The Mansory Zeekr 9X widebody is a one-off modification of Zeekr’s flagship plug-in hybrid SUV, unveiled at Auto China 2026 in Beijing. Developed by German tuning company Mansory, the build marks its first project based on a Chinese vehicle. The exterior is extensively reworked with a full carbon fibre widebody kit, redesigned front and rear bumpers, enlarged roof spoiler, and extended wheel arches, significantly altering the SUV’s proportions and surface detailing.
The new vehicle introduces rear-hinged coach doors and a two-tone finish, while the interior features white leather upholstery, Alcantara panels, gold accents, and a centre console refrigerator. The underlying 900-volt plug-in hybrid powertrain remains unchanged, producing up to 1,381 horsepower with a 0–100 km/h time of approximately 3.1 seconds.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Carbon Fibre Widebody Customization
- Widespread adoption of full carbon fibre widebody kits is creating demand for scalable, lightweight customization solutions that redefine vehicle proportions and aerodynamics.
- Luxury Coach-door Integration
- Increasing incorporation of rear-hinged coach doors into mass-market SUVs highlights opportunities to blend theatrical entry mechanisms with everyday practicality and safety systems.
- High-voltage Hybrid Performance Tuning
- The persistence of 900-volt plug-in hybrid architectures paired with extreme power outputs is opening avenues for performance-focused electrification upgrades and thermal management innovations.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Automotive Aftermarket
- The tuning community’s shift toward bespoke widebody and hybrid-compatible modifications is creating a premium aftermarket segment centered on certified, reversible alterations.
- Luxury Automotive Interiors
- Elevated interior treatments—white leather, Alcantara, gold accents, and integrated refrigeration—are expanding demand for customizable, high-margin cabin experiences and integrated comfort ecosystems.
- Advanced Composites Manufacturing
- Growing use of carbon fibre bodywork in one-off and small-batch builds is driving a need for cost-effective, high-throughput composite production techniques and rapid mold tooling innovations.
