The Zeekr 9X has just crossed a threshold its own manufacturer had left open since its unveiling: it is now available to order in France, in a single trim priced at €119,500. This large Super Hybrid SUV with 897 hp, previously announced without a date or price for the French market, is entering a concrete commercial phase, with first deliveries expected as early as December 2026. Here is what this order opening changes, and what to know before placing one.
Zeekr 9X: the SUV now sold in France
The 9X is the flagship of Zeekr, the fully electric premium brand of the Chinese group Geely, which also owns Volvo, Polestar and Lotus. Until early September 2026, this large SUV remained a waiting game: publicly unveiled, but with no commercialization date or price communicated for Europe.
The shift happened in early September 2026, when Zeekr opened the order book for the 9X in the French market. This is a notable move for a brand that had until now kept this size of vehicle at more accessible price points with its 001 and 009 models. With the 9X, Zeekr is openly targeting the most expensive European premium SUVs, a segment where German brands had faced no real Chinese competitor.
Price and single trim of the Zeekr 9X in France
Unlike most models in the Zeekr lineup, sold in several trim levels, the 9X is offered in a single version, priced at €119,500. This choice simplifies ordering but confirms the model’s very high-end positioning, well above the €59,990 of the 001, previously the most expensive model in the brand’s French catalog.
A few personalization options remain available when ordering:
| Option | Extra cost |
|---|---|
| Lava Grey or Onyx Black metallic paint | €1,900 |
| Body-color grille | €2,000 |
| Black grille (exclusive to Onyx Black) | €5,100 |
| 22-inch monoblock alloy wheels | €1,200 |
| Caramel Brown & Moonglade Blue leather upholstery | €1,600 |
On top of this price comes a financial caveat: manufactured in China, the Zeekr 9X is eligible for neither the ecological bonus nor the conversion premium in France, a disadvantage that affects the entire lineup of the brand.
Super Hybrid powertrain and charging on the 9X
The 9X introduces Zeekr’s Super Hybrid system, a plug-in hybrid architecture combining a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 897 hp. Its 55.1 kWh battery allows for roughly 179 km of range in fully electric mode, a comfortable figure for daily trips before the combustion engine kicks in.
The standout technical feature remains the 900-volt electrical architecture, inherited from Geely’s SEA platform: it allows a 10 to 80% charge in just 9 minutes and 30 seconds on a suitable fast charger, a time close to that of a fuel fill-up. This level of charging performance, rare on a plug-in hybrid, clearly sets the 9X apart from European competitors in this segment. The budget associated with this charging still needs to be planned for, and our analysis of electric car charging costs gives useful benchmarks to compare slow and fast charging.
Inside, the 17-inch 3K OLED screen for rear passengers, the 2,120-watt Naim sound system with 32 speakers, and the dual-chamber adaptive air suspension confirm the model’s high-end positioning, in line with what our full Zeekr 9X specs detail.
Ordering and picking up a Zeekr 9X in France
Ordering the 9X follows the same process as the rest of the Zeekr lineup: online configuration on the manufacturer’s website, or through a dealership within the French network. First deliveries are announced for December 2026, a short timeline that reflects the brand’s intent to quickly capitalize on the announcement effect.
The physical network, however, remains limited at this stage of its rollout. For a Paris-region buyer, the Zeekr dealership in Paris and Île-de-France remains the reference for seeing the range in person before confirming a remote order. More broadly, the arrival of the 9X fits into a momentum already underway with Zeekr’s establishment in France since the brand opened orders in April 2026.
The Zeekr 9X against premium competition in France
At €119,500, the 9X is not targeting other Chinese models, but the most expensive European premium SUVs, whether plug-in hybrid or fully electric. This is a strategic shift for Zeekr, which had until now built its credibility on an aggressive performance-to-price ratio rather than a pure prestige positioning.
The bet is risky: buyers willing to spend more than €100,000 on an SUV remain very attached to established brands and their service networks. As with the rest of the Geely lineup, part of which Como distributes through its Geely offering in the Paris region, trust is built above all over time and through real after-sales network availability, more than on the spec sheet alone.
