According to Yang, Zeekr vice president Lin Jinwen stated that based on the current trend of increasing firm orders, the updated Zeekr 001 is expected to surpass 30,000 firm orders in its first month of availability.
“This is a very rare achievement in the current situation,” Yang remarked.
The updated Zeekr 001 was officially launched on February 27, with deliveries starting on March 1. It continues to offer four trim levels, including two WE versions starting at RMB 269,000 yuan, an ME version starting at RMB 299,000, and a YOU version starting at RMB 329,000.
