Zeekr X

Zeekr launched the right-hand drive Zeekr X SUV in Hong Kong on July 17 and gave the all-new Zeekr 009 an appearance, with the MPV set to be launched there on July 19.

Zeekr currently has four flash stores open in Bangkok and is expected to reach 14 stores in Thailand by the end of 2024.

The Zeekr X had a record 4,714 single-month deliveries in November 2023, but the figures were below 1,000 units in each of the first five months of this year.

The right-hand drive version of the Zeekr X is expected to be available in markets including Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau starting in the third quarter.

Zeekr will partner with local car distributors, with deliveries of right-hand drive Zeekr vehicles in Thailand set to begin in the third quarter.

The 2024 Zeekr X eliminates the previous, lower-priced entry-level version and retains the other two versions, but at reduced prices.

The Zeekr 001 is offering up to about $11,000 in cumulative limited-time purchase benefits as the company seeks to reach its goal of doubling sales this year compared to last year.

The European version of the Zeekr X supports map navigation in 32 European countries and nine languages, and meets E-NCAP's five-star crash standards, Zeekr said.

Zeekr's first store in Germany will open in the first half of 2024, when vehicle deliveries will begin.

Zeekr will initially offer the Zeekr 001 shooting-brake and the Zeekr X urban SUV in Kazakhstan, where they will be available for pre-sale starting in September and delivered to customers in November.
