2025 ZEEKR 009 Executive Review

In recent years, the high-end pure electric MPV market in Southeast Asia has been heating up rapidly. Consumers are pursuing not only the environmental friendliness and quietness of new energy vehicles but also the spacious interior and luxurious features of MPVs. The 2025 Zeekr 009 Executive, as a new entrant in this segment, features a core selling point of a 604km driving range, 7-seater configuration, and 30 Yamaha speakers, attracting significant attention from both family users and business professionals. This test drive will provide a comprehensive evaluation from static design and space practicality to dynamic driving experience to see if this model can stand out among vehicles in the same price range.

The exterior design of the 2025 Zeekr 009 Executive continues the family’s rugged style, with its overall square and atmospheric lines. The 5209mm length combined with 2024mm width makes it appear particularly stable among MPVs. Its front face features a closed front grille paired with through-type LED daytime running lights that offer high recognition. The waistline on the body extends from the front to the rear, and the 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels mitigate the bulky visual impression typical of larger MPVs. The rear LED taillight also adopts a through-type design that echoes the front, while chrome decorative strips below enhance the sense of sophistication. The lighting system comes standard as full LED across the range, with automatic headlights and daytime running lights added, further improving daily convenience.

In terms of interior, the Zeekr 009 Executive adopts a simple yet luxurious design style. The center console is centered around a 15.05-inch OLED CSD touch screen, which performs well in terms of operational smoothness and display clarity. The interior is mainly crafted with soft Nappa leather, combined with metal trims and piano lacquer panels, providing a tactile texture as expected. The front seats support 12-way electric adjustment with massage and ventilation functions, while three groups of seat memory cater to different driver preferences. The second-row seats are Sofaro first-class airline seats, equipped with 4-way electrically adjustable leg rests, electric footrests, and seat supports. The independent armrests integrate control buttons and feature hidden cup holders and small folding tables, while the 1.1-meter electric sliding range ensures exceptional leg space. The third-row seats support one-click access and 180° folding. Even when accommodating three passengers, it does not feel cramped, and all models come standard with ISO FIX child seat anchors, significantly enhancing practicality. Regarding space, the 3205mm wheelbase ensures ample legroom for both front and rear occupants, and the 574L trunk capacity can accommodate three 28-inch suitcases, meeting the requirements for long-distance family trips.

As for performance, the Zeekr 009 Executive is equipped with a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor, delivering a maximum power of 250kW (340PS) and a maximum torque of 373N·m, achieving an official 0–100km/h acceleration of 7.9 seconds. During actual driving, the start is responsive, and even under full load, pressing the accelerator deeply provides a noticeable sense of thrust. The driving modes include Eco, Standard, and Sport. In Eco mode, power output is relatively smooth, suitable for daily commuting; while in Sport mode, power response is enhanced, offering greater confidence during overtakes. The steering wheel has moderate heft and minimal play. Despite its large size, the vehicle is not cumbersome to control. The chassis employs a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension setup, tuned for comfort. When passing over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, the suspension effectively filters vibrations so passengers inside the car feel minimal bumpiness. Body roll is controlled within a reasonable range during cornering, delivering commendable stability.

In terms of range, the official pure electric range is 604km. In our tests under mixed road conditions (50% city + 50% highway), with the air conditioner set to 24℃ on automatic mode, the final range achievement rate was approximately 85%. On highways at a cruising speed of 110km/h, the power consumption was around 20kWh/100km, and in urban road conditions, it was around 16kWh/100km. Overall performance meets expectations. Fast charging time is 0.5 hours (official data), while slow charging takes 13.5 hours, meeting daily energy replenishment needs. Noise control inside the car is excellent, with minimal wind and tire noise at a speed of 100km/h. The Yamaha 30-speaker system provides clear sound quality, further enhancing the driving experience. The comfort of the third-row seats is also commendable, ensuring long-distance trips are not tiring. The addition of independent rear air conditioning and sunshades elevates the experience for rear-seat passengers.

In terms of safety features, the ZEEKR 009 Executive comes standard with 7 airbags, ACC adaptive cruise control, 360-degree panoramic cameras, automatic parking, and lane assist. The lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking systems responded sensitively during tests, effectively reducing collision risks, demonstrating comprehensive safety performance.

Overall, the core advantages of the 2025 ZEEKR 009 Executive lie in its spacious 7-seater interior, luxurious seating configuration, and comprehensive safety features. The 604km range positions it at an upper-middle level among pure electric MPVs in its class. Compared to similar models, its second-row aviation seats and 30-speaker system stand out as significant feature highlights, while its price is approximately 50,000 Malaysian Ringgit lower than some competitors, offering excellent value for money.

This vehicle is suitable for users who prioritize family travel comfort, particularly families that frequently travel long distances while fully loaded. Additionally, the luxurious second-row configuration can meet the needs of certain business reception scenarios. If you're looking for a pure electric MPV that combines spaciousness, luxury, and range, the ZEEKR 009 Executive is worthy of consideration.
