The brand’s officials officially confirmed that this model is on its roadmap. It will become available for pre-orders on July 8. More details about this version have yet to be released. However, Zeekr stated on social media that the new model will “inherit the flagship genes of the 9-Series, redefining the five-seater luxury experience.” It is worth noting that the segment of five-seat full-size crossovers is becoming crowded in China. Previously, Aito, Lynk & Co, Li Auto, and other automakers introduced their models to fight for the market share.
