The Story
TopGear reports that 2.9-tonne, 885bhp Zeekr 9X Super Hybrid is coming to Europe… - topgear.com — here’s the gist of what’s worth knowing.
This is the Zeekr 9X Super Hybrid. It is not a large, premium SUV that rivals other large, premium SUVs. It is a ginormous premium SUV that’s as long as a long wheelbase Range Rover and as heavy as a small moon.
It’s been on sale in China since 2025 and today, Zeekr has revealed this 9X Super Hybrid is heading to Europe. And as befits a luxury Chinese car, there’s a lot stuffed into those vast, chunky flanks.
Like a complex powertrain that’s… a little diluted compared to the tri-motor rocket they get in China. Europe will only be treated to a twin electric motor setup – one motor on the front, one on the back – along with a 55.1kWh battery, 900V architecture and a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
Sounds like it’ll be an e-focused hybrid, with that engine pulled into service to act as a generator or to assist the electricity if you’re doing proper distance. Zeekr quotes a measly electric-only range of 111 miles (!), but a combined range of 458 miles, and the ability to charge the thing up from 10-80 per cent in 9.5 minutes (depending on the charger).
Why It Matters
Zeekr claims the 9X gets a “47in head-up display projecting navigation, speed, blind spot camera feed and information directly into the driver’s line of sight”.
CarMotion Daily’s Take
Europe will only be treated to a twin electric motor setup – one motor on the front, one on the back – along with a 55.1kWh battery, 900V architecture and a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Watch this space over the coming weeks.
