Zeekr premium electric vehicle market expansion

Overview

Zeekr, a premium electric vehicle brand under the Geely Group, is positioning itself to compete with established European luxury manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The brand utilizes the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform shared with Volvo and Polestar, maintaining a global design presence through its style center in Gothenburg, Sweden.

In Malaysia, Zeekr has introduced the 7X Black Nova, a limited-edition electric SUV with production capped at 200 units. Priced between approximately RM235,000 and RM238,000, the model features an all-black exterior, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a Nappa leather interior. It delivers 646 PS, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, and utilizes 800V architecture for fast DC charging. Eddy Lu, general manager of Zeekr Intelligent Technology Malaysia, noted that strong sales of the standard 7X helped the brand reach a 5,000-vehicle delivery milestone.

The brand’s flagship Zeekr 001, an electric shooting brake, competes in the luxury segment against models like the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo. Looking toward 2027, Zeekr plans to update the 7X SUV with a larger 85 kWh Aegis Golden Brick battery developed by Geely. This battery is expected to provide a WLTP range exceeding 530 km and a life expectancy of 1 million km. While Zeekr maintains a presence in markets such as China and Australia, it has not yet entered the United States market.
