In the realm of luxury mobility, where German badges and the ubiquitous Toyota Alphard and Vellfire reign supreme, a new contender emerges, challenging the status quo. This is the Zeekr 009 that is now on preview here in Malaysia, and with its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, it presents a compelling alternative for those seeking a truly unique and luxurious experience.
With an estimated price tag below RM370k, the Zeekr 009 offers an intriguing combination of luxury and space at a surprisingly accessible price point. It significantly undercuts its competitors in the luxury MPV segment here in Malaysia, such as the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire twins, making it an enticing option for buyers seeking both luxury and value.
The Zeekr 009 shatters preconceptions about MPV performance, launching from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. This is achieved thanks to its dual-motor powertrain, delivering a staggering 612 hp and 693 Nm of torque – more than a Porsche 911 Carrera!
The Zeekr 009’s exterior captivates with its bold front fascia, featuring a unique arrangement of chrome accents that mimic the appearance of a traditional grille. These vertical chrome elements add a touch of grandeur and sophistication. Culminating the front is a pair of sleek, elongated daytime running lights that add a futuristic touch, with the headlights seamlessly integrated into the lower bumper.
Stepping into the Zeekr 009 is akin to entering a minimalist sanctuary of luxury and technology. The driver’s seat offers a commanding view of the road, complemented by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Rear passengers are treated to an immersive experience, thanks to a roof-mounted OLED 17-inch display and a wealth of comfort features. Ventilated and massaging seats, 8.6-litre mini fridge, power sliding doors, and a 30-speaker Yamaha sound system ensure a truly indulgent journey for all.
