A while back, Zeekr announced plans to launch two new models in Singapore in 2025 as part of its global expansion strategy. While not much was shared at the time, we can now confirm that Zeekr has revealed to us the specifications and pricings for one of the new models: The 009 Deluxe.

As previously mentioned, the key difference between the new Deluxe and the 009 Premium/009 Flagship lies in the powertrain, with the former trading power for more driving range. 

The 009 Deluxe offers 574 litres of boot space, which can be increased to 2,979-litres with the third-row seats folded down, eliminating the option and cost of renting a van if you're thinking of moving to a new house

The seven-seater Deluxe gets a single-motor FWD setup that produces an output of 250kW (335bhp) and 373Nm of torque, with a WLTP range of 604km. It's still brisk, though, with a century sprint timing of 7.9 seconds. In comparison, the 009 Premium and 009 Flagship have a dual-motor AWD powertrain that offers a lower WLTP range (582km), but a higher output - 450kW (604bhp) and 693Nm - and a faster century sprint timing (4.5 seconds). All variants share a top speed of 210km/h.

But don't let the lower power diminish your outlook of this new variant. The Deluxe comes with a full ADAS suite, including adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and lane keeping assist system.

And not just that, the new Deluxe's interior is also equipped with all the technological features of the Premium, including the same instrument cluster, head-up display, and the 17-inch OLED roof screen that keeps the backseat passengers entertained.

The interior of the 009 Deluxe is also equipped with 30 Yamaha surround stereo luxury speakers, as well as eight seat headrest speakers, literally bringing the phrase "music to my ears" to life

Speaking of seats, the front driver and passenger seats offer massage, ventilation, and memory features, as well as 12-way adjustment. Second row seats are also afforded about the same level of comfort, with massage, ventilation, and memory features. No 12-way adjustment here, but fret not - second row passengers get the added benefit of leg rests with four-way electric adjustment, allowing them to rest their tired tootsies after a long day.

Like the Premium, the new Deluxe is built on a 400V platform and comes with a 116kWh battery. With a 150kW DC fast charger, the new variant can be charged from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes. It also supports AC charging at up to 11kW.

Four exterior colour options will be available for the 009 Deluxe (Phantom Black, Mineral Green, Grey Purple, and Crystal White), as well as four interior colour options (Stone Grey & Polar White, Midnight Blue & Polar White, Jade Green, and Stone Black).

With savings of up to $43,000 (accurate as of press time), all that the new entry-level variant of the 009 lacks compared to its predecessors is power, although we highly doubt drivers will be using this MPV to compete in races

To put it simply, the Deluxe retains all of the 009 Premium's positive aspects. So, what else does the new variant have to offer besides a longer range?

The answer: A lower price point, with Zeekr announcing that pricing for the 009 Deluxe starts from $359,999, which is cheaper than the Premium's starting price of $402,999 (figures accurate as of press time). And because of its lower power, the annual road tax for the Deluxe is around half of the Premium's, making it the most affordable option in the lineup.

The 009 Deluxe also comes with a five-year vehicle warranty and a 10-year battery warranty, and is now available for order as well as test drives at the Zeekr Singapore Showroom at 9 Leng Kee Road, Singapore 159090. Opening hours are from 09:00am to 07:00pm on Mondays to Saturdays, and 10:00am to 06:00pm on Sundays and public holidays.
