This is the latest model from Chinese carmaker Zeekr. It’s called the Mix, an all-electric minivan or MPV going directly against the VW ID.Buzz. Preliminary photos of the Zeekr Mix have been shared online thanks to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, with the official premiere to take place at next month’s Beijing Auto Show. Compared to some other Zeekr models, the Mix has a relatively subtle and simple exterior design free of any superfluous angles, lines, or weird proportions.
Perhaps the most striking element of the
MPV is the blacked-out headlights and black trim that flows over the front
quarter panels. The Mix has also been shown with a black front grille and the
two-tone white and black paint scheme of this example makes it stand out even
more. The rear is also pretty clean, with a simple horizontal light bar being
the biggest highlight.
The Mix is 4,688 mm long,
1,995 wide, and stands 1,755 mm tall with a 3,008 mm wheelbase. Like other Zeekr models, it is based on Geely’s
Sustainable Experience Architecture platform and will be equipped with a
battery developed by CATL and Geely. Details about this pack are limited but it
is expected to be an 86 kWh unit with an 800-volt technology and capable of
charging at up to 360 kW.
Details about the vehicle’s range are not
yet known. Zeekr says the electric motor will pump out an impressive 416 hp, notably more than the current ID. Buzz, which, depending on the
market, offers between 270 hp and 335 hp for the rear-wheel and
all-wheel drive (GTX) versions, respectively.
