Today, Zeekr officially opened pre-sales for the five-seat version of the Zeekr 9X.
The company said customers who pay a 5k RMB（~$ 735） deposit from today can enjoy up to 90k RMB(~$ 13241) in limited-time pre-sale benefits.
The core change of the five-seat Zeekr 9X lies in the redesigned cabin layout.
The five-seat version measures 5,239mm in length, 2,029mm in width, and 1,819mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,169mm. With the third-row seats removed, rear legroom increases by about 120mm, and both lateral and longitudinal space are freed up, creating a flat and spacious rear cabin.
In addition, the trunk capacity has been significantly increased from 470L in the six-seat version to over 1,000L. The company said that with the rear seats folded flat with one touch, the expanded volume can reach over 2,100L.
For passenger comfort, the second row features dual Eames loungers and dual zero-gravity seat modes. The seat rails have a longer travel, and the backrests can recline to a greater angle. When occupied by two passengers, the central aisle can hold a briefcase or a built-in refrigerator.
The five-seat version inherits the same top-tier hardware as the six-seat version.
In terms of powertrain, the new model is built on the SEA-S luxury hybrid-dedicated architecture, and comes standard with a 900V super hybrid high-voltage architecture, closed-loop dual-chamber air suspension, and a 48V active stabilizer bar.
It is powered by a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, available in dual-motor and tri-motor versions, with the tri-motor all-wheel-drive variant delivering peak power of 1,030kW (about 1,400 hp) and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds.
Inside, the five-seat version comes standard with dual Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chips, a 16-inch 3.5K OLED dual-display screen, and a 47-inch AR-HUD. The cabin is upholstered in soft NAPPA leather and Nordic natural wood trim, and features a 32-speaker Naim premium sound system and RNC full-range active noise cancellation.
For intelligent driving, it offers the Qianli Haohan H7/H9 solutions, supporting advanced functions such as urban NOA.
Since its launch in September 2025, the Zeekr 9X has accumulated over 60k deliveries and has ranked first in sales among large SUVs priced above 500k RMB(~$ 73563) for seven consecutive months. The launch of this new version is also a precise move by Zeekr to fill the high-end large five-seat market segment.
According to the plan, the Zeekr 9X will officially go global in the third quarter of this year, with its first stop in the Middle East, and will later enter major global markets including Europe, Latin America, and Central Asia.
