Zeekr, Geely Holding Group’s premium electric vehicle (EV) brand, has now officially landed in Australia, bringing a new wave of excitement to the EV market. Known for their high-end design, impressive tech, and competitive pricing, Zeekr's vehicles are set to shake up the Australian EV scene.
As the first of several Chinese electric vehicles set to arrive over the next 18 months, Zeekr offers an exciting glimpse into the future of affordable, luxury EVs. With competition heating up, expect to see prices driven lower, making it an even better time to jump on the EV bandwagon.
By the end of 2024, Zeekr will introduce three models to the Australian market, with two standouts already catching attention: the compact city SUV, Zeekr X, and the luxury people-mover, Zeekr 009.
Zeekr X: Compact Luxury for City Life
Starting at a competitive $56,990 (before on-road costs), the Zeekr X is a sharp new challenger in the EV market. Originally teased at a $60,000 price point, the final figure undercuts expectations, making it a highly attractive option for early adopters.
For those eager to get in early, pre-orders for the Zeekr X are now open, and customers who place an order before 31 October will enjoy 12 months of unlimited public charging on the Evie Network. With over 260 charging locations across Australia, this offer alone makes the Zeekr X a strong contender for city dwellers looking to embrace the electric future.
The Zeekr X comes in two variants:
- RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive): Features a single 200kW motor and a driving range of up to 540km.
- AWD (All-Wheel Drive): Boosts power to 315kW with a range of 470km, accelerating from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
Both variants support fast charging, allowing you to top up the battery from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes using 150kW DC charging.
Zeekr 009: Redefining Luxury People Movers
The Zeekr 009 offers a glimpse into the future of premium, family-friendly EVs. This luxury people-mover comes in either 7-seat or 6-seat configurations, both powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing a whopping 450kW of power. The 009 also features one of the largest battery packs available in Australia, a 116kWh unit, offering outstanding range and performance.
Inside, the Zeekr 009 is all about comfort and high-tech luxury:
- Nappa leather upholstery
- First-class aviation-style seats with built-in headrest speakers
- A Yamaha surround sound system delivering 3000 watts of crystal-clear audio
- Advanced air suspension for the smoothest ride possible
This EV isn’t just about power—it’s designed to turn every journey into a luxurious experience.
