PHOTO: ZeekrZeekr staked its claim as the first Chinese premium car brand to arrive in Singapore, with the brand debuting here at a glitzy launch event held at the ArtScience Museum on Aug 1.Zeekr, which is owned by one of the largest automotive conglomerates in China, Geely, marked the occasion by unveiling the X, its compact electric SUV that will be its first product offering here.
More significantly, the Zeekr X is also more affordable than the Smart #1 Pro+ and the Volvo EX30 , both of which share the same Sustainable Experience Architecture 2 platform with the X as all three were developed under the auspices of Geely.Zeekr touts itself as a forward-thinking brand that appeals to those who value smart technology, while also wanting something which is offbeat and non-mainstream.
A large 14.6-inch infotainment screen sits in the middle of the dashboard, and the operating system behind it runs on a powerful Qualcomm 8155 chip, giving it super-fast responses, and allowing it to deliver 5G connectivity and over-the-air software updates. The X Flagship AWD meanwhile has two electric motors, one at each axle. Combined they produce a total of 315kW/422hp and 543Nm of torque, sent to all four wheels. As a result, the car can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
