Recently, Zeekr unveiled a set of high‑resolution official images of the new Zeekr 9X, which is slated to debut at the Shanghai Auto Show and enter the market in the third quarter. As Zeekr’s first plug‑in hybrid model, the 9X will launch with the brand’s “Zeekr Super Electric Hybrid” technology and introduce a premium “9X Glorious Edition.” Pricing is expected to start at RMB 1 million (approximately $140,845), joining the Zeekr 009 Glorious Edition to form Zeekr’s new “Glorious Family.”
 

Zeekr 9X Exterior Design

The 2025 Zeekr 9X Glorious Edition features a striking black‑and‑gold two‑tone finish, achieved through an expensive gilding process that underscores its luxury status. Up front, it retains the family‑signature grille flanked by the “Star‑Diamond” matrix LED headlights, giving it a bold yet refined look. The roof also reserves space for a LiDAR unit to support advanced driver‑assist functions.
 

Viewed in profile, the 9X Glorious Edition cleverly integrates flush door handles with its LiDAR sensors. Its large rear quarter windows and robust C‑pillars convey strength, while the “big‑disc” style wheels—common on luxury vehicles—add a sense of solidity and motion to the car’s stance.

At the rear, a full‑width “Star‑Diamond” LED light bar incorporates 43,343 diamond‑cut facets, delivering a highly distinctive glow. The wing‑shaped “Star‑Diamond” matrix taillights echo the front headlights’ design language. Additional touches include a panorama “sky door” and “scenic‑view” seats, and the overall length exceeds 5.2 meters, ensuring a spacious, upmarket cabin.
 

Zeekr 9X Intelligent Driving

The 9X Glorious Edition will be the first to deploy Zeekr’s “Thousand‑Mile Vast H9” intelligent driving solution, built on the brand’s Level 3 ADAS architecture and powered by the ZEEA 3.0 centralized digital platform. End‑to‑end response times are improved by 50%. Its sensor suite includes five LiDAR units—one long‑range and four short‑range—ensuring robust perception in high‑speed and complex driving scenarios.
 

Zeekr 9X Powertrain

Underpinning its hybrid system, Zeekr’s Super Electric Hybrid technology blends the advantages of pure electric, plug‑in hybrid, and range‑extended configurations. According to Zeekr, this system delivers “the strongest pure‑electric performance” and “the most capable hybrid efficiency,” offering breakthroughs in power, economy, and driver experience. It promises to redefine expectations for next‑generation new energy vehicles.
