Zeekr Malaysia spotlight – Meet the Zeekr 009 with Carro

Let’s face it – most people still think EVs are either too expensive, too boring, or just not worth the hassle. But Zeekr’s here to flip the script.

With the recent debut of the Zeekr 009, Zeekr X, and Zeekr 7X in Malaysia, the premium EV brand is making a bold, disruptive entrance into the Malaysian market. And standing tall among them is the Zeekr 009 – a futuristic MPV that merges performance, luxury, and sustainability in one head-turning package.

Who is Zeekr?

Zeekr is a premium electric vehicle brand launched in April 2021 by Geely Holding Group and is headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.

In just under three years, it became one of the fastest EV brands to go public, IPO’ing on the NYSE in May 2024. More info here.

But Zeekr is more than just fast-growing – it’s changing the game. Powered by Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, Zeekr develops its own battery systems, e-powertrains, and vehicle software in-house.

With Zeekr’s background sorted, let’s dive into the Zeekr 009.

Meet the Zeekr 009

In this article, we will be giving a brief review of the Zeekr 009, which was unveiled at Zeekr & Carro’s MOU recently.

If you’re looking for a mix of luxury, space and EV thrills? The Zeekr 009 is probably one of the most exciting electric MPV you can get in Malaysia right now.

If you’ve already decided, you can book yourself a Zeekr 009 with Carro here.

The Zeekr 009 doesn’t try to look like every other MPV. With its massive grille (yes, EVs can have those too), sharp LED lights and a road presence that screams confidence, this is no family hauler pretending to be subtle.

Inside, it’s all about space and serenity. Think aircraft-grade noise insulation, soft-close doors, a 15.6” floating entertainment screen for rear passengers, Sofaro First-class Seats, and enough USB-C ports for a small office. Everything is built to feel premium, right down to the Nappa leather and ambient lighting.

Zeekr 009 Variants and Pricing in Malaysia

The Zeekr 009 redefines business travel with its blend of luxury, innovation and sustainability – available in 3 variants:

How does the Zeekr 009 drive?

This isn’t your average people-mover. Depending on the variant, you get either a front-wheel or all-wheel drive system powered by electric motors that can deliver smooth and powerful acceleration, even with seven people on board.

The Zeekr 009’s adaptive air suspension helps it glide over Malaysian roads, and the cabin is so quiet that you’ll forget you’re next to a construction site. Whether you’re a passenger or behind the wheel, comfort is king.

We will be doing an extensive review on driving the Zeekr 009 soon, so stay tuned!

Comfort & Interior

Step inside the Zeekr 009 and you’re instantly greeted by a cabin that feels more luxury lounge than minivan. 

The interior is wrapped in premium Nappa leather, with reclining second-row seats that offer massage and ventilation functions – especially indulgent in the Ultra Luxury variant, where they come with tray tables and hidden controls. 

A massive 17-inch roof-mounted screen keeps rear passengers entertained, while the panoramic sunroof floods the space with natural light. Add in ambient lighting, a 30-speaker Yamaha sound system, and smart touches like soft-close doors and a built-in fridge, and you’ve got a ride that redefines what an MPV can be.

Step inside and you’re greeted by Sofaro first-class seats in soft NAPPA leather. The second row features adjustable seats with ventilation, massage and memory settings. The interior includes a built‑in 8.6‑litre fridge, which is a rare luxury even in pricier EVs.

The ride comfort is taken care of by CCD electromagnetic-damping air suspension – dual‑chamber in Luxury trims, and originally single‑chamber in the Executive, though Malaysian models now reportedly also feature dual‑chamber units. 

Tech & Features

• Cockpit is powered by dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 CPUs.
  
• Displays: 10.25″ digital instrument cluster, 15.05″ OLED infotainment screen, 35.95″ AR head‑up display, 17″ OLED roof screen, plus smart‑bar screens in the second row.
  
• Yamaha 30‑speaker surround system with headrest speakers.
  
• AWD trims: electronic latches on sliding doors; Exec has manual wheel adjustment and simpler front doors.

Final Verdict & Recommendation

The Zeekr 009 balances performance, luxury and range like few others in its class. The AWD trims are exhilarating with near-supercar acceleration, while the Executive variant offers better value for buyers focused on comfort and efficiency. The tech-packed cabin, premium materials, and unique fridge feature position it as a true Alphard/Vellfire rival—but with all-electric flair.

If you’re after top-tier performance and don’t mind the price, go for the AWD Luxury or Ultra‑Luxury. But if cruising in comfort and long-range usability are your priority, the Executive trim at RM310,000 is a smart pick.
