Top Things That Make the Z9 Gasoline Pickup Irresistible

When it comes to pickups that are built to handle more than just the daily drive, the Z9 Gasoline pickup stands out. Whether you're hauling gear, heading into the mountains, or just looking for a tough truck that doesn't sacrifice comfort, the Z9 delivers in ways that genuinely surprise. The Z9 is more than a vehicle. It's a bold statement in capability, durability, and design. If you're wondering what makes it different, here are five reasons the Z9 Gasoline pickup deserves your attention.

Crafted by a Brand That Knows Trucks

We've spent 32 years engineering reliable, powerful vehicles. The Z9 Gasoline pickup is the latest result of our commitment to smart design and user-centered performance. What makes Z9 special is its foundation: our "α·Star" platform. After three years of development, this off-road platform brings together fuel, electric, and hybrid systems into one versatile structure. That means smarter manufacturing, but also better vehicles - ones that work whether you're on city streets, desert roads, or muddy forest trails. We're not just building trucks anymore. We're building experiences - for people who live, work, and play outdoors.

Power That Handles Everything You Throw at It

What's under the hood matters. And in this case, it's impressive. The Z9 comes equipped with a Renault-Nissan M9T engine, offering up to 140kW of power and a hefty 500N·m of torque. That's the kind of strength you need when pulling a trailer, climbing steep terrain, or getting out of a tight spot in the snow. Add to that the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, and you've got smooth gear transitions, great control, and multiple drive modes for everything from daily commuting to off-road challenges.

You'll also get:

✅ A top speed of 160 km/h

✅ 73L fuel tank for longer trips without frequent stops

✅ Over 10 specialized driving modes, including snow, mud, and desert

This isn't just muscle - it's smart, adaptive performance you can count on.

Built for Real Off-Roading

Let's be honest: not all pickups that claim to be "off-road" really hold up when the trail gets tough. But the Z9 proves itself where it matters - on the ground. With an approach angle of 31°, a departure angle of 26°, and a massive 240mm ground clearance, this truck is ready to tackle rocky paths, deep ruts, and steep climbs without blinking.

Other standout features include:

✅ 100% gradient climbing ability

✅ Wading depth over 800mm - perfect for river crossings

✅ BorgWarner's MLOCK smart splitters for precise traction control

✅ Timed and part-time 4WD that adapts to your terrain

Even better? Its minimum turning radius of 6 meters means it's not a beast to maneuver, even in tighter spaces.

Comfort and Tech That Feel Like an SUV

When you think of a rugged pickup, you don't usually expect it to feel refined inside. But that's exactly what sets the Z9 apart. Step into the cabin, and you'll find a fully digital cockpit powered by our new EEA 3.0 architecture. It's fast, intuitive, and designed to feel more like a passenger car than a utility truck.

Features like:

•  540° HD surround-view cameras (yes, 540°!)

•  Electric running boards that support up to 200kg

•  Rear seats with adjustable recline positions

•  Wide-angle doors that open to 90°

•  A smart, damped tailgate that opens with a touch

You also get dual air filtration, 28 interior storage spots, and the largest cooling system in its class, making long drives - or dusty trails - a lot more comfortable.

Safety That's Built-In, Not Bolted On

Safety isn't optional when you're off the grid - or just hauling your family around town. The Z9 Gasoline pickup is built from the ground up to meet C-NCAP five-star safety standards.

That includes:

✅ A frame made with 97% high-strength steel

✅ Torsional stiffness of 4000 N·m/deg for the chassis

✅ Over 12 million km of extreme condition testing

✅ Reinforced body structure with 70% high-strength steel

Simply put, this truck doesn't just survive tough environments - it's designed for them.

The Bottom Line: Z9 Is Ready for What's Next

From power to practicality, the Z9 Gasoline pickup brings serious capability without sacrificing comfort, safety, or design. It's a truck made not only for hard work but for living fully - whether that means towing, camping, or just driving something that makes you feel in control. At Zhengzhou Nissan, we didn't build the Z9 to be "just another pickup." We built it to become a trusted companion - on job sites, in the wilderness, or wherever the road (or trail) takes you. If you're looking for a truck that handles everything and still makes every ride feel like an upgrade, the Z9 might just be your perfect match.
