KUALA LUMPUR: Zeekr is finally launched in Malaysia and to mark its debut, the Geely-owned premium electric vehicle carmaker unveils two models.
The 009 luxury MPV and the X sports utility vehicle kickstart Zeekr's journey in the country together with its franchise holder Sentinel Automotive Sdn Bhd.
The Zeekr 009 is offered as a luxury seven-seater model priced at RM349,800 and a six-seater model priced at RM359,800.
The Zeekr X all-electric compact urban SUV is available in two distinct variants - the Premium model priced at RM155,800 and the Flagship AWD model priced at RM172,800.
Deliveries will start in mid-December.
Zeekr vice president Mars Chen is bullish about its sales prospect in Malaysia.
"While specific figures are under strategic review, we anticipate robust growth driven by the Malaysian government's push towards electric vehicles and sustainable mobility solutions.
"Our forecast aligns with these initiatives, and we expect to capture significant market share in the premium EV segment," Chen said at the launch here today.
Sentinel Automotive director Mohamed Reza Abdul Mutalib said interest and demand for both models have been overwhelming.
"This is namely due to the product's superiority in performance, technology, comfort, quality, and design which offer consumers the best value for their money.
"Models like the Zeekr 009 for example, introduce new and high standards for luxury MPVs superseding even those that are beyond its price segment, and this has garnered enormous levels of interest," he added.
The 009 and X are backed by a five-year or 150,000km vehicle warranty, and an eight-year or 160,000km battery warranty.
They also come with two years of complimentary connected services offering 6GB internet data to access the Zeekr app, onboard navigation, and over-the-air (OTA) software for its updates.
The first 500 Zeekr X and Zeekr 009 owners will be entitled to an exclusive launch package that includes a home charger, portable charger, solar film and sunshade cover (Zeekr X only).
The first of Zeekr Malaysian showrooms are located at Petaling Jaya and Sunway City for a better user experience.
Another four showrooms will open in Selangor, Penang, and Johor in the first half of 2025.
More Zeekr showrooms are also due to open in Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, Melaka, and Sarawak.
