Electric mobility technology brand Zeekr made its Singapore debut with the official launch of the Zeekr X, its first model in the country, at the ArtScience Museum on August 1, 2024. As the latest luxury EV brand from Geely Holding Group, Zeekr aims to deliver a rich user experience by prioritising people and their adventurous spirit. Geely Holding Group owns, invests in, and manages several brands, including Geely Auto, Lynk & Co., Zeekr, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Lotus Cars, London Electric Vehicle Company, Cao Cao Mobility, and the aerospace technology company Geespace.

Zeekr operates its R&D centre and design studios in Ningbo, Hangzhou, Gothenburg, and Shanghai, featuring cutting-edge facilities and top-tier expertise. Since starting vehicle deliveries in October 2021, Zeekr has delivered over 300,000 units, including models like the Zeekr 001, Zeekr 001 FR, Zeekr 009 MPV, and Zeekr X urban SUV. The company has announced plans to expand its sales to European, Latin American, and other Asian markets, with an ambitious roll-out plan over the next five years to meet the rapidly growing global demand for electric vehicles. Zeekr’s brand expansion to Thailand and Dubai in July is part of its ambitious plan to expand its sales network globally. Deliveries of vehicles have begun in Europe. Zeekr is represented by Premium Automobiles in Singapore.

“As Singapore continues to progress its EV transition, we believe that there is a desire for EVs that go beyond being simply a form of conveyance, to offering a premium driving experience with conveniences that elevate urban living. We are optimistic that our launch today will grow our footprint across Southeast Asia and beyond.” 

Mr Mars Chen, Vice President of Zeekr 

The Zeekr X is a premium compact SUV equipped with a proprietary electric motor and battery technology to achieve an optimal balance of long-range, high efficiency, and impressive performance. Its 66kWh lithium-ion battery, positioned beneath the floor, enhances interior space and lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity. Using nickel manganese cobalt (NCM) cells from CATL, the battery ensures maximum energy density and durability, backed by an eight-year/160,000 km warranty.

In the single motor, rear-wheel drive Standard Model, the 66kWh lithium-ion battery offers a range of up to 440 km (WLTC). The 150kW DC charging capability can recharge the battery from 10-80% in under 30 minutes, while the standard 11kW AC on-board charger can fully charge it in about seven hours (7.2kW for Standard Model, 11kW for Flagship Model).

A 5G-enabled digital cockpit featuring a Qualcomm 8155 chip provides connected features and intuitive controls for an immersive experience. Over-the-air software updates keep the system current and continually improve it with new features.

The Zeekr Voice Assistant allows for easy control of various vehicle features, including navigation, climate, and media playback, using natural voice commands.

There is also an ice box conveniently below the arm rest, between the front seats so you can keep your beverages chilled.

The parked Zeekr X offers predefined convenience modes. In Theatre Mode, the seats automatically adjust to an optimal position for enjoying music. Pet Mode maintains the cabin at a comfortable temperature and displays a message on the touchscreen to reassure passers-by that any pets inside are safe and comfortable.

Sentry Mode records video of the area around the vehicle if suspicious activity is detected while the Zeekr X is parked and locked. The driver can access these recordings, which are stored on the car’s built-in hard drive or on a USB flash drive plugged into the USB interface.

You can view and test drive the Zeekr X at the Zeekr Experience Centre at 9 Leng Kee Road. The vehicle is available starting at S$199,999 for the rear-wheel drive (RWD) model, and S$214,999 for the all-wheel drive (AWD) model.
