How Z9 Makes Travel Stress-Free for Every Terrain

Z9 for Every Terrain is our promise to make travel stress-free, whether you're crossing city streets, mountain passes, or desert trails. As the manufacturer, Zhengzhou Nissan builds the Z9 with one clear goal: reduce your effort and increase your confidence on every road and every surface.

Z9 For Every Terrain, Zero Stress

At the heart of the Z9 are two proven engines that keep you moving with calm authority. Our 2.3T diesel (M9T) delivers a class-defying 500 N·m of torque and 140 kW of power. It pulls hard from low revs, sips fuel at just 7.7 L/100 km, and handles complex terrain without strain. For drivers who prefer gasoline smoothness, the 2.0T (4K31) offers 190 kW and 400 N·m with a frugal 9.1 L/100 km. This balance of punch and efficiency turns long trips into easy, predictable journeys.

Matching that muscle is the ZF 8AT - yes, the same brand gearbox trusted by premium cars. It supports the Z9's high torque, keeps revs in the sweet spot, and shifts in under 0.5 s for seamless acceleration. The transmission's wide ratio spread blends strong launch performance with quiet, low-rpm cruising. Its compact, highly integrated design reduces weight and improves response, and its long-life, maintenance-free gear oil underscores our reliability ethos.

  • Smooth, fast shifts under 0.5 s
  • Wide ratio spread for both power and economy
  • Supports up to 500 N·m; compact and efficient
  • Long-life durability with maintenance-free gear oil

When you're fully loaded, the Z9 still gets off the line with composure. From 0 - 40 km/h, it sprints in only 3.4 s - quicker than rival pickups - so merging, ramp starts, and steep work sites feel simple. That is what "Z9 for Every Terrain" means in daily life: fewer worries, fewer delays, and more time enjoying the drive.

Intelligent Control And Cooling That Never Quits

Modern travel demands intelligent traction and real thermal endurance. The Z9 delivers both. You can choose 2WD or 4WD, then tailor grip with ten all-terrain modes - Standard, Eco, Sport, Snow, Desert, Rock, Mud, Expert, Tank Turn, and Crawl. Switch as conditions change; the vehicle adapts so you don't have to overthink the road ahead.

  • Ten modes for all surfaces: from city rain to dune ridges
  • Tank Turn and Crawl for tight spaces and technical climbs
  • Electric power steering for precise control with less effort

Harsh climates expose weak cooling systems. That is why we engineered the Z9 to keep its cool in places that punish machines. In Turpan, with ambient temperatures above 45 °C, we ran more than 50 full-throttle acceleration and deceleration cycles, plus high-speed climbs, without any high-temperature torque limiting. Our radiator produces up to 1000 W of cooling power, with a 22.4% open area for rapid heat exchange; the fan moves 6685 m³/h of air to pull temperatures down fast - cool-down response shows in as little as 15 seconds. We validated in Chuxiong and Chamdo as well, combining heat and altitude on grades steeper than 15% while fully loaded, again with no high-temperature torque limiting. That is stress-free travel proven by numbers, not slogans.

Dust can also be a silent threat. The Z9 offers an optional cyclone air-filtration structure - technology usually seen on off-roaders above the 400,000 RMB tier. It uses centrifugal force to strip large particles from intake air, protecting the engine in sandstorms and extending service intervals well beyond conventional systems. Think of it like the "range hood" for your engine bay, keeping the intake stream clean when the landscape is anything but.

Designed Around Real Drivers

Capability matters, but comfort carries you the rest of the way. The Z9 passenger edition rides on a five-link rear suspension that calms rough surfaces. Double laminated glass helps keep the cabin quiet. Heated defrost clears the view quickly on cold mornings. Our "breathing" running lights add clear communication to other road users, while the robust chassis and precise steering make long distances feel short.

We also prioritized simple ownership. Euro VI C emissions compliance reflects clean performance. The drivetrain accepts constant load without drama, and the ZF 8AT's efficiency helps you go farther per tank. For buyers asking about a "diesel pickup for desert driving" or "stress-free off-road pickup travel," the Z9 provides a direct, data-backed answer: high torque, low consumption, rapid cooling, and modes that fit the moment.

In daily operations, these details reduce fatigue. You accelerate briskly even with cargo. You pick a mode, point the nose toward your destination, and let the vehicle's systems manage traction and temperature. Fewer stops to cool down. Fewer second guesses about gear choice. More predictable, safer movement in places where uncertainty used to slow you down.
