Launched on Sept. 29, the 9X comes in four trims — Max, Ultra, Hyper and Black Edition — with official guide prices ranging from CNY 465,900 to CNY 599,900. Orders surged at debut: 10,000 firm orders arrived in just 13 minutes, and more than 30,000 within 10 days.
Design-wise, the front grille echoes the waterfall motif of the ZEEKR 009, with a standard roof-mounted lidar. The 9X uses a two-tone body; a silver roof underscores its luxury feel, and all four doors are power-operated. At the rear, a wraparound "Star Crystal" light bar runs across the tail, comprising 42,242 diamond-cut facets that create a distinctive signature when lit. The taillight cluster, named the Side-wing Star Crystal Matrix, mirrors the cues up front.
For driver assistance, the car offers two Haohan packages, H7 and H9. The H7 aims for a smoother, more human-like and safer experience. The H9 pushes compute beyond 1,400 TOPS — ZEEKR calls it an L3-grade solution ready for mass production.
Powertrain highlights include the debut of the Haohan Super Hybrid, delivering up to 1,030 kW and more than 1,400 horsepower. Every variant does 0–100 km/h in the 3-second bracket, with a quickest sprint of 3.1 seconds. Top speed reaches 240 km/h. Performance holds steady even with a low state of charge. CLTC pure-electric range is up to 380 km, with combined range exceeding 1,000 km. Peak charging reaches 6C, taking the battery from 20% to 80% SoC in just 9 minutes.
Under the skin, the Haohan AI Digital Chassis blends hardware and software for strong all-terrain capability. Despite measuring over 5.2 meters in length, it steers with near-sedan precision — agile at low speeds and composed at high speeds. The setup includes a closed dual-chamber, dual-valve air suspension, plus the Dinghai intelligent controller that matches drive modes on the fly for robust adaptive performance across terrains.
