The Zeekr 9X's grille is the world's largest single block, with a base width of 1,245 mm. Meanwhile, the clamshell hood has an area of ​​up to 2.15 m², which the company also claims is the largest in the automotive industry today.

The Zeekr 9X is the company's first hybrid model, with a powertrain that combines a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine (279 horsepower) and two electric motors located on the front and rear axles, along with an AWD drive system. The total system capacity reaches 898 horsepower. The car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 240 km/h.

The car is equipped with a CATL Freevoy battery combined with a 900V electrical structure, supporting 6C fast charging, allowing charging from 0 to full in less than 10 minutes. The announced pure electric travel distance can reach 635 km, depending on the version.

The Zeekr 9X is built on a chassis platform with dual-chamber air suspension, dual-valve continuous damping system and 48V active anti-roll bars, which are usually only found on luxury cars. The car can reach a maximum ground clearance of 288 mm, ready for many operating conditions.

One of the technological highlights of the Zeekr 9X is the G-Pilot H9 autonomous driving support system. This is a level 3 (L3-ready) intelligent driving platform, using two Nvidia Drive Thor chips with a total processing capacity of up to 1,400 TOPS (trillions of calculations per second), accompanied by 5 LiDAR sensors, 13 cameras and 3 mm-wave radars.
