Here’s the translated and polished English version of the article:The all-new Zeekr 009 Grand Edition has officially debuted in China. This flagship MPV features a luxurious four-seat layout with a range of tailored features and comfort-oriented configurations designed for elite users. With a 0–100 km/h acceleration of just 3.9 seconds, it holds the title of the world’s fastest-accelerating MPV. Additionally, it is the fastest-charging mass-produced electric vehicle globally, making it a true benchmark in the luxury MPV segment.
Exterior Design: Sophistication Meets Technology
The Zeekr 009 Grand Edition is available exclusively in “Midnight Black”, embodying the elegance of a "black knight." Its front fascia replaces the chrome-heavy grille of the standard model with a Dark Badge black grille, giving it a more distinctive and assertive appearance. A lidar system is mounted on the roof to enhance road detection capabilities. Chrome accents are kept to a minimum, appearing only on the front lip and the top of the side panels. Completing the look are 20-inch forged "disc" wheels, inspired by ultra-luxury models like Rolls-Royce and Maybach. At the rear, the car retains the full-width LED taillight design with a prominent “ZEEKR” logo in the center, while gold-plated “Zeekr” and “009 Grand” badging set it apart from the standard version.
Interior and Features: Designed for Executives
The interior largely mirrors the standard Zeekr 009, with features like a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, a 15.05-inch central touchscreen, and a 35.95-inch AR-HUD head-up display. However, the Grand Edition offers a more exclusive four-seat configuration, with two first-class, independently adjustable rear seats. These seats provide 24-way power adjustment, 7-zone graphite heating, and 20-point massage functions, ensuring unparalleled comfort.
Rear passengers also enjoy a 43-inch 4K ultra-wide screen and an 8-inch smart control panel, powered by the ZEEKR OS 6.0 system. The Yamaha premium audio system with 31 speakers delivers a theater-like entertainment experience, while the setup also supports seamless virtual meetings. Additional features include a one-touch privacy mode, LC dimmable privacy glass, and two electronic safes for securely storing valuables—thoughtfully designed for the needs of executives.
Powertrain and Performance: Speed and Range Redefined
The Grand Edition is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, delivering a combined output of 777 hp and 810 Nm of torque. This allows it to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 230 km/h. The MPV features CATL's 108 kWh Qilin battery, providing an impressive 720 km of range (CLTC standard). Moreover, it supports 560 kW DC fast charging, enabling the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 11.5 minutes—a world record for production EVs.
Pricing and Market Positioning
The Zeekr 009 Grand Edition is priced at $112714 (approximately ¥789,000 RMB) in China, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Toyota Alphard, Lexus LM, and the upcoming Volvo EM90 in the luxury MPV segment. Excitingly, Zeekr is expected to launch a right-hand-drive version of the 009 in Southeast Asia later this year. Will the flagship Grand Edition also make its way to this region? We can’t wait to find out.
