JAKARTA The luxury brand under Geely, Zeekr is ready to equip its newest SUV Zeekr 9X with the most advanced audio entertainment technology in its class, promising an unrivaled music audience experience. The car will be equipped with Naim's world-class audio system, an audio brand from England that is also a mainstay in Bentley iconic models such as Flying Spur, Continental GT, and Bentayga.

Quoting from the Carnewschina page, Friday, August 22, the Naim audio system in Zeekr 9X offers the experience of listening to music like a private concert in the cabin. The configuration includes 32 speakers, eight of which are integrated directly in the chair, so the sound plays in various directions.

Zeekr claims this audio system has 40 independent channels with peak power reaching 3,868W a new record for the car audio system. The system is located using a format of 9,2.4.8, consisting of nine surround sound speakers, two subwoofers, four overhead channels, and eight channels on head support. The frequency range is also extraordinary, from 20Hz to 40kHz.

Moving to its figure, Zeekr 9X comes as a bongsor SUV with a length dimension of 5,239 mm, width of up to 2,029 mm, and height of 1,819 mm, and wheelbase distance of 3,169 mm. This car will be offered with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option using a large battery with a capacity of 70 kWh.

Powered by the latest SEA-S (Haohan-S) modular architecture, 9X combines a 2.0 liter turbocharged DHE20-PFZ engine with three silicon carbide-based electric motors. As a result, the total combined power broke 1,381 cellphones! Acceleration of 0-100 km/hour can be achieved in just 3.1 seconds, with a maximum speed of 240 km/hour.

Efficiency is also the main selling point. This 2.0 turbo engine has a thermal efficiency of more than 46 percent, or 5-10 percent more efficient than conventional 1.5T hybrid engines. Meanwhile, Freevoy batteries made by CATL are available in the choice of 55.1 kWh and 70 kWh, with the largest variant capable of traveling purely electric distances of up to 302 km (CLTC).

The Zeekr 9X will open for pre-order on the Chengdu Auto Show later this month. Although the official price has not been announced, the banderol estimate is in the range of 600,000 yuan or around Rp. 1.3 billion.
