Zeekr 9X in Europe: 897 PS instead of 1,400 and half the electric range offered in China
The family SUV from the Geely group costs 119,500 euros in Germany. Europe gets a weaker version with a smaller battery than the top Chinese model.
Event date: October 6, 2026 · Published: October 12, 2026
In China, the most powerful versions of the Zeekr 9X, Hyper and Obsidian Black, have 1,030 kW, or about 1,400 PS (metric horsepower): a two-liter gasoline engine and three electric motors. Europe gets a version with two electric motors rated at 660 kW (897 PS). These are manufacturer figures.
Why the range differs
According to preliminary data, the European version can travel up to 179 km on electricity alone in the WLTP cycle. In China, up to 380 km is quoted. There are two reasons: Europe gets a 55 kWh battery instead of 70 kWh, and China's CLTC test cycle is less demanding than the European one. These figures therefore cannot be compared directly.
Price and Poland
In Germany, the six-seat Ultra AWD costs 119,500 euros. In China, prices at launch on September 29, 2025, started at 465,900 yuan.
The brand is due to enter Poland in the fourth quarter of 2026. This is an importer announcement reported by AutoCentrum; we did not find a Zeekr statement with a date and prices for Poland.
