Zeekr strengthens its place among the world’s top tier luxury electric vehicle makers with the unveiling of the exclusive 009 Grand Collector’s Edition. This exceptional model redefines opulence in the electric MPV segment, blending cutting edge technology with design elements inspired by China’s rich heritage. It delivers a tailored experience for discerning business clients and those who demand distinction in every detail.
Exterior Design Inspired by Heritage and Real Gold Detailing
The Zeekr 009 Grand Collector’s Edition showcases a visual identity rooted in traditional Chinese craftsmanship, featuring a glossy, mirror like black finish accented with fine gold detailing reminiscent of the exquisite ceramics from the Ming Dynasty. A standout element is the refined gold stripe running beneath the side windows, handcrafted through a meticulous 16 step process that takes 30 hours to complete, adding an artistic flair typically reserved for rare masterpieces.
Emblems on the front, rear, and wheels are plated with 24 carat gold and contain a total of 3 grams of pure gold, elevating the vehicle’s luxury appeal beyond competitors such as the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, which features only a single gold plated badge.
The 20 inch forged aluminum wheels are coated with advanced PVD technology and enhanced with femtosecond laser engraving, which etches 240 ultra fine lines into the surface of each wheel. This creates a striking visual effect that shifts with movement, underscoring Zeekr’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail in this exclusive edition.
Opulent and Comfortable Interior
The interior radiates unmatched luxury, with floors covered in soft carpets made from alpaca wool, sourced from alpacas that inhabit the high altitudes of Peru’s mountains at 4,000 meters. Zeekr claims these fibers are among the finest in the world, offering exceptional softness and warmth. Passengers are even encouraged to remove their shoes during long journeys to fully experience the comfort.
This edition builds on the standard Zeekr 009 Grand Edition and features a four seat configuration. The rear seats provide 24 adjustment settings for optimal comfort and face a massive 43 inch display. This screen is supported by an advanced 30 speaker audio system, with 23 speakers dedicated exclusively to the rear cabin, delivering a cinematic in car entertainment experience.
Luxury is further elevated with thoughtful details such as a dedicated fridge for premium beverages and an aromatic system derived from a rare flower once valued as highly as gold. The vehicle also includes privacy glass that entirely shields the cabin from outside view and satellite communication systems, ideal for passengers who travel frequently or work while on the move.
Advanced Safety Systems Emphasizing Individuality
The rear seats offer extensive adjustability, including heating and ventilation functions, alongside a comprehensive 22 point massage system that extends to the leg rests, ensuring maximum comfort on long journeys.
Passenger safety is enhanced by specially reinforced rear C-pillars, engineered to absorb strong side impacts, particularly in collisions with larger vehicles such as trucks, offering exceptional protection for rear occupants.
Inside the cabin, natural Himalayan stones are meticulously hand polished, giving each vehicle a distinctive character and turning it into a unique masterpiece. This luxurious ambiance is further elevated by the manual polishing of the front grille and wheels, resulting in a striking visual presence that blends elegance with prestige.
Price Reflects the Uniqueness and Prestige of Zeekr’s Flagship
The Zeekr 009 Grand Collector’s Edition is priced at ¥899,000, or approximately $125,000 USD (AED 457,341), positioning it among the most exclusive and expensive multi seat electric vehicles in the world.
While the standard version already belongs to the luxury segment, this special edition takes opulence to an entirely new level. It is crafted for those who seek a vehicle that blends cutting edge technology, intricate artisanal detailing, and a design deeply inspired by refined elements of Eastern cultural heritage.
