Zeekr unveils flagship luxury SUV Zeekr 9X at Singapore Motorshow 2026

Global electric mobility technology brand Zeekr has unveiled its flagship luxury SUV, the Zeekr 9X, at the Singapore Motorshow 2026, marking the model’s first public appearance in Singapore. The preview took place at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, where the event runs from 8 to 11 January, offering visitors an early look at what the brand positions as its most advanced and luxurious SUV to date.

The Zeekr 9X is being showcased as a left-hand-drive preview model and is not available for sale in Singapore at this stage. Its presence at the Motorshow signals Zeekr’s intention to introduce a new flagship into its global portfolio, while giving local audiences insight into the design, scale, and technological direction of the brand’s premium SUV offering.

Alongside the 9X, Zeekr is also presenting several models from its existing premium electric vehicle line-up. These include the compact luxury Zeekr X, the pure-electric Zeekr 009 MPV, and the recently launched Zeekr 7X, a family-oriented SUV positioned around technology-led comfort and versatility. These models are available for on-site viewing and test drives throughout the Motorshow.

Flagship design and technology take centre stage

Officially launched globally in October 2025, the Zeekr 9X represents the pinnacle of the brand’s engineering and design ambitions. The SUV is built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture-S platform, which underpins Zeekr’s latest generation of electric vehicles. A key highlight is its 900V high-voltage electrical architecture, designed to deliver strong performance, ultra-fast charging capability, and refined driving dynamics.

Safety is positioned as a core priority of the Zeekr 9X, with advanced protection technologies integrated throughout the vehicle. While detailed specifications were not outlined during the preview, the emphasis on safety reflects the model’s role as the brand’s flagship SUV.

Inside, the Zeekr 9X features a three-row cabin designed to deliver a refined and comfortable experience for occupants. The interior incorporates Cloud Lounge seats, created to enhance comfort while reflecting a modern interpretation of luxury. This layout reinforces the vehicle’s positioning as a high-end SUV aimed at both family use and premium mobility expectations.

Mr Eddy Lu, General Manager of Zeekr Intelligent Technology for Malaysia and Singapore, said the Zeekr 9X marks a significant milestone for the brand. He noted that although the vehicle is presented as a preview in Singapore, it offers a clear indication of Zeekr’s most advanced technologies and design capabilities, as well as its continued commitment to pushing boundaries in premium electric mobility.

Expanding Zeekr’s presence in Singapore

Zeekr’s participation in the Singapore Motorshow 2026 also highlights the brand’s growing presence in the local market. According to Ms Isabel Hong, General Manager of Zeekr Singapore, interest in the brand has continued to build since its launch in Singapore. The Motorshow provides an opportunity for visitors to experience Zeekr’s electric vehicle range in person, from compact urban models to luxury-focused offerings.

Ms Hong said the showcase demonstrates Zeekr’s aim to serve a wide range of lifestyles and driving needs in Singapore. The diversity of the line-up, spanning the Zeekr X, Zeekr 009, Zeekr 7X, and the flagship 9X, reflects the brand’s strategy to elevate the electric vehicle ownership experience across multiple segments.

Visitors to the Zeekr booth can also take advantage of event-only purchase incentives. Customers who purchase a Zeekr vehicle during the Motorshow can participate in an on-site game of chance, with instant purchase discounts of up to US$6,600 applied directly to the vehicle price. These offers are subject to terms and conditions.

In addition, visitors who follow Zeekr on Facebook and Instagram during the event will receive a Zeekr-branded phone strap, while stocks last. These initiatives are intended to drive engagement and introduce more consumers to the brand as it continues to establish itself in Singapore’s competitive electric vehicle market.
