Capital Smart Motors has successfully imported the Zeekr 009, China’s flagship luxury electric MPV, with the vehicle clearing Pakistani customs. The ultra-premium seven-seater targets Pakistan’s luxury automotive segment with unprecedented features and technology.
Pricing Breakdown and Import Costs
The Zeekr 009’s final price reflects Pakistan’s challenging import duty structure. The declared customs value stands at USD 64,766 (Rs. 1.82 crore), while EV duties add another USD 66,708 (Rs. 1.89 crore) – effectively doubling the vehicle cost at 103% duty rate. This brings the ex-factory price to approximately USD 131,474 or Rs. 3.73 crore, excluding dealer margins, registration, insurance, and other charges.
Five-Star Hotel on Wheels Experience
The MPV justifies its premium positioning through exceptional luxury features. The second-row captain’s chairs feature Nappa leather with heating, ventilation, massage functions, and zero-gravity recline capability. Passengers enjoy Yamaha roof speakers, overhead entertainment screens, and climate controls integrated into touchscreen interfaces.
The third row surpasses typical MPV standards with proper reclining seats, leather armrests, ambient lighting, and individual climate vents. Up front, drivers experience premium materials including Alcantara headliner, massaging seats, wireless charging, and heated steering wheel.
Performance and Practicality
Despite luxury focus, the Zeekr 009 delivers impressive performance with 536 horsepower and 580-kilometer range. Fast charging technology enables 10-80% battery replenishment in approximately 12 minutes, addressing range anxiety concerns.
At Rs. 3.7-4.0 crore, the Zeekr 009 competes directly with established luxury brands like Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. However, its success depends on Pakistan’s charging infrastructure development and market acceptance of ultra-luxury electric vehicles.
The arrival signals Chinese automotive manufacturers’ serious intent to penetrate Pakistan’s premium segment while highlighting infrastructure readiness questions for electric luxury vehicles.
