Zeekr, the luxury brand of China’s Geely, has launched in the Philippines its flagship model—the 009.
The brand distributed by the Autohub Group, which counts Mini and Lotus under its automotive umbrella.
“Since its premiere in late 2022, the Zeekr 009, a six-seater pure electric multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), has revolutionized the once-staid segment, establishing itself as the new benchmark through its avant-garde design, cutting-edge technology, and superior performance,” Zeekr said in its website.
For the Philippines, two variants will be offered: the seven-seater variant priced that will sell for P4.199 million; and the more luxurious six-seater offered at P4.399 million.
Equipped with silicon-carbide-powered e-motors, the top-tier variant of the all-new Zeekr 009 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 3.9 seconds, which is already the realm of sportscar performance.
The dual-motor all-wheel drive setup produces 777 horsepower and a whopping 810 Newton-meters of torque. Its range is a bit over 700 kilometers.
Beyond the more powerful e-powertrain, the chassis of all-new Zeekr 009 has also been thoroughly upgraded. A dual-chamber air suspension system, paired with CCD dampers, now comes as standard on the all-new Zeekr 009, providing a perfect blend of absolute comfort and ultimate driving pleasure.
The dual-motor setup produces 777 horsepower and a whopping 810 Newton-meters of torque, and its range is a bit over 700 kilometers. And all that power is transmitted to all four wheels.
In 2022, the Zeekr 009 Grand raised the bar for backseat opulence, and the 009 continues this tradition of luxurious comfort in the second row. The seats, upholstered in the finest NAPPA leather, offer an exquisite tactile experience.
“These warm and receptive seats are equipped with ventilation, massage and heating functions. What truly distinguishes the all-009 is its exclusive “lounge chair” mode. Inspired by the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, this feature allows passengers to fully stretch out their legs with a leg bolster that elevates to horizontal status, offering a perfect remedy for travel fatigue,” Zeekr said in its website.
Also, the 009’s infotainment system features a 15.05-inch OLED screen with 2.5k resolution in the front, and a 17-inch OLED screen with 3k resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate in the back. Coupled with a Yamaha surround sound system, the vehicle delivers an utterly immersive audio-visual experience.
Top-notch technologies are a hallmark of the all-new Zeekr 009. Now powered by the large language model Zeekr’s evolving artificial intelligence (AI) interactive assistant has been enhanced to be capable of interacting intuitively with its owners in certain scenarios. For instance, when parked at home, the vehicle can predict the next day’s battery needs in advance based on commuting habits, and proactively remind the owner to charge it on time.
The 009 will be available at the Zeekr dealership in BGC, Taguig.
