You guys, you are not going to believe this! I was browsing through the latest car news, as I always do, and guess what I stumbled upon? Leaked images of a new Zeekr 009! And it’s not just any 009, it’s sporting some seriously cool updates.
Let’s start with the most exciting part – the 7-seater version! I mean, we all know the 009 is a luxury MPV, but adding another seat just makes it even more practical, especially for larger families like mine. The leaked images showed a clever central aisle design that looks like it’ll make getting to the third row a breeze, no more awkward shuffling around!
And hold on, there’s more! They’re also introducing a single-motor, two-wheel drive option. Now, I love the power of the dual-motor 009, don’t get me wrong, but having a more affordable and potentially more efficient single-motor variant is a brilliant move. It opens up the 009 to a wider audience, and that’s always a good thing. They’re offering two power levels for the single-motor: a 250kW and a 310kW, so you can still get a good dose of that electric performance.
For those of us who can’t resist the allure of all-wheel drive, fear not! The dual-motor version isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s coming back with the same two power levels as before – the slightly tamer 200kW/250kW front/rear setup, and the beastly 270kW/310kW combo for those who crave serious acceleration.
Honestly, I’m really impressed with Zeekr. They’re constantly innovating and expanding their lineup, and this new 009 is proof that they’re listening to what customers want. A more accessible 7-seater with a single-motor option? That’s a winning formula in my book. Now, if only they could reveal the official launch date… the anticipation is killing me!
