giant Tesla and its other competitors in China before launching in Europe.
Zeekr was founded in 2021 and is a manufacturer of luxury electric vehicles and specialized in the very
active Chinese market in this field.

has proliferated significantly and later added the Zeekr 009 luxury multipurpose model to its lineup earlier this year.
Zeekr’s electric car sales almost doubled last year due to strong demand for its electric sedan. Meanwhile, the Chinese manufacturer announced that it will add two new models in addition to its expansion in Europe.
It was initially expected that the company’s third model would bear the name Zeekr 003.However, make
sure through the new images posted on social media that they will be released as Zeekr X.

features usually found in luxury cars.
The company’s executive director Annie Ann told Reuters that features such as facial recognition and an
optional refrigerator would be provided inside the vehicle.

battery, providing up to 422 horsepower and 543 Nm of torque

year and features a range of up to 545 kilometers.
