Price cut by nearly 120,000, Zeekr's new 009 brings 7 seats and 800V, who would still buy an Alphard?

The new Zeekr 009 has been launched, and this time it brings considerable changes. The first thing that stands out is the price. The three new configurations are the seven-seat aisle version at 439,000 yuan, the seven-seat aisle four-wheel-drive version at 459,000 yuan, and the six-seat executive four-wheel-drive version at 469,000 yuan. Compared with the old model, the price difference is as much as nearly 120,000 yuan.

There have also been upgrades in terms of configuration. The newly added seven-seat version should be a move in response to market demand, since family travel scenarios need to be taken into account. At the same time, the entire lineup is equipped with an 800V electrical architecture, which significantly improves travel efficiency and convenience.

The texture of the interior panels has been adjusted, and a new-style steering wheel has been installed. The 35.95-inch AR-HUD has a very striking visual effect, and the infotainment system has also been upgraded, equipped with dual 8295 chips, improving the user experience.

Personally, I think the most attractive part of the interior is the Eames lounge chair mode. Anyone who has sat in an Eames lounge chair will never forget its comfortable reclining feel, and now it can also be enjoyed in the new Zeekr 009. This fully reclined mode, which links the seat, leg rest, and footrest, is very necessary for long trips or a short nap on the way.

In terms of exterior, the changes are not major. The main additions are some chrome decorations, and the shark-fin antenna at the rear has been removed. In addition, the design of the Zeekr 009 is actually very similar in tone to Lynk & Co. The design is so avant-garde that people initially found it hard to accept, but as time goes by, this exterior becomes more and more pleasing to the eye, and instead feels very appropriate.

The powertrain has also been upgraded this time. The 0-100 km/h acceleration has improved from the previous 4.5 seconds to 3.9 seconds. It is equipped with a 108kWh 5C Qilin battery, and the maximum CLTC range can reach 740 km.
