Zeekr is one of the most unknown electric car brands in Europe. And this is because he lives in the "shadow" of one of the most important groups in China: Geely. The reason for this "ignorance" is very easy to understand: now she is very focused on her home country. Also its position in the market is similar to that of Volvo. He wants to fight one on one against the Bavarian premium houses and all those who dare to enter his territory.
Well then, to prevent these potential rivals from stepping on your ground, They are already finalizing their next novelty. If you do nothing, we will tell you that the 001 premiered subtle changes for 2023, now they return with an unpublished model. Y It has nothing to do with the mammoth family minivan 009 which debuted a few months ago. The reason for his return has more to do with the segment of SUV's and, to be more exact, with the most compact.
Everything indicates that this new Zeekr model will debut in April and is a twin of the new and expected Volvo EX30…

as you well know Zeekr and Volvo share parent: Geely. The Chinese group knows that its money is necessary for both brands to remain alive and for this reason it puts its rules on the table. They will share technology and certain development and production processes but, at the same time, they will maintain their independence. This is the only way for customers to "get" them without believing that they are simple and mere highlights. And here is the key to the new model of the Chinese house.
To announce their third model, they publish a series of teasers on their official Twitter accounts.. In some he is loaded with camouflage and in the last one you can only see his silhouette. And although a priori it is little, with this data it is enough for us to understand that we are facing a model positioned in segment B or C-SUV and that will have an aggressive design. Going further is risky, due to the use of camouflage, but it seems that it will have common features with 001.
With everything, the roofline and waistline remind us of the one worn by the Chevrolet Bolt or the Fisker Pear. This appreciation is also felt in the daylight that the optics that lag behind shine. Even so, it is too early to throw the bells into flight to establish "reasonable" similarities. Even more so, when there are already rumors in the following direction: could be a clone of the future Volvo EX30 which is scheduled to see the light in this year 2023.
Regarding your date of presentation, in the Twitter post they leave this message…
«The third purely electric model of ZEEKR is coming: a premium urban SUV with excellent drivability. Stay tuned for more…”
In fact, Some already say that it will debut in April, although there is still nothing official... Time to time...
