Zeekr teases its next EV – a luxury multi-purpose vehicle called the ZEEKR 009.

 

 

Geely-owned EV sub-brand Zeekr continues to grow its range of EVs despite global supply chain constraints. On its Weibo page, the automaker has teased shadowy images of the next EV coming to its lineup – a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) called the ZEEKR 009, built with luxury in mind.

 

Zeekr is a relatively young luxury EV automotive brand birthed in March of 2021 by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd – better known as Geely. Geely’s added the Zeekr brand to its lineup as a high-end EV brand to compete with Tesla in China.

 

Last fall, the Geely first unveiled its Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, an open-source EV chassis base. All of the EVs across multiple brands inside and out of the Geely umbrella, including Lynk & Co and Zeekr will sit upon this chassis base.

 

The ZEEKR 001, the company’s flagship EV began deliveries in China in the fall of 2021 and those assembly lines have slowly ramped up, even while COVID-19 lockdowns and supply chain constraints rocking the EV industry overseas.

 

Despite these hurdles, Zeekr is still planning market entry in both North America and the EU, and will soon have a second EV to shill to its global markets. Here’s our first glimpse at the ZEEKR 009.
