ZeeKr announces tech event for their upcoming hybrid SUV, the 9X, on July 9. The formal launch is expected in Q3. (Twitter update)
The Zeekr 9X, a luxurious SUV built with the latest native new energy architecture, made its global debut on April 23. This innovative vehicle, listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol ZK, is set to redefine the hybrid market with its groundbreaking powertrain.
At the heart of the Zeekr 9X lies the CATL Freevoy battery, a hybrid vehicle battery launched by CATL in October 2024. This technology offers an electric range exceeding 400 kilometers, putting it on par with battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and supports fast charging at a rate of 4C. The Zeekr 9X, however, takes it a step further, featuring a 6C charging capability, allowing a full charge in approximately ten minutes, although the exact energy capacity has not been disclosed.
The powertrain of the Zeekr 9X combines the advantages of BEVs and PHEVs, delivering disruptive innovation in performance, efficiency, and overall driving experience. This hybrid powertrain, which includes the CATL Freevoy battery powering dual electric motors alongside a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, enables the Zeekr 9X to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3 seconds, redefining high-performance electric driving.
The Zeekr 9X is also equipped with advanced L3 driving capabilities, featuring five LiDAR sensors. It will be the first to feature Zeekr's latest G-Pilot H9 autonomous driving system, equipped with dual Nvidia Thor chips and having 1,400 TOPS of computing power.
The tech showcase event for the Zeekr 9X is scheduled for July 9 at 7:00 pm Beijing Time. This event promises to reveal multiple cutting-edge technologies, including super hybrid and intelligent chassis technologies. Additionally, the Zeekr 9X's dual-chamber air suspension and active stabilizer bar ensure comfort and agility, setting new standards in the luxury SUV segment.
With its impressive battery technology, innovative powertrain, and cutting-edge autonomous driving capabilities, the Zeekr 9X is poised to shake up the hybrid market. The first hybrid model from Zeekr is set to launch in the third quarter with an expected starting price of approximately RMB 600,000 ($83,550). Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new vehicle.
