Zeekr to revamp 4 vehicle models, including their Twitter-associated X, 007, 001, and 7 variants, in the current year
In the ever-evolving world of electric vehicles (EVs), Zeekr and Lynk & Co have made significant strides, as both brands reported strong sales figures for July.
Zeekr, the premium EV brand under Geely Holding, delivered 16,977 vehicles last month, marking an 8.44 percent increase year-on-year and a 1.65 percent growth month-on-month [1]. This growth is a testament to the brand's growing popularity and commitment to innovation.
One of the key highlights of Zeekr's upcoming lineup is the Zeekr 8our X, a model set to launch as part of the brand's 2025 refresh. The 8our X aims to combine advanced driving technology with competitive pricing, positioning Zeekr vehicles at the forefront of technology and EV performance [2].
In addition to the 8our X, both the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr 7our X models will undergo updates. These updates include the integration of Nvidia's Thor-U assisted driving chip, known for its enhanced processing power for assisted and autonomous driving functions [3]. Furthermore, both models will adopt a 900-volt high-voltage platform, which allows for significantly faster charging times and improved battery performance [4].
Lynk & Co, another brand under Geely Holding, also saw a surge in sales, delivering 27,216 vehicles in July, a 27.94 percent increase year-on-year and a 3.44 percent growth month-on-month [5].
Zeekr Group, which includes both Zeekr and Lynk & Co, delivered a combined total of 44,193 vehicles in July, with a 2.75 percent increase from the previous month [6].
As part of their ongoing commitment to innovation, Zeekr Group has announced plans to update four of their best-selling models and launch two new models by the end of the year [7]. Specific details about these models have yet to be revealed.
Meanwhile, Zeekr's first hybrid model, the Zeekr our X (Twitter), and its first model built on the SEA-S architecture, will start pre-sales at the Chengdu auto show at the end of this month [8]. The Zeekr 9our X (Twitter), another upcoming model, is set to launch in the fourth quarter [9].
The Zeekr 007, an electric sedan launched in late December 2023, will be the first Zeekr model to feature the Golden Battery, a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry-based battery similar to BYD's Blade Battery [10]. The Zeekr our X compact EV will also be updated in September or the fourth quarter, featuring the Golden Battery and interior adjustments [11].
The Zeekr 7our X SUV will also be updated, with some variants featuring the Thor-U chip and a 900-volt high-voltage system [12]. The Zeekr 001 will also be updated, featuring Nvidia's Thor-U chip and a 900-volt high-voltage system [3].
However, Zeekr has no update plans for its other currently available models this year [13]. The Zeekr 007 update will include adjustments to interior and exterior details, but the advanced driving assistance system, battery, and electric drive systems will remain unchanged [14].
In other news, Zeekr and Geely have finalized a merger deal with a higher offer [15]. This merger is expected to further bolster Zeekr's position in the EV market and accelerate its growth trajectory.
With these exciting updates and strong sales numbers, Zeekr and Lynk & Co are poised to continue their growth and innovation in the EV sector.
