2026 Zeekr 009 entry-level FWD lands in Australia with 604 km range and 7 seats
Zeekr 009 2026 entry-level FWD arrives in Australia at $115,900, with a 250 kW motor, 116 kWh battery and 604 km WLTP range, seven seats, and 7.9 s 0–100 km/h.
A new entry-level version of the flagship Zeekr 009 has arrived on the Australian market for the 2026 model.
This front-wheel-drive Zeekr 009 uses a single electric motor rated at 250 kW and 373 Nm. It is said to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 210 km/h.
The car carries the same 116 kWh battery as the all-wheel-drive 009, and its range is rated at 604 km on the WLTP test cycle.
Visually, the front-drive 009 is almost indistinguishable from the AWD model and offers seven seats in a 2-2-3 configuration. Priced at 115,900 dollars, it comes in almost 20,000 dollars below the previously most affordable 009 in the local market. Taken together, the figures point to a pragmatic balance: not chasing headline speed, yet keeping the long-range battery and full seven-seat practicality—an accessible way into the 009 line without diluting its flagship character.
