On March 30, Zeekr announced that the cumulative firm orders received for its All New Zeekr 001 exceeded 30,000 units in the first month of its launch. Then on March 31, Guan Haitao, Chief Marketing Officer of Zeekr, shared that the firm order number hit a new single-day high, exceeding 2,500 units. As a facelift model, the new car has been upgraded in terms of appearance and configuration.
The interior of the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P sedan, which should start pre-sales at the Beijing Auto Show next month and commence deliveries in May, will break new ground in tech. Yesterday Lynk & Co announced details of the Lynk & Co Co Pad – try saying that quickly! It seems that the new car should coco with the rear seat occupants being able control windows, air conditioning, ambient lighting from pads mounted on the rear of the front seats. One has to wonder if Lynk & Co has heard of voice control!
We now have a far clearer idea of what the first all-electric car from Lynk & Co will look like thanks to new spy shots of the car undertaking winter testing. Believed to be called the Lynk & Co Zero the car has the internal name E371 and will unveil in Gothenburg, Sweden next month before officially launching around the middle of the year. Based on the same platform as the Zeekr 001 it is the first all-electric car from Lynk & Co and only the brand’s third sedan. Lynk & Co will also release a second all-electric car possibly later this year which will be an SUV based on the same platform as the Zeekr X.
The Zhidou Rainbow does come in a choice of seven colors but disappointingly, especially after the teaser poster, these colors do not appear to be the seven colors of the rainbow. Instead the car is going the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV Macaron route of offering pastel shades including pink, mauve, mint and sand (our names rather than the official ones). Also thanks to newly released pictures we now know what the interior looks like.
Today the all-wheel drive version of the Radar RD6 pickup truck opened for blind reservations, meaning the price and other key details have still yet to be teased. We do however now know a lot more about the pickup truck from Geely including that the 4WD version is known as the Radar Horizon and that the acceleration time is 4.5 seconds making it the fastest production pickup truck bar the Tesla Cybertruck.
No, you’re not reading an article from four years ago. Lynk & Co will unveil an all new electric car believe to be called the Zero at the European Design Center in April. The car goes by the internal code name of E371 and should officially launch around the middle of the year priced between 200,000 and 300,000 yuan (27,800 to 41,700 USD).
The Zeekr MIX has been revealed by a government regulator in China and is really quite a different looking car. Chinese media don’t seem to know what to make of it with some referring to it as an SUV and others as an MPV, we’re going to call it an MPV. It will be the fifth production model from the Geely backed all-electric Zeekr brand. What we are wondering is whether MIX is the English word ‘mix’ or is it actually 1009 as in the Roman numerals?
Just a day after we brought you MIIT information about the Zeekr MIX more information is emerging. We’re still not quite sure how to say that name but the mystery of the doors seems to be solved.
