2026 CarExpert Choice winner: Best People Mover

The Zeekr 009 has been named Australia’s best people mover in the 2026 CarExpert Choice Awards.

It beat out two finalists: the Ford Tourneo and the Kia Carnival.

The 009 is significantly more expensive than either of those models, so why did it win?

Quite simply, this electric people mover is on another level in terms of luxury amenities and performance.

From its fabulously appointed interior loaded with tech to the plush ride afforded by its adaptive air suspension, it's both a compelling people mover for your family and an intriguing new option for drivers needing to transport executives.

Sure, you don't need a people mover to offer higher outputs than a Porsche 911 GT3 or second-row seats with heating, ventilation, memory, massage and power adjustment.

More confidently than any of its rivals, it presents the best argument for why you should buy a people mover over a luxury SUV. Chinese automakers have been building increasingly luxurious people movers for years now, and the Zeekr 009 is the most captivating family-hauler you can buy today.
