Zeekr 9X Review: Almighty Performance & Luxury!

This is the brand new Zica NONE-X. Many people said this car looks like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Well, I think it's even better for a lot less money. In this video, I'll show you guys the exterior, interior features. At the end of the video, we might gonna do some off-roading. The huge vertical grille at the front of the Zica NONE-X As a plug-in hybrid, the NONE-X requires extensive cooling for its high-power engine and electronic control system. So, an active shutter system has been integrated behind the front grille. The horizontal daytime running lights use a crystal-like texture and the reflectors of the headlights are designed with a brilliant galaxy visual effect, shimmering like stars. Even more advanced, the low beams use digital headlights with 1.3 million pixels per side, capable of projecting various images, graphics on the road. The test car comes with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 energy-saving low-resistance tires, which are custom-made for Zica. Both the front and rear are equipped with 22-inch 285 tires, wide enough to match its powerful hybrid drivetrain while also emphasizing its sheer size and bold presence. For sensors, the Zica NONE-X is available in both a standard LiDAR version and a more advanced 5 LiDAR version, which adds four short-range LiDARs for near-field perception. The doors use traditional handles combined with powered opening. The front door opens wider than usual while the rear door opens nearly 90 degrees, which means it's easy to get in and out for Jackie Chan. The lower door edges are fully wrapped to prevent dirt from staining clothes or the side skirts when getting in and out. If this car is a giant white cake, this aluminum-looking C-shaped trim piece is the cherry on the top, highlighting a sense of prestige. The rear is the most youthful part of the Zica NONE-X, featuring wrap-around taillights with the same galaxy-sparkle visual effect in line with Zica's family design. The NONE-X has this split tailgate design. This is actually quite important for large SUVs because if you park close to a wall and you have a single-piece tailgate, then you can't open it. Now you split it in half so you don't need that much room. And this lower half supports up to 300 kilograms, which is more than three me and you can fit three adults here. Or you can use this as a platform to cook during camping or even if you have your camping chair right here. This can be a freaking, you know, workstation. So very convenient. I really love this design right here because when you park on the side of the road, try to get something from the trunk and your normal taillights are up here so the traffic behind you can't really see you. And now with these two, they can see you with no problem. Very nice, very considerate and very safe. You have quite a few buttons right here. This is for the seat to move forward and backward. And this is for the seat back angle adjustments. And if you want both, sort of a, you know, third row seats to fall down, just click that button. And the one above it is to drop the suspension lower so it's easy for you to load and unload. A 220-volt power outlet, that is so useful when you can use this area to cook some meals or make some coffee. All right, guys, thank you so much for watching this video.

The center console features a dual-screen layout both with 3.5K resolution offering crisp and clear visuals. The headliner is wrapped in ultra-soft microfiber suede. All wood trim pieces are real wood with unique patterns for each vehicle. The seats and armrests use top grain Napa leather. It's not the softest, but for sure, it's one of the most expensive. The front roof section features an opening sunroof instead of a fixed panoramic roof. On the ceiling sits a 3K resolution retractable screen that can slide forward and backward, which I will demonstrate at the rear. The audio system is one of the highlights of this car, a luxury setup from NIAM, which is Bentley's partner brand. It delivers over 3,000 watts of power, including 9 surround channels, 2 subwoofers, 4 overhead channels and 8 headrest speakers. The sound quality is exceptional. The speaker grills are exquisitely designed with ambient lighting. On the mid-range section, the volume control knob and this decorative piece right here are made of genuine crystals. Under the center console, the air vents are manually adjustable and offer a wide airflow range. What's interesting is, you see it's black color over here, but on the side, it's silver. Plenty of physical buttons here. This is to open the glove box. Two ventilated wireless charging pads right here. Driving mode selection. The one next to it is for the off-roading. This one is a suspension height adjustment. This is the intelligent chassis control, so the car will automatically adjust its power delivery, suspension height, everything according to the road condition. This button will give you access to all the datas, which I will talk about when we do some off-roading later today. This is obviously the hill descent control button. Beautiful volume adjustment knob. Speaking of secret compartment, this little thing right here is not your phone holder. What it does is, if you pull it, it gives you access to this little hidden compartment. And then you see another one, you want to pull it. No, nothing. But if you push it, there's another one underneath, even bigger. And you can put, you know, your secret phone there. You can put money there. You can put your jewelry there. Nobody would know. It's so tricky, I don't even know how to close it. Yeah, there you go. And you have some storage underneath. Not very big, but it's in a good shape. And then you can put some ID or cards right here. It's very solid, very high quality. All side windows use double-layer laminated acoustic privacy glass with automatic sunshades to further improve rear passengers' privacy and comfort. The second row matches the first in material quality. And this is my personal driving position. And it has very decent legroom adjustments. So one, two, three, almost three fists. Very nice wooden trimming right here. And you have a little table, nice and thick, very sturdy. You use the button on the side to adjust its position. This is the switch for the air vents. There is a button right here. Ta-da! There's another storage box on the door panel. But you need to close it manually. The door itself opens very wide, so it's difficult to reach. And with the push of a button, the car closes it for you. If this screen is too far away for you, check this out. I press this button, it just comes to you all the way from the front. This is quite crazy. If you have kids in the third row, they should be able to enjoy a really good movie or cartoon because the screen is literally just in front of them. The second row center console includes a detachable phone-shaped touchscreen to control many functions of the car. For example, you've got music, climate, seat adjustments. Inside the armrest is a nine-liter refrigerator with powerful cooling down to minus six, I think. Yeah, let's try. Capable of storing ice cream on the go. There's no soft materials inside, so everything can be a little bit noisy when you drive. You have plenty of functions right here as well. Let's try ventilation, massage, and zero gravity mode. This is really comfortable, but I need to keep pushing the zero gravity mode button so the leg rest will extend further. You see, I have to again press it again, so it just doesn't go all the way down. You have to keep pushing it, which is a little bit annoying. Definitely something wrong with this car. In the second row, you've got more phone holders. One here and one right here. Or you can lift this table and put your phone on the top. Or you can put a mid-sized bag or just a lady's purse in the middle. No problem. But this opening right here is a little bit small. You see, I can't fit a bottle of regular-sized water. You can do that, but that's just being creative. All right, guys, I'm in the third row right now. I'm six feet tall and I still got a bit of a headroom left, which is really good. If I set the driver to my personal driving position and the second row to my comfortable position, then I've got nothing. I've got no legroom left in the third row. But the good thing is there are buttons on the back of these two seats for you to adjust a little bit. And what I love the most is even for the third row passengers, they have their own little sunroof so everybody can enjoy some sunshine. Third row amenity includes individual air vents, handle, speaker, this little sunshade, the sunshade on top. If you want to talk to the front, they can't hear you properly. And then you can use this so they can hear you through the speakers. I'm not sure you can hear the difference, but this is really useful. Three-level heating. We don't need that today. Very hot in Yunnan today. And that's the seat adjustments. Cup holder, phone holder, type C, sort of a socket over here. During campaign or, you know, if you want to do some sort of a meeting in the car, you can make the second row turn like 180 degrees. So the second and third will be face to face. And you have little cup holders on the armrest of each side. White, black, and this is more like a light gray or even some sort of like off-white color. It looks really good in flash. I'm not sure that the camera can pick up the difference. And then, oh, this rim. Tell me about it. It's so good. These guys just finished with the off-roading. It's all muddy, but still looking sexy. And this is a dark gray. Look at this. You see the rim is the same, but the tire is changed to 80 tire. All right, guys, let's get started with the off-roading experience. I'm not sure why this time they don't allow us to drive. And because last time in Huizhou, I tried the Zeker 7X. And I actually learned quite a bit off-roading knowledge. And this is a great opportunity for me to use it. But they don't allow us to drive today, which is a shame. A very bumpy road condition. But this is not uncomfortable to me. For passengers, I think it filters the big bumps and dips very well. We are going very fast for this kind of road. The suspension is being set to off-roading mode, which is very high. The suspension travel is at the uttermost. And then you've got the cam pass. You've got the pitch angle, roll angle. You've got very specific details to help you approach angle, departure angle. And you've got the tire pressures on each wheel. So you can monitor everything. Now it's getting really serious. Trees are much closer to the car. The mud is happening now. I need to grab something. This is why we have the AT tires on. I really enjoy the scenery here. Super muddy road again. And going downhill with the muddy environment. We need to be careful. We need to slow down a little bit. Oh my god, the tree was just coming to my face. Okay, this guy trying to impress me. Especially the ladies behind us. Oh my god, it's so close to that tree. Definitely worth it to have a big SUV with very long suspension travel. Then you can visit more places, more versatile places. And with, you know, Zeker 9X, you have the super hybrid system. Which is going to give you very long range and very low energy consumption. And very powerful as well. So it's the best solution under the current situation. Even the AT tire is having a bit of a difficulty. We need more power. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, raining mud. See the glass? Crazy steering wheel movement. Well, that is very intense. So we are giving another attempt. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think we nearly went off to the cliff. It's so dangerous. It was so dangerous. Oh my god. Yeah, you know what? I'm glad. I'm so glad that I did not drive or they didn't allow me to drive. My skill is still too premature for this particular track. I think this car will put a big smile on a lot of people's face. Our camera luckily survived. You see the mud all around it. Other cars very, well, not very clean, but you know, decently clean. This is us. I mean, we definitely had the best ride. The head-up display unit is pretty good. The position is low, very clear. Today is so bright and I have no problem to read the information. And what's interesting is it doesn't give you all the information all the time. It only tells me the speed, estimation, time to the destination. We are turning left in 400 meters. They'll disappear when it's not relevant to give you like less information to process when you drive. The flight got delayed. I slept around 2am and had to wake up early to make videos for you guys, which means I only had three brain cells left. And less information for me to process is really good. The seat itself is very comfortable. Right now I have the ventilation on. I've got a massage, both of them on the level three, which is the most intense level. And another thing I really, really love is the cushion length adjustment. This is by far, it has by far the longest cushion length. So it covers all the way to the end of my thigh. So yeah, this feels like I'm sitting on a couch. It has eight different massage modes. And I think my favorite is the fourth one, because it covers all the way to the middle part of my back. And it sort of pinch inside your waist and your butt as well. It's just properly massaging my butt. And it reaches all the way to the middle part of my thigh. The Zica Non-X uses a double wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. We are on the comfort mode right now, but it feels a little bit bumpy for this kind of car. I'm expecting just it glides over everything. I guess for the people who enjoy driving, this is not necessarily a bad thing. One of the crazy technology this car has is the active anti-roll bar system. By dynamically adjusting stiffness at each end, it compensates for centrifugal forces during cornering. Zica claims that under normal driving, body roll is limited to two degrees. The 70 kWh battery pack ensures over 300 kilometers of pure EV range, which means you can use this car as a regular EV in cities. And then when you do long distance road trips with a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, the car can give you a combined range of roughly about 1,000 plus kilometers. Today we are driving the dual motor version, which means we have a 290 kW motor in the front and 370 kW motor at the rear. The super hybrid system uses a P1 plus P3 plus P4 layout, which means the P1 motor is mounted to the engine and its job is to start the engine and generate electricity to charge the battery. The P3 motor is mounted to the outside of the transmission and its job is to drive the front wheels only. And P4 is mounted at the rear axle and drive the rear wheels only. For the price range, around 70,000 USD, the Zica non-X pushes high-end hardware comfort and luxury to a completely new level. Now is 7 p.m., which is a good time to test this car's autonomous driving system because everybody is off work and so pedestrians, mopeds, you know, so many cars, and it's a true testing ground for the system. And then let's see how it goes. Okay, there's a taxi. Oh my god, I'm not, I haven't stopped. That wasn't me. Okay. Oh, all right. A little bit, you know, nerve-wracking, but I just have to trust the system. Although this is a really expensive car and I'm just a little bit worried. The taxi was on the, you know, right lane and this car in front of us was trying to overtake. And then the car stopped fairly close, but we made it. It still works. So this is only the Haohan H7, so it's not the Haohan H9, which is a more advanced version, but it will be available sometime soon. We are getting close to the hotel and then the goal is for the car to park, find a spot in the park itself. Okay, it's still happening. Oh my god, moped. Okay, I just have to be brave. There's kids in front of us. Should I cancel? Okay, all right, let's just keep going. At least it's really taking its time, waiting for the pedestrians. That is a good sign. You know, that's a good decision. This is technically inside the hotel already and the lines on the road is not very clear. Not anywhere easy on the ground level, but we are going to the underground parking lot and that's going to be more difficult. If the system works here, then outside with proper line marks should be okay. We're heading to B2 now. I think it did fairly well. At the bottom, there's still some space between here so the car can reverse a bit further like the car next to it. But I'm happy with this for now and it gives me higher sort of expectation for Haohan H9 which is a higher level, more advanced autonomous driving system. All right, that's all for today and thank you guys for watching. Until next time, peace.
