Zeekr, Geely Auto’s premium electric vehicle brand, has unveiled an updated version of its flagship 009 MPV. The refreshed model introduces significant upgrades, including a new 900-volt high-voltage architecture for higher-tier trims and faster charging capabilities. The 009 continues to target high-end buyers with advanced technology and luxury features.
Three Trim Levels and Seating Options
The updated Zeekr 009 is available in three trims: the seven-seat Ultra, seven-seat Ultra+ Family, and six-seat Ultra+ Executive. Buyers can choose between six- and seven-seat configurations, catering to both family and executive transport needs.

Performance and Charging Upgrades
The base seven-seat Ultra version features an 800-volt high-voltage architecture, a 310 kW single motor, and a 108 kWh CATL Qilin Battery. This configuration delivers a CLTC combined range of 740 km (~460 miles) and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. Charging from 10% to 80% takes just 11.5 minutes.
Higher-tier Ultra+ and Executive trims are upgraded to a 900-volt high-voltage system and a 680 kW dual-motor setup. These versions use a 115 kWh Qilin Battery, offer a range of 720 km (~447 miles), and achieve 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Charging from 10% to 80% is reduced to 10 minutes.
