The Zeekr 009, a colossal electric vehicle measuring 5.2 meters in length, is making waves ahead of its arrival in Australia later this year. This massive luxury people mover, known for its unique interior and powerful performance, is set to compete with high-end models like the Lexus LM and LDV Mifa 9.
While Australia won’t be receiving the exclusive four-seat version, the market will have access to the six or seven-seat variants. The Zeekr 009 is powered by a 140 kWh battery, offering a remarkable driving range of over 800 kilometers. To put it into perspective, the battery is nearly twice the size of those found in Tesla’s Model Y. Despite its nearly three-ton weight, the Zeekr 009 boasts impressive acceleration, reaching 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, making it one of the fastest luxury people movers on the market.
Inside, the Zeekr 009 offers a lavish experience, resembling a rolling IMAX theater. The front seats feature soft-touch materials and an array of screens, providing passengers with a top-tier entertainment setup. Although the vehicle doesn’t come with the massive screen found in other models, it includes a retractable TV from the roof and a small fridge to keep drinks cool during long drives. An interesting touch is the inclusion of a clock on the door, adding a quirky yet convenient feature.
As Zeekr 009 joins the new wave of luxury people movers in Australia, it’s expected to carry a hefty price tag, with starting prices likely to exceed $100,000. The vehicle is set to hit the Australian market in the fourth quarter of this year.
