Minivans have a surprising level of importance in China, sparking fierce competition among automakers to offer the most luxurious and opulent options. Geely is a key player in this race with its new Zeekr 009 Grand Collector Edition, a premium EV featuring 24K gold accents and plush Alpaca wool carpets inside the cabin.

The 5,217 mm-long (205.4 inches) Zeekr 009 Grand Collector Edition builds upon the standard Zeekr 009 Grand, which debuted last year. What sets this ultra-luxury trim apart are the gold details that are found on the bumpers, window surrounds, and side skirts, and which contrast sharply against the black exterior.
The gold accents extend to the badging and the 20-inch alloy wheels, which take design cues from Rolls-Royce, just in case you missed the luxury memo.
A 43-Inch Display
Step inside, and the real showstopper is the carpeting. Made from soft alpaca wool, these carpets are sourced from the necks and shoulders of young alpacas living at 13,000 feet in the Andes of Peru. So, yes, your feet will be treading on luxury. Let’s just hope passengers are mindful enough to remove their shoes, so they can truly experience what $123,000 worth of floor covering feels like.
The interior layout is focused entirely on comfort. With a four-seat configuration, rear passengers enjoy reclining captain’s chairs that feature a 24-way adjustable position, leg rests, retractable tables, and no fewer than eight massage programs. If you still need distractions, there’s also a 43-inch 4K display, electrochromic glass, a Yamaha sound system with 31 speakers, and an 18-liter compartment with heating, cooling, and sterilization functions. This is not your typical minivan.
Power and Performance
The underpinnings are the same as the Zeekr 009 Grand, but the powertrain is no slouch. Two electric motors generate a combined 778 horsepower (580 kW), delivering 810 Nm (597 lb-ft) of torque. This translates to a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of just 3.9 seconds, which is almost laughable for a minivan, except it isn’t.
The 108 kWh CATL-sourced Qilin battery provides a range of up to 702 km (436 miles) on the Chinese CTLC cycle, so you can travel in comfort—and speed—without worrying about recharging too soon.
The Price Tag
The Zeekr 009 Grand Collector Edition is already available to order in China for a cool ¥899,000 ($123,000), making it ¥110,000 ($770) more expensive than the Zeekr 009 Grand. The new flagship trim will be showcased at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, with deliveries expected to commence this June.
Now, about that price: the Zeekr 009 Grand Collector Edition will set you back ¥899,000 ($123,000), which is just ¥110,000 ($770) more than the standard Zeekr 009 Grand. It’s already available for order in China, with deliveries expected to begin in June 2025. If you’re in the market for luxury on wheels, you might want to take a look at the Zeekr 009 Grand, just be ready to break the bank.
Beyond the Grand Collector Edition, Zeekr has also introduced a right-hand-drive version of the 009. Additionally, the upcoming Zeekr 9X SUV will soon join the lineup, expanding Geely’s offerings under the Zeekr brand.
