It was also run over by nine passenger cars. The foam structure showed no degradation in vibration-damping performance as well. On September 21, Zeekr officials shared a video with an unusual test of the 2026 model year 009 MPV’s foam structure. According to the automaker, it has a pioneering “sandwich” seat suspension structure. Its top layer consists of high-resilience foam. The second layer is made of high-density quick-response foam. The lower layer is softer foam. Its vibration-damping performance is 1.5 times that of ordinary car seat foam. In the video, a piece of the Zeekr 009’s foam was run over by nine Zeekr-branded passenger cars, starting from the 1.9-ton Zeekr X urban crossover and ending with the 2.9-ton Zeekr 009. Other cars featured in the test are the Zeekr 007, the Zeekr 7 GT, the Zeekr 7X, the Zeekr 001, the Zeekr Mix, the Zeekr 8X, and the Zeekr 9X. Their combined weight is around 20 tons. The 20-ton Farizon Homtruck H heavy-duty truck with a weight of 20 tons followed the nine mentioned vehicles, running over the foam piece. Shortly after, this foam piece’s vibration-damping performance was tested, showing no signs of degradation. The foam’s structure also remained unchanged. The Zeekr 009’s seats are covered with Nappa leather. The second-row captain chairs can rotate by 180 degrees and support zero-gravity mode. Other features include a power legrest, 22-point massage, heating, and ventilation functions. The Zeekr 009 is a large vehicle with dimensions of 5217/2024/1812 mm and a wheelbase of 3,205 mm. Its entry-level version for the domestic market offers a single 310 kW (416 hp) e-motor in the front axle powered by a 108 kWh ternary NMC battery for 740 km CLTC (607 km WLTP). The dual-motor version has a peak power output of 680 kW (912 hp) and a 115 kWh NMC pack for 720 km of range under CLTC conditions (590 km WLTP). The Zeekr 009 costs 439,800 – 469,800 yuan (65,665 – 70,145 USD) in China. According to China EV DataTracker, the 009 minivan’s deliveries reached 12,405 units from January to August 2026, down 12.8% Year-Over-Year. Most important news in your inbox.
