Zeekr, the premium electric vehicle brand under Geely Holding Group, has unveiled an upgraded version of its Zeekr 009 MPV. While the starting price has seen a modest increase of about $140, the new model now includes several previously optional features as standard, offering better value for money than before.
Refreshed Design and Launch Details
Originally launched on November 1, 2022, the Zeekr 009 MPV was the company’s second model following the Zeekr 001. The latest upgraded version is set to hit the roads in February 2023, continuing Zeekr’s momentum in the luxury EV segment.

The Zeekr 009 MPV remains available in two main variants: WE and ME.
- WE version – now starts at RMB 500,000 ($70,350), up slightly from RMB 499,000.
- ME version – retains its price at RMB 588,000 ($82,700).
Despite the minor price increase, the new package delivers enhanced value with added premium features.
