The dealer revealed some specifications of the Zeekr 009 introduced model: the maximum range can reach 800 kilometers, dual motors can provide a maximum power of 400kW, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 kilometers is only 4.5 seconds. “This is the fastest accelerating MPV in the world.”
At present, Zeekr is the “latest” among a series of Chinese electric vehicle brands entering the Singapore market. The report also listed other Chinese brands entering the local market, such as Omenda, Sailis, Aian and Nezha.
According to previous reports, before Singapore, Zeekr Motors has announced its entry into China’s Hong Kong and Macau regions, and Singapore will become the first sales place for Zeekr’s right-hand-drive models together with the above-mentioned regions. According to the plan, Zeekr’s entire series of right-hand drive products will be the first to land in Macau this year. The right-hand drive models of Zeekr 009 and Zeekr X will be launched simultaneously in Hong Kong and Macau in 2024.
