Credit: Han Lu<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the five-seat variant of the Zeekr 9X was seen during road tests in China. The brand\u2019s officials officially confirmed that this model is on its roadmap. It will become available for pre-orders on July 8. More details about this version have yet to be released. However, Zeekr stated on social media that the new model will \u201cinherit the flagship genes of the 9-Series, redefining the five-seater luxury experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the segment of five-seat full-size crossovers is becoming crowded in China. Previously, <a href=\"https:\/\/carnewschina.com\/2026\/05\/28\/hima-launches-new-m9-in-china-up-to-890-hp-starting-from-70600-usd\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aito<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/carnewschina.com\/2026\/04\/28\/lynk-co-900-five-seat-suv-launches-in-china-with-1363-km-range-from-37328-usd\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lynk &amp; Co<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/carnewschina.com\/2026\/06\/24\/li-auto-launches-2026-l8-erev-with-5c-battery-and-emb-in-china-starting-from-52900-usd\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Li Auto<\/a>, and other automakers introduced their models to fight for the market share.<\/p>\n<p>More about the Zeekr 9X<\/p>\n<p>Judging from the image released by Zeekr, we can assume that the five-seat version didn\u2019t change much in terms of specs and exterior styling. The 9X is a full-size SUV with dimensions of 5239\/2029\/1819 mm. Its wheelbase reaches 3,169 mm. For clarity, it is 32 mm longer, 75 mm wider, and 4 mm lower than the Mercedes-Benz GLS.<\/p>\n<p>The Zeekr 9X comes standard with a plug-in hybrid system, which comprises a 2-liter engine and a couple of electric motors. The combined power output of the system is 660 kW (885 hp). It speeds up to 100 km\/h in 3.9 seconds. Two battery options are available for this powertrain: 55 kWh for 300 km EV range (CLTC conditions) and 70 kWh for 380 km EV range.<\/p>\n<p>The top-trim Zeekr 9X adopts a tri-motor setup for 1,030 kW (1,381 hp). It can run up to 355 km on a single charge and speed up to 100 km\/h in 3.1 seconds. Other highlights of the Zeekr 9X include the G-ASD H9 assisted driving system for 1,400 TOPS, an active 48V anti-roll bar, and dual-chamber air suspension.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x-25-800x450.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"261185\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x-25-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Zeekr 9X dominates the high-end SUV segment in China\" class=\"wp-image-261185\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x-24-800x450.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"261186\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x-24-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261186\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x_launch-4-800x450.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"240180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x_launch-4-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240180\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x-26-800x450.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"261187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x-26-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-261187\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x_launch-3-800x450.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"240179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/zeekr_9x_launch-3-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240179\"  \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe Zeekr 9X crossover.
