Opulent Zeekr 009 trim debuts in China

Chinese automaker Zeekr has presented the most luxurious trim version of its 009 minivan yet. Called the Glory Edition, it starts from 789,000 Yuan – whole 200,000 Yuan above the previous top spec, AutoHome.cn reports.

The exterior looks more or less standard, until you notice a blacked-out grille, chrome décor all around and new 20-inch wheels giving off Mercedes-Maybach vibes. A LiDAR hump on the roof means you can get decent self-driving performance.

We reported a while ago that the new 009 would have deluxe ventilated seats with built-in massagers and leg supports. The company has now disclosed the full equipment list, mentioning a 43-inch display, a pop-up partition between the driver’s cabin and the rest of the interior, two safes with electronic locks, a smart fridge, dimmable windows and a satellite link. State-of-the-art cybersecurity measures are also on the list.

Like its peers, the Zeekr 009 Glory Edition uses two electric motors for propulsion. It does get a healthy power boost – from 544 PS (536 hp / 400 kW) to 788 PS (777 hp / 580 kW). As a result, the minivan sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds. It can also reach 230 km/h (143 mph) in a straight line.

The battery pack is rated at 702 km (436 miles) per charge. Charging from an 800-volt source replenishes the battery from 10 to 80% in 11 minutes 30 seconds.

The shipments will begin on May 19, 2024.
