Now the «nine» is offered in China in two versions, both have four-wheel drive, that is, two electric motors (on each axle) with the same characteristics, the total output is 544 hp . and 686 Nm. But the batteries are different: the base Zeekr 009 is equipped with a 116 kWh battery, the second version is equipped with a 140 kWh battery. Range — 702 and 822 km, respectively (according to the Chinese CLTC cycle). Regardless of modification, the minivan accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.

Zeekr 009 < p> For Zeekr 009 they ask for 68,300 — 80,800 dollars. In general, the Volvo EM90 electric van will have plenty of competitors, because the MPV segment is popular in China. The most suitable rivals, in addition to the «nine»: Voyah Dreamer (Dream in the Russian Federation), Wey Alpine, Lexus LM and a minivan of a separate brand Crown.
