It became known that the car literally caused a huge demand in the Chinese market: three days after the announcement of the start of sales, more than two thousand purchase requests were received. For comparison: in the first half of 2024, dealers sold less than three thousand minivans.
The main reason for the growing interest in the updated model is the cost, which turned out to be 12% lower than that of its predecessor: 439,000-469,000 yuan (5.26-5.62 million rubles). The price of the pre-reform model starts at 500 thousand yuan.

The price has been reduced by the appearance of versions with an electric motor on the front axle. Previously, all Zeekr 009s were all-wheel drive; the power of the basic MPV is 340 hp and the range is 900 km (according to the CLTC cycle). There is a more powerful single-engine modification with a power of 422 hp and a range of 740 km.

In addition, the increase in demand could be influenced by the appearance of the seven-seat Zeekr 009 version with a “2+2+3” interior.
Another new product from Zeekr is the 7X crossover, which will try to shake up the Tesla Model 3’s position.
