The ZEEKR 9X REV is ZEEKR's full-size flagship SUV, built around a 900V range-extended hybrid platform and offered exclusively in a 2+2+2 six-seat captain's-chair layout. The lineup runs from a dual-motor entry trim to a tri-motor flagship producing 1,381 hp, with combined range holding at 1,200 km CLTC across the board. In China the 9X REV starts at 465,900 yuan (about $68,810) and tops out at 599,900 yuan (about $88,600) for the range-topping tri-motor trim, while export channels selling directly from the manufacturer quote noticeably higher FOB pricing for overseas buyers. Positioned against six/seven-seat EREV rivals like the Li Auto L9 and AITO M9, the 9X REV leans on raw power and a heavily equipped cabin — electric doors, a hydraulic tailgate, and a rotating rear entertainment screen among them — to stand out in China's crowded large-SUV segment.
Performance & Specs
Every 9X REV pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder range-extender engine (279 hp on its own) with a 900V electrical architecture, but power scales sharply by trim. The entry Max and Ultra trims use a dual-motor setup for a combined 660 kW (about 885 hp) with all-wheel drive and a claimed 3.1-second 0-100 km/h time. The range-topping Yaohei trim swaps in ZEEKR's tri-motor system — one front motor plus two independent rear motors — for a combined 1,030 kW (1,381 hp / 1,400 PS) and 1,410 Nm of torque, still with a 3.1-second 0-100 km/h claim and a 240 km/h top speed. Air suspension with continuous damping control is standard across the REV lineup, giving up to 288 mm of ground clearance for light off-road use despite the car's on-road-focused chassis tuning.

At 5,239 mm long with a 3,169 mm wheelbase, the 9X REV is built exclusively as a 2+2+2 six-seater — ZEEKR sells a separate, cheaper five-seat 9X for buyers who don't need the captain's-chair second row. All second- and third-row seats are power-folding, and the second-row captain's chairs can be rotated to face the third row via a console button, opening up a walk-through path. The hydraulic tailgate is fully powered, and the reviewed unit's third row keeps usable leg room for adults on a 5:31-minute walkaround, with rear-seat storage boxes built into the cargo floor. Curb weight ranges from 2,840 kg to 3,095 kg depending on trim and battery size. The range-extender engine sits under a front hood badged simply "ZEEKR," with the 2.0T unit acting purely as a generator rather than driving the wheels directly.

Charging & Battery
The 9X REV offers a choice of 55 kWh or 70 kWh CATL Freevoy NMC battery packs, both running on the car's 900V electrical architecture. ZEEKR quotes a 20-80% DC fast-charge time of roughly 9 minutes on the 70 kWh pack, among the quickest in the segment for a range-extended SUV. The 55 kWh pack returns up to 300 km of CLTC electric-only range, while the larger 70 kWh pack extends that to up to 380 km — both figures work out to roughly 18.3-18.4 kWh/100 km, a realistic number for a 2.8-3.1 tonne SUV. Once the battery is depleted, the 2.0T range-extender engine keeps combined range at 1,200 km CLTC regardless of which battery is fitted, refilled from the roughly 51-liter fuel tank.
| BATTERY | 55 kWh or 70 kWh (CATL Freevoy NMC) |

| AC CHARGING | 11 kW |
| DC FAST CHARGING | 900V architecture |
| DC 20-80% TIME | ≈9 min (70 kWh pack) |
Design & Interior
The reviewed unit wears a gloss-black paint finish with red brake calipers peeking through 22-inch alloy wheels — a sportier look than ZEEKR's more common white and grey demo cars, with a light-bar taillight design running the width of the tailgate and flush door handles that pop out on approach. All four doors, including the rear captain's-chair doors, are power-operated. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan leather with contrasting dark trim, wrapped around a two-spoke steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, and a large central touchscreen that can be detached and slid toward the front passenger. A panoramic sunroof with a powered sunshade covers most of the roofline, and the second-row captain's chairs get their own climate and seat controls on the door-mounted panel. A rear-seat refrigerator and a rotating rear entertainment screen round out the six-seat luxury pitch.
Technology & Features
The 9X REV runs on twin high-performance compute chips, splitting ADAS processing from infotainment so neither workload competes for resources. ZEEKR's L3-capable driver-assistance suite is available across the range-topping trims, paired with a head-up display and an English-language interface option on cars built for export. The center touchscreen carries a full settings shortcut panel covering ambient lighting, suspension adjustment, EV drive mode, and individual seat/climate profiles, alongside wireless device charging and a multi-speaker sound system. A digital key and companion app round out the connected-car features common to ZEEKR's lineup.
Safety & ADAS
The 9X REV's flagship trims run ZEEKR's L3-capable ADAS stack on the car's dual-chip compute platform, combining camera, radar, and ultrasonic sensor coverage for adaptive cruise, lane-keeping, automatic emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system. The tri-motor Yaohei trim's independent rear motors also enable torque-vectoring stability control, useful given the car's near-3.1-tonne curb weight at the top of the range.

Pricing & Availability
The ZEEKR 9X range first launched in China in September 2025 as a six-seat-only flagship; a cheaper five-seat variant followed in July 2026 at a separate, lower starting price. The six-seat REV lineup covered here currently prices from 465,900 yuan (about $68,810) for the Max 55 kWh trim up to 599,900 yuan (about $88,600) for the tri-motor Yaohei trim, all figures per ZEEKR's official China pricing. The unit in this video comes from an export-focused reseller selling directly from the manufacturer with export authorization, who quotes considerably higher FOB pricing for overseas buyers — starting around $78,000 and reaching roughly $93,000-94,000 for the flagship trim, on top of shipping and import duties. Buyers researching this car from outside China should treat the domestic yuan pricing above as the car's actual factory price and the reseller's dollar figures as an export markup on top of it.
How It Compares
Against the Li Auto L9, the segment's long-running six-seat EREV benchmark, the 9X REV undercuts it slightly on combined range (1,200 km vs 1,315 km) but the flagship Yaohei trim more than doubles the L9's horsepower. The AITO M9 EREV 6-Seater sits closest on price and combined range, but again gives up a large horsepower gap to the 9X REV's tri-motor flagship — though the base 885 hp Max trim is a fairer power match for either the L9 or M9. The IM LS9 REV lands between the two on both price and range, offering a similar formula without ZEEKR's tri-motor performance ceiling. None of the three rivals offer a factory tri-motor option, making the 9X REV's Yaohei trim the outlier for buyers who want six-seat family space with genuine performance-SUV power.
- Flagship Yaohei trim's 1,381 hp tri-motor system is well beyond anything else in the six-seat EREV segment
- 1,200 km combined range holds steady across every trim regardless of battery size
- Fully powered doors, tailgate, and folding second/third rows make the cabin genuinely easy to live with
- Export/FOB pricing through reseller channels runs well above ZEEKR's actual China factory price, and there's no official export program yet
- At up to 3,095 kg, the tri-motor flagship trades some of its power advantage for genuine curb-weight heft
The ZEEKR 9X REV is for buyers who want a six-seat family SUV without giving up performance-car numbers — the Yaohei trim's 1,381 hp and 3.1-second 0-100 time have no real equivalent among six-seat EREV rivals at this price point. The entry Max and Ultra trims are the more sensible family picks, matching the Li Auto L9 and AITO M9 on power while holding the same 1,200 km combined range across the board. The catch for anyone outside China is availability: this is a domestic-market car being resold through export channels at a real markup, not an officially exported model, so buyers should price it against the yuan figure, not the reseller's dollar quote. For a China-market buyer, though, it's one of the most capable six-seat SUVs on sale at any price.
