The 2026 Zeekr 009 is a battery-electric luxury people mover with a choice of six or seven seats, a 116kWh battery and a dramatic focus on passenger comfort. It is one of the most distinctive EVs now sold in Australia: through August 2026, it had recorded 9,172 year-to-date deliveries in national model-level reporting, putting it ahead of many familiar electric SUVs.
That momentum matters because the 009 is not trying to be another large SUV. It is a 5.2-metre electric MPV built around three usable rows, sliding doors and a lounge-like second row. Australian buyers can choose a more accessible front-wheel-drive seven-seater or two all-wheel-drive versions with either six or seven seats.
2026 Zeekr 009 price and Australian line-up
Zeekr’s Australian range starts at $115,900 before on-road costs for the 7-Seat FWD. The 7-Seat AWD is listed at $135,900 before on-road costs, while the 6-Seat AWD sits at $139,900 before on-road costs. The step between the two AWD versions is primarily about seating format: the seven-seat version uses a 2+2+3 arrangement, while the flagship uses a 2+2+2 layout with two individual second-row seats.
| Australian Zeekr 009 grade | Price basis | Seating | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Seat FWD | $115,900 before on-road costs | 2+2+3 | Front-wheel drive |
| 7-Seat AWD | $135,900 before on-road costs | 2+2+3 | All-wheel drive |
| 6-Seat AWD | $139,900 before on-road costs | 2+2+2 | All-wheel drive |
Prices are Australian manufacturer-listing references before on-road costs. Drive-away pricing can vary with state, dealer and current offers.
For perspective, the 009 is a premium people mover rather than a conventional family van. The entry price reflects its size, battery capacity and standard passenger accommodation, so the key comparison is not simply with an electric SUV. It is whether the ability to carry adults in all three rows, along with the greater second-row comfort, is worth choosing an MPV body shape.
Shoppers weighing its space against a similarly positioned electric MPV can also read our Denza D9 Australia guide, while the XPeng X9 Australia guide covers another electric three-row alternative.

Battery, range and charging
Every Australian 009 uses a 116kWh battery. The 7-Seat FWD has a 250kW single-motor powertrain and a claimed 604km WLTP range. The AWD versions use dual motors producing 450kW and 693Nm, with a claimed 582km WLTP range and a 0–100km/h time of 4.5 seconds.
Zeekr quotes a 10–80 per cent DC charging time of 30 minutes using a 150kW charger. As with any EV, range and charging time vary with temperature, traffic, speed, battery condition and the charging equipment available on the day. For a practical guide to choosing between home and public charging, see evee’s smart EV charging in Australia guide.
| Key Zeekr 009 specification | 7-Seat FWD | AWD models |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 116kWh | 116kWh |
| Motor output | 250kW single motor | 450kW dual motor |
| Claimed WLTP range | Up to 604km | Up to 582km |
| Claimed 0–100km/h | Not quoted here | 4.5 seconds |
| DC charging, 10–80% | Approx. 30 minutes | Approx. 30 minutes |
Range and charging figures are Zeekr’s claimed WLTP references. They are useful for comparison but are not a promise of day-to-day real-world results.
The 009’s large battery is most useful for drivers who make longer trips with several passengers aboard, when charging less often can make the day easier. It is still sensible to plan longer routes around dependable high-power charging, especially when travelling with a full cabin. The quoted 30-minute 10–80 per cent session is a useful reference, but it relies on appropriate battery conditions and charger capability.
Cabin, seating and everyday space
At 5,209mm long, 2,024mm wide and 1,812mm tall, the 009 has the road presence of a large luxury vehicle. Its 3,205mm wheelbase is the more meaningful number for passengers, creating the space for a genuine three-row cabin rather than a pair of occasional-use rear seats.

The seven-seat versions arrange their seats 2+2+3, with a walk-through route to the third row. The 6-Seat AWD instead uses three pairs of individual seats and places a greater emphasis on second-row comfort. Both approaches will appeal to different households: the seven-seater favours carrying more people, while the six-seater puts more focus on the second-row experience.

Behind the third row, the 009 offers a quoted 574 litres of cargo capacity, plus a small under-bonnet storage area. That matters for airport runs and weekends away, where a three-row vehicle can otherwise become short on luggage space. The third row is also accompanied by the sliding-door access expected of a people mover, a practical advantage when fitting child seats or helping passengers out in tighter parking bays.
It is a vehicle for people who regularly carry passengers, not simply a large SUV with an occasional third row. If you prefer a smaller premium EV with a more SUV-like format, the Zeekr X Australia guide is a useful contrast.
Who should consider the Zeekr 009?
The 009 makes sense for drivers who want three proper rows, generous passenger comfort and long claimed driving range without moving to a large petrol people mover. The 7-Seat FWD is the sensible entry point for households that value capacity and range, while the AWD options bring considerably more performance and a choice between seven seats or a more lavish six-seat cabin.
It will not suit every EV buyer. Its size deserves careful consideration for city parking and narrow driveways, and its price positions it well above mainstream electric SUVs. But for airport transfers, extended family travel, executive transport or families who genuinely use all three rows, its distinctive format has clear appeal.
Before committing, it is worth testing the sliding doors, third-row access and how the vehicle fits into the places you use most often. A long wheelbase brings meaningful passenger space, yet it also changes the day-to-day parking experience. Buyers who will regularly use the rear rows should test the exact seating configuration they intend to buy, rather than assuming a luxury six-seat layout and a seven-seat layout will work in the same way for their household.
