In addition to these two models, Zeekr is preparing to launch a third model – the compact Zeekr X – which was previewed a month ago. The Zeekr X is an all-around SUV that can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds and will be the performance ceiling of any A-class SUV. The vehicle will be built at Geely’s plant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, unlike the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr 009 which are built at Zeekr’s plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang province.
Zeekr currently has more than 270 offline stores covering nearly 70 major cities as of February 28. Last month, Geely announced that Zeekr secured $750 million in Series A funding from five investors, which will bring Zeekr’s valuation to $13 billion upon completion of the investment. Zeekr aims to reach annual sales of 650,000 units by 2025 and have the top three global market share in the premium EV market. Furthermore, the company plans to expand its global market coverage by entering the European market in 2023.
