The Zeekr X EV SUV is ready to make waves in Malaysia, can it do so?
Zeekr is officially entering the Malaysian market with the launch of its all-electric Zeekr X compact SUV. With prices starting at RM180,000, the Zeekr X aims to attract eco-conscious drivers looking for performance and technology in a compact package. The booking fee for this model is RM2,000, making it an accessible option for many.
Officially distributed by Sentinel Automotive Sdn Bhd, the Zeekr X is designed for global markets and is available in two variants: the Premium and the Flagship AWD. The Flagship AWD variant features dual motors that generate an impressive 422hp, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
Moreover, this remarkable performance positions the Zeekr X among the fastest electric SUVs in its segment. For those opting for the Premium variant, it comes equipped with a single rear motor producing 268hp allowing for a century sprint time of 5.6 seconds. Both variants are powered by a 66 kWh battery that enables rapid charging from 10 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes with 150 kW DC charging capabilities.
Safety is a priority for Zeekr, as reflected in the Zeekr X’s 5-star Euro NCAP rating. It boasts an extensive suite of safety features, including seven airbags, a 360° camera, and a digital video recorder. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) further enhance safety with features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Collision Mitigation Support.
On top of that, the Zeekr X not only promises performance but also prioritises safety and technology, making it a compelling choice for Malaysian drivers looking for a reliable electric vehicle. With the Zeekr X, the brand aims to establish itself firmly in the growing EV market, but the real question remains: will it resonate with Malaysian consumers?
So now that Zeekr has officially opened bookings for its first 2 models in the country, can it shake up the electric vehicle (EV) market or are Malaysians bored of Chinese EVs now?
