Zeekr is ready to showcase three models during the CES 2025 Zeekr is one of the largest Chinese companies that will be making a huge mark during this year’s CES along with the newcomers 001 FR, 009 Grand, and Mix.`
Zeekr describes itself as a premium sub-brand of Geely’s that falls within a recess of the automotive industry which includes Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. On the other hand, we have taken Zeekr’s X crossover, and Zeke 001 for a drive – it appears that the automotive has the ability to take over the UK auto market. However, it still remains uncertain how exactly is zeekr planning on penetrating the UK market considering that both 001 and the X are contenders for having more market share than the rest of the models.
Moreover, the 001 FR is able to compete premium high performance Tesla Model S Plaid, and the 009 Grand is premier MPV that has ability to transport businessmen with propulsion. The Mix, which is the last of the set, accommodates five people and is able to stand toe-to-toe against a five person variant of the Volkswagen ID monotonous buzz.
In resemblance to the them, and in the case of Volkswagen, there is a rear side door that is opening approximately, which allows for easier access, instead of having a B-column and the 2 front chairs are able to rotate around 270 degrees so as to face the passengers at their rear.
The center console can be moved from the front to the rear and that is similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the car is equipped with a pop out table as well.
At its core, the Mix has Geely’s SEA-M platform, which is a variation of the one that serves Polestar 4, and the Volvo EM80 and 90 along with the Zeekr Model 001 and the 009. The vehicle comes with an 800 V system for high voltage that also has an option of a 76 KWh battery pack or a 102 KWh battery pack range of about 341 miles or 434 miles respectively which was under the CLTC test in China. According to Zeekr, charging the smaller battery from 10 to 80 percent may only take a little over 10 minutes.
On the opposite end of Zeekr’s model range is the shooting brake body variant of the 001 FR which has a 0-62mph time of 2.02 seconds and a max speed of 173mph. It features a quad – motor unit generating approximately 1247 brake horsepower and torque of 1280 newton-meters for the best performance. For added dynamics to the drive set – up, there is also drift mode to the torque vectoring system. Additionally, Zeekr came up with a Raikkonen mode which combined the insights of Kimi Raikkonen – past Formula 1 World Champion to set custom calibrations on the car that would elevate its power capabilities.
In direct competition with the Volvo EM 90 is the 009 Grand model.
The UK market doesn’t really have many premium MPVs to offer, the Lexus LM being one of the few available, as well as the fact that there are very few all electric models, so that is not expected to hit the British showrooms either.
The technologic exhibition will cut out around the 6th of January when zeekr is likely to disclose its future plans, its global strategies and technologies, followed by the CES conference that exhibits from the 7th till the 10th.
