- In our Auto-Analyses, we presented a quick study of several Chinese carmakers with their range of cars currently marketed in China, such as BYD, MG, Polestar, Leapmotor, and Xpeng. Here is a continuation of the quick study of several other Chinese brands.
- Let's start with Zeekr (pronounced Zeeker), a subsidiary of the Geely Group, the second-largest Chinese carmaker after BYD. The Zeekr brand was created in 2021 as a brand specializing in luxury or premium electric vehicles. In the first 11 months of 2025, Geely produced 193,164 Zeekr vehicles in China, of which 4,000 were exported to 30 European countries (EU + UK + Switzerland + Norway) and 3,000 to Russia.
- The current range consists of seven different models: Zeekr 001 (E-segment SUV, BEV, 4.97 m long, 36,072 units over 11 months to 2025), Zeekr 007 (E-segment sedan, BEV, 4.86 m long, 43,424 units), Zeekr 009 (E-segment MPV, BEV, 5.21 m long, 20,564 units), Zeekr X (C-segment SUV, BEV, 4.45 m long, 7,976 units), Zeekr 7X (D-segment SUV, BEV, 4.82 m long, 69,664 units), Zeekr 9X (E-segment SUV, PHEV, 5.24 m long, 15,217 units), Zeekr MIX (C-segment MPV, BEV, 4.69 m long, 247 units).
- Zeekr brand has been steadily growing since 2021. Its production volume in China increased from 6,190 units in 2021 to 72,062 in 2022, 123,077 in 2023, and 225,292 in 2024. However, the 2025 volume appears to be slightly down based on figures from the first 11 months. It is estimated at approximately 210,000 units.
