In today’s market, there is a “high-profile” car brand that believes capturing user pain points is more important than creating a “best-selling” car, and strives for every product to become a hit. This brand is Jike. Now, after creating the Jike 001 FR pure electric hunting beast, Jike has decided to create a top luxury product MPV for the high-end crowd again. This product is our protagonist today – Jike 009 Glory.
At first sight, it is difficult to distinguish between the glory of the extreme krypton 009 without doing enough homework. In fact, for many high-end users who are passionate about MPV travel, there is often a more low-key way of doing things. Of course, if you quietly admire the brilliance of the extreme krypton 009 for even half a minute, that innate sense of luxury will infect you.
Positioned as “four luxury flagships”, the Jike 009 Glory, like other well-known luxury brands, pays attention to details in design. It is not an exaggeration to say that if you dismantle the Jike 009 Glory, you will get countless luxury items. The Jike 009 Glory features an exclusive BLACK BADGE front grille, polished to a mirror-like finish by top craftsmen, taking over 30 hours to complete by hand, and only one piece is polished per week. From this perspective, each Jike 009 Glory is unique.
In the central front of the car, a laser radar can also show the difference between Jikui 009 Glory and the Jikui 009 on sale. With a perception hardware combination led by laser radar, Jikui 009 Glory’s NZP can automatically access and exit ramps, cruise, lane changes, etc. based on navigation paths in high-speed and urban expressway scenarios, significantly reducing driver fatigue on medium and long-distance drives. In the face of extreme weather and poor visibility conditions such as tunnels, NZP can also more accurately identify lanes and obstacles, providing another guarantee for passenger safety.
Arriving at the side of the car, the sense of solemnity and majesty originally present on the Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge is further enhanced. The chrome trim on the roof and side skirts, as well as the decorative plate on the C-pillar, cleverly complement the front grille of the BLACK BADGE, while the wheels below undoubtedly attract more attention.
20-inch forged wheels, meticulously polished by hand for over 20 hours, showcasing a mirror-like finish. The surface of the wheels features laser-engraved patterns, creating a delicate and lightweight visual effect. In terms of performance, forged wheels are known for being lightweight and high-strength.
The hub center adopts a fixed suspension hub cover, which is a common technique used by super luxury brands – no matter how fast the wheels turn, the ZEEKR logo remains stable, showing luxury in detail once again.
The rear of the car has not been extensively modified, but even a “009 Glory” exclusive tail label is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this car. The official statement is ambiguous: most people can follow the glory, only a few can become the glory. Unlike regular test drives, this immersive experience of the Extreme 009 Glory will focus on test rides instead of test drives, with a focus on sharing the experience of sitting in the second row with everyone later.
Take a look at the front row. The Geely 009 Glory has not compromised the intelligence and comfort of the front row despite changes in positioning. The 15.05-inch central control screen has a resolution of up to 2.5K, the only one in its class to use Tandem OLED independent lighting technology. With the support of the Snapdragon 8295 chip, the screen’s smoothness and stability are guaranteed. The size of the AR-HUD in front of the driver is 35.95 inches, with a brightness of 12000nit, providing clear and comprehensive driving information in any external light conditions.
And if we have to point out the only “shortcoming” in the front row, it would probably be the partition added to improve the privacy of the second row, making it difficult for the front row seat back to recline too far back. Of course, considering the practical use of the Glorious Extreme 009, the front row occupants will not mind this. Next, our immersive experience officially begins.
Arriving at the back row, spacious space, exquisite materials, instantly immerse the soul, luxurious configuration armed to the teeth without any hint of exaggeration. The main body of the front and rear row partition is a 43-inch cloud intelligent screen, using Mini LED backlight source, the screen resolution reaches an astonishing 3840×2160, with over 90% DCI P3 ultra-wide color gamut, HDR 1000 high dynamic contrast, presenting more vivid, delicate, and realistic color effects.
The seats are an important criterion for measuring the luxury of an MPV, and Jike official boldly claims that the glorious seat of Jike 009 is worth 500,000. How comfortable and luxurious are these two seats? Let’s keep you in suspense and read on.
If wood trim can naturally create a luxurious atmosphere, then the magnificent Himalayan stone trim of the Jike 009 Glory can only be described as majestic as the rockeries in Suzhou gardens. The marble is sourced from the world’s high-quality stone-producing region of Rajasthan, India, and undergoes a dozen precision mechanical cutting and manual peeling processes to form approximately 1mm thick stone pieces, not only with natural textures and three-dimensional effects that are difficult to imitate, but also a luxurious icy touch. The use of this natural material “confirms” the uniqueness of each Jike 009 Glory.
In the center below the screen is an 18L smart temperature control box. The temperature control box supports cooling from -6°C to 15°C and heating from 35°C to 50°C, with functions such as UV sterilization, constant temperature mode, digital display, and can be controlled through an 8-inch smart control screen located on the rear armrest or remotely managed through a mobile app.
Under the curtain wall, there are two large storage spaces on the left and right, each with a capacity of 24 liters. The left side also has three common power interfaces. As for the function of this storage space, it’s up to you to imagine. In addition to bags, books, laptops, I also thought of one thing – shoes. You may find it strange to put shoes there, but in the glorious second row of Jike 009, this operation seems reasonable and appropriate.
For bosses, choosing the extremely luxurious Glorious 009 vehicle is to relax during busy commutes. The second row features ultra-soft foot pads made of Australian natural wool, with an average thickness of 15mm, giving a feeling of “walking on clouds”.
At the door panel, there are car door and window control buttons, as well as crystal-like seat control buttons. The Chinese “open door” and “close door” symbols are more advanced compared to traditional unlock and lock symbols. Placing seat control buttons in this position will also meet the habits of many users.
Both the left and right seats have wireless charging slots for phones on the outer armrests. Compared to the vertical plug style, you can see the phone light up when receiving messages even while charging. For high-end users, efficiency in charging and accessing information is crucial.
Similar reading light designs are not uncommon now, but seeing it on the Glorious Extreme Krypton 009, you can quickly imagine the scene of the boss sitting in the back seat flipping through paper documents. Next, let’s talk about these two seats worth 500,000 each.
The 8-inch intelligent control screen mentioned earlier is located between two seats, allowing control of almost all rear seat configurations. In the Geely 009 Glory, you will see many redundant configurations for adjusting seats, windows, screens, etc. This redundancy is a luxurious feature that makes operation more convenient for customers.
In the control panel, you can find almost all the configurations you can imagine on these two seats. Besides basic functions like ventilation, heating, massage, leg rest adjustment, and headrest adjustment, they even have a “therapy” feature.
The leather used for the seats is selected from natural high-quality pastures in Bavaria without wire mesh. The selection process is very strict. The seats are filled with the industry’s most 11-layer structure, with a 20mm thick memory rebound sponge layer that has high-density slow rebound characteristics, soft but not sinking.
In the therapy mode, all heating areas use graphene heating, which heats evenly and quickly, and dissipates heat evenly. Neck pillow, backrest, seat cushion, leg support, left armrest, right armrest, and even foot pedals have heating areas, providing therapy in all directions, and have 3 levels + AUTO mode adjustment function.
The headrest also supports manual adjustment, another redundancy here.
The industry’s most advanced LC smart dimming glass is used on both sides of the car windows. It only takes 1.5 seconds to adjust from the brightest to the darkest. When in the darkest mode, it can isolate 99.9% of ultraviolet rays and still remain clear without excessive fogging. In addition to manual adjustment of the “privacy level” like in the picture, the windows can also automatically adjust the light transmission when switching between multiple modes such as meeting, cinema, rest, and privacy.
The opening and closing of the sunshade can also be controlled by adjusting the screen. When fully open, the rear space will be much clearer and more comfortable.
As a tool for high-end users’ travels, a more private storage space is essential.
Located between two seats in the middle, opposite the refrigerator are two safes, which can be independently controlled by password to open and close electrically.
In the hidden armrest box above, a remote control was found. With it, the smart screen can be fully used as a “big TV”.
Physical buttons are located below the control screen, which can adjust the privacy level and volume of the windows. On the right side, there is a touch button for “closing eyes” and a physical button for “microphone”, which is surprising: the former is used to control the transparency of the narrow glass above the partition, while the latter can communicate with the front row through voice when activated. Without activating the voice communication between the front and rear rows, the rear row can hardly hear the front row speaking normally, and vice versa.
The table top is designed in a wing shape, similar to that of a private airplane. It is covered in ultra-soft aniline leather, the same material as the seats. The base material is pure metal, providing stability and durability.
After getting the remote control, it is very natural to think of using the smart screen for watching movies. And I must say, the experience of watching movies in the back row of the Jike 009 is far more thrilling than in a movie theater.
The JBL 009 is equipped with a Yamaha sound system with 31 speakers, reaching a maximum power of 3000W. The 7.1.6 three-dimensional sound field combined with Dolby sound effects delivers a full auditory experience.
In addition, after verifying the composition, layout, and angle of the rear speakers, coupled with Yamaha’s top-notch tuning, the rear can further achieve ultimate spatial surround sound effects. And that’s not all – the 5D cinema function of Extreme Krypton 009 is also added, creating a more immersive experience by linking movie plots with cabin audio, air conditioning, ambient lighting, seats, and aroma systems.
After adopting the four-seat layout, the Geely 009 still has a very spacious trunk, with a clothes rack interface at the top, turning the trunk into a small wardrobe is just right.
Arriving at the dynamic experience section. Let me introduce the parameters first. The Jike 009 Glory is equipped with a high-performance dual-motor four-wheel drive system consisting of a front AC asynchronous + rear permanent magnet synchronous motor. Both motors use silicon carbide power semiconductor technology, with a maximum system power of 580kW and maximum torque of 810N·m. This allows the Jike 009 Glory to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 230 km/h. To be honest, before this car, I couldn’t imagine “MPV” and “3-second level” together. But during the driving process, after actively requesting the driver to step on the “floor electric”, I truly felt the exhilarating sensation of “out-of-body experience” in the back seat.
The all-new dual-chamber air suspension system used in the Extreme K001 also appeared on the Extreme K009. The height and stiffness of the new dual-chamber air suspension can be adjusted. The body height adjustment range reaches 55mm, supports five levels of adjustment, different driving modes correspond to different air spring heights, the vehicle will automatically lower the chassis to improve stability as the speed increases. In single-chamber mode, it has higher suspension stiffness to meet the needs of more aggressive driving, while in dual-chamber mode, it will reduce stiffness to maximize comfort. During the actual test ride process, especially on city paved roads, all impacts from the road surface are isolated under the platform, only hearing the subtle “clicking” sound after passing through road potholes.
During driving, navigation information can be extended to the smart screen and linked with the front control screen. This function seems more ceremonial than practical, like checking the route information on an airplane. You know where it’s going, you don’t have to drive, but you just want to enjoy the feeling of controlling the information.
The importance of NVH effect on the brilliance of the extreme Krypton 009 far exceeds performance. Despite using intelligent dimming glass, the new car can still isolate most of the wind noise outside the cabin while driving. Quiet cabin, smooth driving, plus two top-of-the-line seats, this comfort is unmatched even by high-speed rail first class cabins.
Do you have trouble seeing ahead while driving? Do you feel uneasy or dizzy? Remember the small camera at the partition? You can use the smart screen to see the road ahead in real time and most of the front cabin scene.
In addition, even on the entertainment page, the intelligent screen will display the current vehicle speed in the upper right corner, allowing passengers to have a basic understanding of the current driving status.
Finally, let’s talk about endurance and fast charging. The CLTC comprehensive endurance of Jike 009 reaches 702km, perfect for frequent intercity commuting in the Yangtze River Delta region. The fast charging capability of Jike 009 is impressive, with a maximum charging rate of 5C, maximum current of 778A, and maximum charging power of 560kW. From 10% to 80% SOC, it only takes 11.5 minutes. With the continuous construction of Jike V3 ultra-fast charging stations, the fast charging experience for all brand models will be further improved.
Summary: In today’s competitive market, while other brands engage in price wars, Jike can remain unaffected and create the Jike 009 Glory product for specific users, proving once again the brand’s values. Creating products that solve pain points is crucial, rather than following trends blindly. The birth of Jike 009 Glory will elevate the exploration of the entire independent brand in the luxury field to new heights, boosting consumer confidence in independent brands and potentially becoming a unique social asset in high-end circles.
