The Zeekr Mix electric minivan with hidden B-pillars and 3 sliding doors started deliveries in China. It starts at 279,900 yuan (39,250 USD) and offers a record-breaking interior space utilization rate.
The Zeekr Mix launched in China on October 23. It has become the sixth car in the Geely-backed brand’s lineup. After the launch, some netizens complained that the Mix is overpriced, as it starts at almost 40,000 USD. However, Zeekr reported that 70% of customers have bought the top-trim Zeekr Mix, which costs 299,900 yuan or 42,100 USD. On October 24, the first clients received their cars.
Zeekr Mix started deliveries in China
The Zeekr Mix (see specs) started deliveries a day after the market launch. The brand’s officials shared that the first cars were handed over to customers in Beijing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu. They also described the first day after the launch as “hot.”
Zeekr is quite proud of the Mix’s delivery speed in China. They have mentioned that they have reached the industry’s leading delivery speed. It is worth mentioning that the Mix’s volume production began on October 21. So, it took Zeekr 3 days to hand over manufactured cars to owners.
However, we have to underline that the Zeekr Mix was a long-awaited model as it first applied for a sales license in China in March 2024. And the actual car made it to the market only seven months later. It is unknown why it took the Geely-backed brand so long to start the actual sales.
As mentioned, Zeekr shared that 70% of customers have ordered the top-trim Mix with a 102 kWh ternary NMC battery for a 702 km range. The rest have picked the entry-level model with a 76 kWh LFP pack for 550 km. 40% of customers have also ordered the Zeekr Stargate interactive LED element in the front end. It costs 8,000 yuan (1,100 USD) extra.
The exact volume of the first batch of Zeekr Mix cars is unknown. In the first 9 months of 2024, Zeekr delivered 142,873 cars, completing 62.1% of its sales target, which is 15.1% higher than the average sales goal achievement rate among Chinese NEV makers in China. The Zeekr Mix launch can further boost the brand’s sales volume in the final quarter of the year.
