At Zeekr's stand in Chengdu, the brand rolled out one of the priciest electric MPVs on sale — the 009 Guanghui. This isn't a Chengdu Motor Show 2026 premiere: the four-seat version actually launched back in April 2024. Yet the price hasn't budged. Chinese catalogs still list it at 789,000 yuan, or roughly $109,000.
That money buys more than just a punchier 009 — it buys a VIP cabin for four. A partition with a 43-inch 4K screen separates the driver from the rear compartment, and the side windows can vanish entirely: adjustable LC dimming glass offers ten levels of transparency, switching to its darkest state in about 1.5 seconds.
The hardware isn't an afterthought, either. Two electric motors produce 580 kW, or 789 horsepower, and 810 Nm of torque — enough for a 0–62 mph sprint in 3.9 seconds. A 108 kWh battery delivers 702 km of CLTC range, and DC fast charging takes the pack from 10 to 80% in about 11.5 minutes. Dimensions come in at 5,217 x 2,024 x 1,812 mm, with a 3,205 mm wheelbase.
Here's the twist. The updated regular Zeekr 009 for 2026 now packs 925 horsepower in dual-motor form, gained a 900-volt architecture — and costs just 459,800–469,800 yuan, or roughly $64,700–$69,100. So the Guanghui premium isn't about power at all. It's about the four-seat cabin, the privacy, and the executive-grade trim that no horsepower figure can buy.
Outside China, that gap only widens once import costs, taxes and dealer margins get added on top.
