Zeekr has introduced the 9X Super Hybrid SUV, a high-performance model aimed at competing with Audi's new Q9 flagship in the luxury segment.
The vehicle, unveiled on July 29, 2026, produces 897 horsepower and features a design developed in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Design and Powertrain
The Zeekr 9X adopts a smooth aesthetic inspired by luxury motor yachts, with a closed waterfall grille and matrix lighting.
It uses a 900-volt architecture combining a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine as an onboard generator with two electric motors, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.
The preliminary WLTP range stands at 737 kilometers, and fast charging from 10 to 80 percent takes 9.5 minutes.
Interior Luxury
Inside, the second row transforms into a reclining space with a ceiling-mounted 17-inch 3K OLED screen, a 32-speaker Naim sound system with seat tactile vibrations, a 47-inch head-up display, and a climate-controlled refrigerator.
The refrigerator can operate between cold temperatures and 50 degrees Celsius.
Audi Q9's Traditional Approach
In contrast, Audi's Q9 relies on a 3.0-liter V6 TDI diesel engine delivering 299 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque, supplemented by an electrically driven compressor and a starter generator adding 24 extra horsepower.
Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed tiptronic transmission and permanent quattro all-wheel drive. The starting price for the Audi Q9 is 108,400 euros.
