The China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) recently released its "October 2026 China Automobile Residual Value Research Report," in which the Zeekr 9X claimed the top spot on two lists: "Residual Value of Large SUVs Priced Above 500,000 Yuan" and "One-Year Residual Value of Plug-in Hybrid Models." Industry insiders noted that the Zeekr 9X—the best-selling model above 500,000 yuan by cumulative sales this year—topping both residual value rankings dispels the stereotype that "new energy vehicles don't hold their value" in the 500,000-yuan segment, and signals that China's high-end new energy vehicles have seized pricing power and residual value leadership in the luxury car market.
