Nearly two years after its initial launch, the Zeekr 009 is set to receive its first major update in Malaysia. According to Zeekr Malaysia, the revised electric MPV will go on sale “really soon,” with preliminary details being made available to us ahead of the official launch as part of an early preview in Hangzhou, China.
In terms of visual changes, the new 009 mirrors the latest version in China that made its debut at Auto China (also known as Auto Beijing) in April this year. Put simply, the revisions are minor and include a slightly restyled front bumper, which loses the horizontal chrome accent at the corner air curtains in favour of smaller, vertical ones.
Elsewhere, there’s now a LiDAR sensor on the roof, which was offered in China but left out for our market. This forms part of the new H7 driver assistance system along with 29 sensors, all of which are wired to an Nvidia Drive Thor-U chip to enable additional functions such as remote parking access (RPA) and fingertip parking (FTP).
