Zeekr 009 just made alphard looked like a dust bin... Totally awesome!
暴打alphard
Nope.
Nope, the PQ of Alphard, Velfire scream quality. Just look at how noisy the seat motors in this Chinese car.
When you compare Geely cars from 10-15 years ago to this, it's like traveling between dimensions. The Chinese went from cheap death traps to riveling Japanese and European makers.
Yes, like the Korean car industry but double speed
Yeah the front designs are just as ugly as BMW, Audi, and Lexus.
@@shanewilson2484 Audi and Lexus aren't ugly though 🤔
@@shanewilson2484 They all have huge grills because it seem that this is what chinese people like, BMW has stated this multiple times. 7 Series sells the best in China
@@Blue2024_rs 中国人买品牌的产品最看重的还是品牌本身，而不是产品本身。中国人在汽车消费方面还不够成熟，这可能和中国汽车保有量低有关。中国人多，但是中国人买过的车大部分只有1辆或者2辆。而且汽车文化缺失，还有国家政策也导致这个现象。最后需要注意一点，在中国销售的很多车的设计并不来自于中国，他们很多来自于欧洲设计团队，当你仔细研究后会发现这可能是欧洲的设计师设计的。没有任何地域歧视，其实我也不喜欢这个样子，但是现在很多车都这样，已经形成了一种潮流，可能是为了迎合年轻人的浮躁。
This is one of the reasons Elon Musk flew back from the Beijing Auto Show and placed a hiring freeze on Tesla. I would say that without blatant market barriers to Chinese e-cars the US Auto Industry is completely doomed.
It is fair. If China didn't set up massive protection to domestic brands, forcing all foreign companies (besides Tesla) to collaborate with a Chinese manufacturer, Chinese brands would never have come this far. Auto industry is so crucial to a country, it may not sound very advanced technically to people, but auto-makers create a lot of jobs, maybe not handsomely paid like tech giants, but still a bigger amount of jobs considering all the peripheral industries. A country cannot risk losing its industry by believing in the slogan of free market, as far as the country is no longer necessarily taking advantage of it.
Barrier???? You meant a great wall right? That's why even the Koreans are suing JB!!
I think the Chinese car companies will have a small problem here in the US due to the… for lack of a better word, racism of American consumers. We don’t mind buying things from China, but we don’t spend luxury-item-level money on most of them, and we usually buy them through an American supplier. A Chinese brand is unlikely to succeed in the United States, particularly without distancing the brand from any Chinese business ties, because the barrier to entry in the car market is much higher than social media (i.e. it’s not free for consumers and it costs a fortune to make a car that meets regulations) and the margins are pretty thin (profiteering from dealerships aside.) Personally, I believe this discrimination in the markets is a good thing because I think we spend too much money with China, but we also spend money with lots of people who we probably shouldn’t… so what’s a couple car companies.
@@karlk7070 and you can easily convert that engineering expertise and production capacity during war time.
@@karlk7070 I do think that's fair, but only if the US stops branding itself as this "protector of free trade". The US's "free trade" had always been "free" to whoever they can control or bend to them.
This is undoubtedly a proper luxury MPV, way better than some of the models currently available on the market.

I can imagine that this car is far more handsome if we see it ourself in real life than just looking it at monitor.
Hard to imagine it could be uglier in real life than it appears in this video. 😉
@@SirGregory Well, some said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" 😊
@@ecrush5080 Saw one in real by person, and man, could it not got any uglier, this van managed to get beyond ugliness to a whole new level, i would rather buy a Sienna/Odyessy or any larger EVs like the Rivian R1s or Tesla Model X
@@uhm175 I see... BUT rivian R1? did U happen see this zeekr 009 outside of China or ?
im sure it would look better if you just turn off the monitor
I'm not gonna lie, I genuinely like it. It's a good amount of funky, that chrome in the middle really does remind me of a Rolls Royce. If we had this in the US I'd definitely buy it over the average Sienna/Odyessy or any larger EVs like the Rivian R1s or Tesla Model X (though it is was more handsome in darker tones over colors like white)
actually I saw one in white the other day and I had to say, it gave me a kind of yacht look
Saw one, and it's an absolutely Yuck
Good taste isn’t for sale…. Goddayumn
I don't think it'll come to US……
Gotta say, this looks a lot better in video than in previous photos I've seen. Maybe it's the chrome grille that really nails the "luxury/hig-end" MPV. This does look very classy and high tech at the same time.
It's simply amazing..! ❤️
Looks like Chinese Escalade 🙌🏼
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Pardon me to say, but I don't think Escalade is in the same league as the Zeekr.
@@chuckgoodwish3897 yep but this model is about one third of Escalade in China
I know commenting on the appearance of people is a kind of controversial thing, but Ethan, you’re looking good! The weight loss and increased muscle is noticeable.
Regarding the vehicle, I love minivans. They are better at hauling people and stuff than most SUVs, but they’re more comfortable, more efficient, and generally better performing. The bling front end is a little too much for me, but the rest of it looks very impressive. It’s very nice that it’s an EV as well. For everyone that says that everything from China is cheap junk (a common saying from the racists here in the US), take a look at this. As far as executive transport, a van shape makes way more sense than an SUV or a sedan because you get so much more space.
Regarding the Cd of this vehicle, drag coefficient is only part of the story. It’s possible for big shapes like this to have a relatively low Cd, but because it is so large, it has a lot of surface area, and that negatively impacts the force of air drag.
In my opinion, this is the best looking luxury mpv in the market, looks like it come straight out of a cyberpunk movie or game. Absolutely gonna pick the Zeekr 009 over Alphard, Lexus LM, or even EQS and i7.
Are you joking? lol this is absolutely the ugliest van i've ever seen on a market, that huge front is absolutely hideous, i would rather get the Lexus or the Alpahrd, the EQS or i7, heck i would get a land rover (which i hate) over the zeeker
The only good thing about it, is the rear, everything else looks unmatching the other sides
Look up " We are Openly Trying to Oppress China " on yT.
Openly shocking and insightful........
@@uhm175 so what stopping ya from getting one of those vehicles?
buick gl8 century avenir is pretty cool too
@@cadhlaohanlon4443 He live on mummy’s pension
I've test driven this beast and I can tell you it's one of the best thing I've driven, acceleration - absolute monster, another plus side, you don't even have to care about speed bumps coz the air suspension neutralize it so well!
Glad to see another MPV, Ethan! You are definitely the MVP. Those dancing LED lights are the next trend in cars... there's even companies making aftermarket LED dancing lights for older cars.
The interior is PACKED with luxury. Very nice.
Wheelsboy? More like Weightsboy, if you ask me! Someone's been at the gym. Keep it up!
Great video, as always! The car looks amazing and I love the dynamic between you and Elliot.
This Mpv could easily be used as an Autobot in a Transformer movie.. huge.. Not easy to park in a tight space in public carparks.. excellent features though for an EV.. Mpv. 👍👍👍
It's probably going to be able to park itself by selecting "autopark" function key (using AI autonomous feature in the sw).
The 009 is very impressive.
Great collaboration with Elliot. Subscribed.
This big luxury minivan segment is mostly popular in SE/East Asia, *BUT* interestingly enough, here in Finland which is one of the few countries where Maxus brand cars are imported, we're getting the electric Maxus Mifa 9 soon which will probably be the only market entry of it's sort in all of Europe. I can't think of a single other brand bringing anything like it.
As an Indonesian, you are very accurate! IT IS very popular here in SEA.
yeah big luxury minivan like toyota alphard are very popular in south east asia. And this vehicle are pretty much Alphard on steroid
I know Norway has incredible EV adoption but what is it like in Finland? I’ve been on a road trip to Lapland once and the roads are far and long. Not many gas stations I came across, let alone charging stations.
@@louiszhou5301 It's not quite Norway, but it's speeding up fast. Diesel prices have gone through the roof way past gasoline, so people are dumping diesel fast and hopping onto BEV and PHEV. Some of the most sold new models are electric or have an electric option, ID.4 has far outsold the Golf for VW, etc.
About no gas stations, that has seemingly been a big benefit to more rural car owners here as it's much more convenient to fill your car at home rather than drive out of the way to a far out gas station, as plenty of people live on rural roads in Finland. But distances are long, so it's good that charging infra has been stepping up fast since the start of this decade, plenty of businesses in even my small town are opening customer charging too. I could reasonably drive wherever now with modern batterypacks.
The current wait time for a Toyota Sienna in California is one year unless you pay $6000 on top of sticker price. In other words, there is a market for minivan or MPV in America.
I’m not kidding I actually like the design best looking mini van I’ve ever seen
Minivans/MPVs have had luxury options in Asia for decades! This segment is not new. Maybe not Maybach levels but certainly high end Mercede/BMW/Audi levels. I remember sitting in a mid-row captain chair pulling down a flat screen to watch a VCD, reclining the seat, putting my feet up on the pullout stool, adjusting the personal AC and reaching over for a cold drink from the fridge... In the early 2000's!!!
腿上还应该坐一位辣妹！
The 1st MPV that is some-how "good-looking" instead of cheep-looking IMO... Good work.
This thing seriously need the proper marketing, how can something like this go unnoticed.
There's not even a market yet (in the export scene), so there's not gonna be marketing for a long while.
Who needs a Rolls Royce if you can get one of those for a fraction of the price! Brilliant stuff!
What an incredible design, especially the interior. I would buy this over an Toyota Alphard or KIA Carnival any day of the week!
it feels like two kids are hanging out with their new toy XD
Please do more compact MPVs as well! Loved this review! ❤️
Vertically challenged in a positive way. Just WOW!👀 Fascia kind of reminds me of the CGI rain drops from the Matrix Revolutions.
Love that it's a van 🚐 and not another SUV. A supremely fascinating and unique design idea.
The interior material quality doesn’t surprise me from zeekr. The 001 has carpeting under the boot floor so it shows that Zeekr/Geely go to the effort even on parts you won’t see or notice.
Geely is the parent brand, ZGH or Geely Holding. The content, beyond the SEA platform, is all Zeekr. Geely Autos are different and overall not as premium.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Even Geely vehicles beat out their counterparts for the price point. Even if they are based on the CMA platform. That’s not the point. The point is that as a group their products always have a high finish for the price point.
Geely/geometry are lower priced. But pound for pound against similar prices vehicles they do very nicely. Now is a Geely EV “nice” not particularly but it’s good for what it is.
Ethan, I won't lie I am missing the fanny pack in these episodes.😢
I guess Ethan wants to show off his muscles, instead 😣
WOW! With Fully Charged Eliot!
Way over the top, and so in your face. And I love it
I'm ready to order this Minivan. Please take my money ASAP, Zeeker!
the interior its amazing, love those metal inserts!
I’m salivating… what an awesome looking vehicle!
Just test drove one today. The vans back in the U.S are decades behind. If Americans knew about this sales would drop knowing they are getting something decades old.
The interior of that car is nothing less than perfect
Great video guys
This styling is so ridiculous that it works. I'd love to see these in Europe.
That grille is mesmerizing
What a beast, You guys have the best jobs. 🙂
Love the lights!
Wow, this is wild. Given that this is considerably more over the top than the HiPhi X, I can only imagine pricing on this is going to be well north of 1 million RMB.
around 500k
Surprise! The top trim model costs just a little over 500,000 RMB.
配置上满了，就电池大小不一样分2种:100度的50万人民币，140度的60万人民币。10万美元都不到，0～100公里加速4.5秒的大车。
Half
Wow, that's actually pretty decent pricing for what you get here. Or is it just that the HiPhi X has ridiculous pricing?
Thank you gray polo shirt 😏
These are very interesting videos! I didn't know about the fantastic creativity of Chinese automakers! I've become a fan! Thank you!
I am in love with this MPV
I love the japanese VIP vans like Toyota Alphard and other Toyota Vans and Also Nissan El Grand but this One is also amazing really like this i mean everything, well done.
And this one should be cheaper than the japanese luxury van.
There's a recent direct crash test between Toyota Alphard and a Chinese MPV worth around 300k RMB(~$42K USD), and the Toyota Alphard's first row got completely destroyed, the 3 dummies inside scored a solid 0 safety point, while the first row of the other car wasn't even affected

Nice one sir. Love your reviews. Hope you can feature the 2023 Geely Boyue L soon. More power to your channel.
Love the interior, way better than the exterior.
BMW7RR wants their design back... great video!
Quite a compelling product. Im anxiously awaiting your take on the new Century version of the Buick GL8.
Elliot has all of the personality and charm of a fine grit sandpaper, used.
A crazy looking minivan!
The most important line in this review is that grill will be available in body color as well.
Nice looking MPV!!! Thanks for review guys👍👍
Could you please share us your shooting equipment and lens specifications informations？Your video is the only one wonderful presentation of this car I have seen on net, good job!❣
The waterfall style grille reminds me of 1970s era Lincoln's
4 years ago I meet a China car in Uganda with Toyota Land Cruiser front, BMW X3 side and 1st gen BMW X5 rear so a lot have happen in few years... Great video!
Front / rear end conversion to a RR and this just might be the prettiest and comfiest thing to move around in!
thank for the word of the day: fountain of light😢 so beautiful
Truly impressive.
This car is absolutely amazing imo. The EQS is nothing against it. Bring it to Europe please.
12:46 omg I've never heard his voice go that high that was adorable LMAO
Thank you
Looks awesome...!
Will it be available in RHD? When is it fully in production?
Expected market price?
simply awesome MPV!
这么看，这车很快也会在Fully Charged Show出现😁😁😁
The exterior design looks much better than the leaked photos presented.
If they offer this MPV in Canada. I will buy it without a doubt.
Hi Ethan! Great review as always! Really appreciate you bringing Chinese cars to the world's attention. I think you have talked about which Chinese car brands would make it to the United States first. Any update on this topic or any insight you have gotten from there? Thanks!
After that I am wondering if U didn't miss something 😃🤣 about Tech.. specifications ,nice to hear from U the rest of information technologies...much thanks
warmest greetings from Egypt Cairo 🇪🇬🇪🇬👍
damm, what a monster! really cool!
this is a great car, i really like zeekr
I love these functional basic workhorses for public transport.
great job
If the grill was cut off in the middle, dividing it into two, I think it would look better. I love the headlights, so unique!
BMW X10 plus
Then it will BMW
❤ Impressive MPV Luxury and astonishing build up in High Quality 8K ZEEKR 009 HiTech VAN 😊 needs more Torque 🎉
0 to 100 in 4.5 seconds
This. Is. Freaking. Amazing.
Love those wheels!
I would love to see what the build and material quality is once it’s being mass produced.
Ethan baby that body ❤
I wish this was available in the Nepali market too🤞🙏
Drag coefficient is just a number you multiply your car's frontal area by to get the total drag (not the drag force that also depends on speed). So even the most massive of vehicles can have surprisingly low drag coefficients if they're sleek enough. Supercars tend to have higher numbers cos they have complex shapes for downforce and cooling.
I wish we can get that in Australia
Very nice mini van nicest I have ever seen
Ethan is a hot geek 🔥
It looks like there’s no head up display in 009,please advise
Looks like XPeng is launching one also next year. Any other EV MPV on the horizon?
I need this for my two sons!
begin at 50 0000 RMB .i want to start a EV export business.

Either Democrats or Republicans will surely block it because this is endangering the white superiority.
We need a F-22 in the background to shoot down the "Chinese Balloon"
I like that a pillar design
I wish Zeekr will bring this car to Malaysia
I am ready, bring it to the US.
White supremacy will be endangered by this monster and either democrats or republicans will ban it to put its footing onto US soil.
The memories of Chrysler Voyager come to mind immediately
This car is woooow❤
Is this the moment, the car, that a Chinese manufacturer overtakes Western luxury car brands? Extraordinary....
I really like the unique front and the whole design looks Scandinavia style some talents did a really good job Sigoyi！
