Zeekr, a premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand under Geely Group, made its debut in 2021, aiming to position itself as a leader in the high-end electric vehicle market. Since its launch, the brand has expanded its lineup to include a range of models such as the Zeekr 001 liftback, Zeekr 009 minivan, Zeekr X crossover, and the Zeekr 007 sedan. Among these, the Zeekr 009 Grand minivan, also known as the Zeekr 009 Glory Edition in China, recently achieved a significant milestone. The company announced that it had delivered 1,000 units of this four-seat luxury MPV in China.
The Zeekr 009 Grand was officially launched on April 19, with deliveries beginning on May 19. Within just 115 days, Zeekr successfully delivered 1,000 units of the 009 Grand, setting a record for the fastest delivery time for a luxury minivan with four seats. This vehicle is primarily targeted at affluent businesspeople seeking both comfort and performance in their transportation. Notably, the 1,000th unit of the Zeekr 009 Grand was delivered to Tian Liang, a former Olympic diving champion, and his wife, singer Ye Yiqian, highlighting the vehicle's appeal among high-profile clientele.
The Zeekr 009 Grand is an all-electric minivan built on Geely’s SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform, which also supports other models in the Zeekr lineup. This luxury MPV stands out with its sleek black exterior and 20-inch chrome-plated rims. Its impressive dimensions—5,217 mm in length, 2,024 mm in width, and 1,812 mm in height—along with a wheelbase of 3,205 mm, give it a commanding presence on the road. Inside, the vehicle features a four-seat configuration in a 2+2 layout, with the second-row seats separated by a large center console. A standout feature of the interior is the massive 43-inch screen, which adds to the vehicle's high-tech and luxurious atmosphere.
Performance-wise, the Zeekr 009 Grand is powered by an 800V dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system. The front motor produces 362 horsepower, while the rear motor delivers 415 horsepower, bringing the combined output to an impressive 580 kW, or 777 horsepower. This powerhouse enables the minivan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The vehicle also boasts a peak torque of 810 Nm, ensuring both speed and smooth handling. The Zeekr 009 Grand is equipped with a 108 kWh ternary NMC battery pack, offering an impressive range of up to 702 kilometers on a single charge, making it not only a luxury vehicle but also a highly efficient electric option.
The Zeekr 009 Grand is priced at $111,200, reflecting its premium status in the market. The company’s ability to deliver 1,000 units in just over three months underscores the growing demand for luxury electric vehicles in China, especially those catering to the business elite. This rapid delivery timeline is particularly notable given the vehicle’s high price point and niche target audience. Zeekr’s success with the 009 Grand marks an important milestone for the brand as it continues to solidify its position in the competitive luxury NEV market.
