Zeekr Mix: the new five-seat MPV from the Chinese manufacturer could reach Europe in 2025

Zeekr, the young brand of the Chinese automotive giant Geely, has just registered a new electric model with the Chinese authorities. It is the Zeekr Mix, a compact MPV with just five seats, which will sit within the manufacturer’s range below the bulky Zeekr 009.

The Chinese manufacturer has already confirmed the European launch of the other three models currently available in its line-up: the Zeekr X, Zeekr 001 and Zeekr 007. However, the 009 MPV will not be sold in Europe and its availability will be limited to the local market. Nevertheless, given its dimensions, it seems quite likely that this new Zeekr Mix will reach Europe. Although this has not yet been officially confirmed by the manufacturer.

The imminent sale of this compact MPV on the Chinese market has once again been revealed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of this Asian country. This institution has already accustomed us to leaks ahead of new model launches in China, some of which later reach the European market too. The closest example is the MINI Aceman, which we discussed just yesterday following a leak from the MIIT.

In China, manufacturers are required to register all their new vehicles in the MIIT catalogue just before they begin sales. This institution aims to give consumers in the country objective information about the appearance and technical specifications of the vehicles on sale, so they can compare and choose the model that best suits their needs. The leak of any new model by the MIIT is, therefore, confirmation that its sale on the Chinese market is imminent.

More interesting details about the new Zeekr Mix

The information now published by the MIIT reveals the existence of two different versions of the Zeekr Mix, although the exact differences between them are not yet known. According to the documents, this compact MPV measures 4.69 metres in length, 1.99 metres in width and 1.75 metres in height, with a wheelbase of 3.01 metres. It is therefore about half a metre shorter than the Zeekr 009, which has room for six passengers rather than five.

Finally, the electric motor of the Zeekr Mix produces 310 kW. We also know that it will be fitted with a lithium-ion battery pack with an NMC cathode supplied by a joint venture created between Geely and CATL.

Some sources suggest this compact MPV could be officially unveiled next April at the Beijing Auto Show. These same sources consider, moreover, that it is quite likely the Zeekr Mix will also reach Europe in 2025, although for now the latter is no more than speculation.
