Zeekr Mix electric MPV unveiled - Is Malaysia missing out?

At the ongoing Auto China 2024 in Beijing, Geely’s premium all-electric (BEV) brand, Zeekr, unveiled its latest and fifth model, the Zeekr Mix.

The Mix is the first model in the Geely Group to be built on the SEA-M architecture, a derivative of the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform. It supports a wide range of mobility products from passenger vehicles like robotaxis and MPVs to commercial vehicles used for logistics.

The Mix shown at the automotive exhibition features what Zeekr describes as ‘an intelligent “living room” on wheels” with a spacious interior, variable seat placement choices, hidden B-pillar, and advanced electrical/electronic (E/E) backbone.

Cabin space will be maximised on every model built on the SEA-M platform with flat floors, a high wheelbase-to-length ratio, and a capsule-styled exterior. The advanced E/E backbone allows infotainment screens to be set up for both driver and passengers.

The only details mentioned for the Zeekr Mix are its dimensions (Length: 4.7 m, Wheelbase: 3 m, Ground clearance: 39 cm). Two units of the Mix were shown at Zeekr’s booth with one revealing the dual sliding doors on the passenger side. Interestingly, the driver’s side of the Mix features a regular driver door with a sliding rear door.

Zeekr is currently expanding into the European market with the launch of the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X. It is also looking to expand into right-hand drive (RHD) markets with Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand among the countries.

Pilot RHD production is currently in progress with the Toyota Alphard-sized Zeekr 009 and Zeekr X compact crossover confirmed for those markets. The premium BEV maker is seeking to expand to 50 markets though Malaysia is being considered.
