Zeekr has launched the 9X in Spain, where it is now the most expensive Chinese car on sale, with prices starting at 119,450 euros. The launch took place at Marina Port Vell in Barcelona. The Ultra AWD version is already on sale, with prices reaching 121,500 euros depending on configuration.
Performance is a major draw. The Super Hybrid system produces 897 CV and 935 Nm of torque, allowing the six-seat SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. Its dual 900 V electric motors deliver a top speed of 240 km/h. The 9X can travel up to 179 kilometers on electric power alone, while its total hybrid range reaches 737 km. eldiario.es reports that DC fast charging of up to 330 kW can take the battery from 10% to 80% in 9.5 minutes.
The yacht-inspired design continues inside, where the cabin is conceived more as a private lounge than a family SUV. Its 2-2-2 seating layout gives all six occupants room, with particular attention to the second row: each seat reclines to 145 degrees and has electric leg rests. The front- and second-row seats offer massage and ventilation, with heating as well. The third row has power-adjustable heated seats, with backrests that recline up to 135 degrees. An electric sliding system makes rear access easier. Specialist auto media reviews highlight second-row comfort and the high-end audio system as basic differences from rivals.
Entertainment is basic to the cabin. A movable 17-inch OLED 3K screen drops from the ceiling. In cinema mode, the privacy curtains close and the panoramic roof shade slides shut. The lights dim. The Naim sound system has 32 speakers and 8 haptic transducers, while the seats vibrate with the music. A fridge between the second-row seats can cool or heat items, with a temperature range of -6 to 50 °C.
Comfort also comes from adaptive air suspension with a dual-chamber setup, paired with CDC electromagnetic dampers. The 9X can switch from electric cruising to off-road mode at the press of a button. At about 5.23 meters long, it sits firmly in the large premium SUV category, information from European auto analysts.
China2Move reports that pricing and specifications vary by country, and that Zeekr is positioning the 9X against premium brands such as BMW and Mercedes, with Audi also in its sights. In Italy, the starting price exceeds 122,000 euros, with first deliveries expected between late 2026 and early 2027.
The 9X sets a new price record for Chinese cars in Spain, bringing advanced technology and high-end materials to the luxury SUV segment while focusing on passenger comfort. Its launch follows the pattern of other high-performance models, including the recent Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale Perla Nera, which also emphasizes exclusivity and innovation.
Zeekr is betting on Spain’s growing appetite for premium electrified cars. The 9X pairs yacht-inspired design with immersive entertainment, while its speed reaches supercar levels. It is aimed at buyers seeking an alternative to established luxury brands. The model reflects how Chinese automakers are expanding their presence in Europe and changing expectations of luxury among Spanish drivers.
