Built on the EV-focused SEA architecture, the ZEEKR 001 and ZEEKR X will offer customers in Europe an unrivaled balance of design, technology, driving dynamics, performance and safety, together with long range and fast charging. The first models for Europe are the flagship ZEEKR 001 luxury shooting brake, which will deliver a range of around 600 km (subject to WLTP homologation), and the ZEEKR X urban SUV. They will debut in Sweden and the Netherlands in late 2023 with other countries and models coming soon after.
The ZEEKR 001 and ZEEKR X were developed with these requirements in mind from the very beginning at ZEEKR's Global Design and R&D centers in Gothenburg, Sweden. ZEEKR's European team, composed of more than 1,500 engineers and designers, are already in place and have produced several successful models for the Geely Group. Their long-standing experience is a core advantage for ZEEKR's successful entry into Europe. ZEEKR's European Headquarters will be located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and will be home to a leadership team who have held senior roles at other premium and luxury vehicle manufacturers.
