451,900 RMB buys the domestic Cullinan! How to choose among Zeekr 9X five-seat configurations: one article explains it all.

Today, the Zeekr 9X five-seat version officially launched, offering three configurations: Ultra, Hyper, and Obsidian Black. The official retail prices are 471,900 RMB, 545,900 RMB, and 585,900 RMB respectively, with limited-time prices after discounts at 451,900 RMB, 525,900 RMB, and 565,900 RMB.

The Zeekr 9X is positioned as a full-size luxury SUV, with dimensions of 5239 x 2029 × 1819mm (length, width, height) and a wheelbase of 3169mm. Due to its extremely imposing and luxurious appearance, it is also called the "Domestic Cullinan" by many netizens.

After removing the third row in the five-seat version, the second-row legroom reaches a maximum of 1400mm, rivaling MPV levels. All versions feature a 2.0T super hybrid dedicated engine paired with a 6C hybrid battery, with a maximum CLTC combined range of 1250 kilometers.

How to choose between the three versions? The core differences lie in powertrain, battery, smart driving, and luxury features. Read on for a clear breakdown:

Five-Seat Ultra: Fully Loaded from Entry Level

Starting at a retail price of 471,900 RMB, with a limited-time price after discounts from 451,900 RMB, this is the only dual-motor model among the three versions. It is equipped with a 55kWh battery pack, delivering a CLTC pure electric range of 300 km, with a total dual-motor power output of 660 kW.

In terms of smart driving, it features the Qianli Haohan H7 system, equipped with 1 LiDAR sensor and a single NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-U chip, providing 700 TOPS of computing power.

The second row comes with dual zero-gravity seats, dual Eames recliners, a central luxury electric armrest, and dual executive folding tables. Limited-time gifts include the Naim Immersive Sound System (valued at 60,000 RMB), a 17-inch OLED Wing Sliding Screen (valued at 15,000 RMB), electric side steps (valued at 10,000 RMB), a matte silver chrome exterior package, and 22-inch Star Forged Wheels with four-piston calipers.

This version suits users with a budget under 500,000 RMB, who have low requirements for pure electric range and primarily use the vehicle for daily city commuting. The 300 km pure electric range is more than enough for a week's commute, and the 660 kW dual-motor power already far exceeds that of comparable fuel SUVs.

Five-Seat Hyper: Performance Leap

Starting at a retail price of 545,900 RMB, with a limited-time price after discounts from 525,900 RMB. Compared to the Ultra, it is about 74,000 RMB more expensive, with core upgrades in powertrain and smart driving.

The battery is upgraded to 70kWh, boosting the CLTC pure electric range to 380 km, with a combined range of 1250 km. Powertrain-wise, it upgrades from dual motors to a triple-motor megawatt-level electric drive system, with total power surging to 1030 kW and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 3.1 seconds.

Smart driving is upgraded to the Qianli Haohan H9 system, increasing LiDAR sensors from 1 to 5 units for full 360-degree coverage. The chip is upgraded to dual NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-U, delivering 1400 TOPS of computing power. It also adds active stabilizer bars and active side wing adjustment for the driver's backrest.

Limited-time gifts are essentially the same as the Ultra version, but the wheels are upgraded to 22-inch Mirror Forged Wheels with six-piston orange calipers.

The extra 70,000+ RMB gets you: 80 km more pure electric range, nearly one second faster 0-100 km/h, doubled smart driving hardware, and upgraded handling hardware. If you crave extreme performance and advanced smart driving, this additional cost is well worth it.

Five-Seat Obsidian Black: Top-Tier Flagship

Starting at a retail price of 585,900 RMB, with a limited-time price after discounts from 565,900 RMB, it is about 40,000 RMB more expensive than the Hyper version. The powertrain is identical to the Hyper version: 70kWh battery, triple motors with 1030 kW, 3.1-second 0-100 km/h, and the Qianli Haohan H9 smart driving system.

The extra 40,000 RMB mainly goes into the "Obsidian Black Package": Obsidian Black exterior package, Obsidian Night Gold-tone exclusive interior, 22-inch Obsidian Black Forged Wheels with six-piston orange calipers, and an added intelligent electric tow hitch. In short, this is a "blackened premium edition" with upgrades to the exterior and detail configurations.

Suitable for users seeking personalization and recognition, the Obsidian Black exterior package offers high visibility on the road, and the tow hitch expands outdoor usage scenarios.

Full List of Standard Features

The standard features shared across all three versions are quite generous: closed double-chamber dual-valve air suspension, all-terrain driving modes, panoramic roof with scissor doors, large opening panoramic sunroof, Soft NAPPA full-grain top-layer leather seats, 22-point tapping and kneading massage;

4-way adaptive lumbar support, intelligent感应电动门, dual-million-pixel intelligent projection headlights, 47-inch AR-HUD head-up display, 16-inch 3.5K OLED dual screen for center console and passenger, 6.3-inch OLED magic control screen, 9L intelligent cooling and heating constant temperature refrigerator, 6.5L privacy storage box, second-row side window privacy electric sunshades, and rear windshield privacy sunshade.

In other words, even the entry-level Ultra version at 451,900 RMB offers no compromises on luxury features—fully loaded from the start.

Purchase Recommendations

Choose the Ultra version if your budget is under 500,000 RMB: the dual-motor 660 kW power is already more than sufficient, the 300 km pure electric range is adequate, and the H7 smart driving system supports advanced driver assistance, offering the best value for money.

If your budget is around 600,000 RMB, choose between the Hyper and Obsidian Black versions: Opt for the Hyper version if you pursue extreme performance and smart driving, with 3.1-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and the 5-LiDAR H9 system representing the hardware ceiling; choose the Obsidian Black version if you prioritize exterior personalization and recognition, spending an extra 40,000 RMB for the full blacked-out appearance and tow hitch.

The limited-time benefits for all three versions are identical: free Naim audio system, Wing Sliding Screen, and electric side steps valued at 85,000 RMB total, plus the matte silver chrome package and forged wheels. First-time owners also enjoy five years of free charging (1,000 kWh per year).
