@techedt This doesn’t feel like a car. The Zeekr 009 feels like business class on wheels. It’s bold and futuristic on the outside with an intelligent light-up grille, but the real magic is inside. Spacious Nappa leather seats recline, massage, and reveal a hidden table. There’s a dual-temperature fridge, and the cabin stays whisper-quiet even at highway speeds. With up to 600km of range and fast charging to 80% in under 30 minutes, this EV turns every trip into a luxury experience.
