EXTERIOR
The 2026 Zeekr 009 is a first-class electric lounge on wheels that is arguably the best-looking in its class. From the front to the rear, everything is neatly placed for a desired outcome: sophistication. The front fascia is distinguished by a prominent illuminated intelligent front grille that gives the 009 an imposing and futuristic look. The slim LED lighting makes this minivan more perfect than it can ever.
Unlike other minivans that have their A-Pillars visible, the 009 has its A-pillar completely hidden as a curved glass creates a continuous floating roofline. It has a long wheelbase for maximum interior space, and the sliding doors allow easy entry and exit for VIPs. The rear features a full-width integrated crystal LED tail-light bar completing its clean and premium look.
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2026 Zeekr 009 interior is its strongest selling point. Nappa leather, Alcantara, and acoustic glass exude a million-dollar look. If you really want to feel the comfort in this car, don’t be behind the steering wheel, allow yourself to be chauffeured around.
The captain chairs with a 14-way adjustment feature heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The cockpit is a haven for tech. You have a 15-inch central touch display, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 35.9-inch Augmented Reality Head-Up display.
Rear passengers can comfortably access a ceiling-mounted 17-inch entertainment screen, while an 8.6-liter refrigerator keeps their drinks cold and fresh. What more is in a perfect car that has not been encompassed in the 2026 Zeekr 009?

PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2026 Zeekr 009 is available as RWD or AWD. For the Kenyan market, the all-wheel drive is best for excellent traction. Surprisingly, for a minivan as large as this only takes 3.9 seconds in a 0-100km/h acceleration. The small boys with the Golf GTI and Subaru WRX are not ready for such competition on the expressway or the famous ICD Road.
Its suspension system is quite sophisticated. It has a dual air suspension system and continuously controlled damping for a comfortable drive. The 900V architecture allows it to be fully charged in under 10 minutes.
