Can the car be raised and lowered, using its air suspension?

[@passby8070]

Next to the Zeekr, the Alphard looks like its a decade older in stying.

[@ChinaDriven]

agreed!

[@ericcoskun1]

I own an Alphard and this is definitely the preferred choice for next upgrade.

[@ChinaDriven]

It’s a great option for sure.

[@TsLeng]

Love it. Alphard can't compete against this.

[@ChinaDriven]

Toyota are completely letting Chinese EVs attack their decade plus dominance in this segment too easily. With no EV version it means they will lose many buyers faster in cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen where internal combustion engine number plates are limited and difficult to obtain.

[@HongKong.Shenzhen.]

love this brand

[@fk88]

It’s an interesting proposition. And agree with you that markets in Asia are probably more receptive. In HK too the Alphard is everywhere, but given the small distances, an EV is more than enough, so could really see this taking over. And when not driving yourself, why not get spoiled in 2nd row

[@ChinaDriven]

Exactly. The Alphard is tired, and even the new refresh is not game changing. The only thing it is holding on to is that people know it’s expensive. For some people thats what they want. But others will turn to a better product.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Great car, fantastic video. Love your humor and direct review. I would take four of those over here in the US right now if they let me. Until then, you have earned a new subscriber. Well done

[@ChinaDriven]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub

[@VJ.Vanden_Plas1510]

What a car! Now let us see how the upcoming Volvo version EM90 is going to take its luxury to another level!

[@ChinaDriven]

I heard the Volvo will be RWD only. Which honestly isn't a problem because the Zeekr 009 while hilariously fast, has absolutely no business being that fast!

[@christianh7378]

Not a big fan of the exterior design but interior looks great. Should be doing fine in China. Great review, like your style. Looking forward to more Nio content in the future. 👍

[@ChinaDriven]

it’s a tough look to fall in love with. But if you search images of this thing in all black it looks pretty mean looking! it has undeniable presence! but the interior is definitely the highlight!

[@ohiampuvaoraakkeli3107]

The best car in the world.Very good China!!

[@ChinaDriven]

“Horse for courses” This does it’s intended job very well. But obviously it doesn’t do “dynamic driving” well. Which begs the question…why does it need to be this fast in a straight line!

[@novicepilotaviator5868]

Any synthetic 'vegan' leather option?

[@mohiuddinahmad1792]

Nice video ❤❤

[@ChinaDriven]

Many many thanks

[@gregchristie2763]

As usual..fact filled yet entertaining car review..thanks.. maybe you should go and train the likes of 5th Gear.😮

[@ChinaDriven]

Glad you enjoyed it. And that would be a dream haha

[@lengthao8424]

Want one now.

[@rbusi88]

Amazing! I hope all this competition in minivan wiIl come in Europe, because Mercedes V class it’s overpriced and it’s an old project compared to these vans

[@ChinaDriven]

I’m not sure you’ll see this in Europe which is a shame

[@noijet6002]

My new favorite reviewer😮📺

[@ChinaDriven]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@tonypaca3015]

can you get the xpeng g6 on the channel?

[@ChinaDriven]

We hope we can!

[@HongKong.Shenzhen.]

table1!

[@joeysephora9777]

This looks like a dream minivan. I used to think the Alphard/Vellfire would be the king of minivans for a long time. Now I am very happy to see there is a new Lexus (LM) minivan, a new Volvo minivan (EM90) and this Zeekr 009. For the price, I think the Zeekr is the best value for money as it is essentially a clone of the EM90 which is priced much higher.

[@ChinaDriven]

Wrong way around. The EM90 is a clone of the Zeekr 009. The 009 came out long before they decided to make a Volvo version lol. There a lot of MPV/Minivans coming in China in 2024. Xpeng X9, Li MEGA already have Denza D9, Zeekr 009. There are offerings from Trumpchi & Wey

[@Ankerishacker]

Is there a ZEEKR 009 English software? Looking for ZEEKR 009 with an English interface. Thank you

[@ChinaDriven]

Email [e-mail]

[@marknorth7361]

Would be good to see a comparison against the Denza D9

[@ChinaDriven]

The Denza D9 is definitely popular right now! But it’s a far more traditional Luxury MPV in styling. Combine that with the lower price and it seems to becoming a bit of a winner for BYD

[@morganangel340]

@@ChinaDriven this look way better than D9

[@edwardkon939]

The king will soon be dethroned.

[@ChinaDriven]

Against the Toyota Alphard it’s a compelling product on the pricing alone, never mind the features the zeekr 009 brings to the table!

[@edwardkon939]

@@ChinaDriven Toyota is old school while Zeekr is new school. The new kid on the block should be able to disrupt.

[@reginald7214]

You made cnev post! Good deal

[@ChinaDriven]

Yes you can usually find out written reviews at cnevpost.com/author/synASwjBrdsESQ!!/ and carnewschina.com/author/chinadriven/

[@reginald7214]

Awesome video

[@ChinaDriven]

Appreciate! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤

[@Haripriya-50]

Compare it with new velfire or alphard also volvo em 90 if possible

[@ChinaDriven]

Volvo em90 is based on the Zeekr 009. Roughly the same. Better materials in the Volvo.

[@youngien]

I want one, here in the US a toyota Sienna is going for 50,000.... Most going for 60k.

[@yitezeng1035]

Minivans in the US and Canada are super dull

[@hl3369]

Just wonder what the repair and maintenance cost like annually? Hope is not crazy like the Teslas.

[@ChinaDriven]

I’m not an owner so I couldn’t tell you about the maintenance costs.

[@voltflash8753]

Can the car be raised and lowered, using its air suspension?

[@ChinaDriven]

If memory serves me correctly. Yes

[@christophko5328]

I need this car. Zeekr bring it to Germany!

[@ChinaDriven]

Well supposedly the Zeekr001 and X are coming. Unlikely this MPV will make it. The potential market is too small

[@karlo407]

Nice. But, disappointing that the third row doesn’t fold away to a flat floor.

[@ChinaDriven]

I guess it’s less about Airport taxi and more about lounging around in comfort. Although not completely flat it still folds. so you can put luggage back there

[@karlo407]

@@ChinaDriven Airport taxi? My understanding is that, in China, MPV's are business vehicles. Comfort for executive and customers are important. In the U.S., it ain't taxi drivers. Minivans are for soccer Mom's and recreation; and, the college student parents being able to load furniture and tons of stuff doesn't hurt either. But, it’s not a minivan. It has all the other specs though, for an amazing minivan. 500+ HP, pano glass to third row, >300 EPA miles, big displays for kids. As a minivan, it might decimate the competition for high-end minivans in the U.S. I’m hoping its brethren, Volvo’s EM90, will be a minivan and make it to U.S. shores.

[@ChinaDriven]

@@karlo407 exactly. That was my point. I think the space has been optimised for people rather than carrying large loads

[@Blovelo]

Can you take the 3rd row seats out?

[@ChinaDriven]

Might be able to with a spanner… I can’t say you can’t or can with certainty. They do fold down though

[@tonypaca3015]

best look ever

[@ChinaDriven]

Looks absolutely boss in all-black, no chrome grill!

[@catmac0211]

question is, can we buy it outside china?

[@ChinaDriven]

I don’t believe so at the moment. But Volvo just announced their version of this car. So perhaps that is more likely to come to your market. Depending where you are

[@user-hx1op1gq7x]

This model is coming to singapore this year.

[@W1QA]

Can you say Volvo EM90? :)

[@ChinaDriven]

we’ve heard the Volvo will probably be RWD only. So not as bonkers quick. Which is fine cos no MPV needs this kind of speed. Although it is fun leaving “quick” cars in the dust

[@user-fd9iw9dr4f]

갖고싶다,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@ChinaDriven]

Can have in China hehe

[@lofu32]

I am in the market for an MPV EV. I only have a few comments. 1.) Prefer center console to have more storage like hyudai ioniq 5 2.) Shorter length as being too large might make it unwieldy for day to day. Esp when Im the driver, im using it to drive my family and sometines vip clients

[@j.4941]

What an ugly car on the outside and what a beauty in the inside. With kid #4 oh the way my options are limited - there’s not that much electric going on for 6 people. So I welcome every bit of of option even though here in Europe we probably won’t get this. Strange. I thought families in China were smaller, so why do they buy such massive cars? I mean you don’t buy a car with a third row if you have less than 6 people?!?

[@ChinaDriven]

It's all happening very soon. Xpeng X9, Li Auto Mega and I'm sure plenty of others will enter the BEV MPV segment as well.

[@cruciata295]

because it is not just a family car. also a executive level business car. the back seats serve for reception of important guests or business meeting. same as your S class or 7 Series.
