performance-wise, Zeekr is introducing its Super Electric Hybrid technology with the 9X. This system blends the benefits of pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and range-extending tech to create a unique driving experience. The company claims it can go from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just the 3-second range.

In terms of pricing, the Zeekr 9X is expected to start around 500,000 yuan, roughly 68,000 United States dollars, while a high-spec “Grand Edition” might reach 1 million yuan or about 136,000 United States dollars.
