Zhao Xintong has made history by becoming the first Chinese and first Asian player to win the World Snooker Championship, defeating Mark Williams 18-12 in the final on May 6, 2025. This monumental achievement has brought significant attention not only to his sporting prowess but also to his unique vehicle: a customized Zeekr 009 MPV.

Following his victory, images of Zhao Xintong’s Zeekr 009 surfaced, showcasing a distinctive design tailored to the snooker star. The vehicle features a striking black and green two-tone paint scheme adorned with exclusive “147” (highest possible score in a snooker game) graphics, snooker balls, and a cartoon image of Zhao himself. This personalized livery is described as being highly consistent with Zhao Xintong’s personal image.

The Zeekr 009 is an all-electric MPV from Zeekr, a high-end EV brand under the Geely Group. It is built on Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform. The 009 is powered by a dual-motor drivetrain, with each motor producing 272 hp, resulting in a combined output of 534 hp. Zeekr claims a top speed of 190 km/h (approximately 118 mph) and a range of 700 kilometers (NEDC), utilizing a 100 kWh battery pack. The vehicle measures 5209/2024/1856mm in l/w/h, with a 3205mm wheelbase and a curb weight of 2830 kg. It typically offers a six-seat configuration.

Last year, the 4-seat Zeekr 009 Grand was launched in China with 580 kW (777 hp), 702 km of range, and a starting price of 789,000 yuan (109,000 USD). Last month, positioned as “the most luxurious MPV made in China”, the Zeekr 009 Grand Collector Edition all-electric MPV officially entered the market priced at 899,000 yuan (123,200 USD) and is positioned above the Grand Edition, with gold decorative parts added to the exterior and interior.
