Zeekr
ZEEKR is Geely Holding Group's premium electric vehicle brand — one of the fastest-growing luxury EV brands in the world, founded in 2021 and already selling in 20+ countries. With 800V ultra-fast charging, Mobileye autonomous driving, and designs that demand attention, ZEEKR targets the discerning EV buyer who refuses to compromise on technology, range, or visual drama.
Origins & Heritage
ZEEKR was established in March 2021 as a standalone premium EV brand within Geely Holding Group — China's most ambitious private automotive conglomerate, which also owns Volvo Cars, Polestar, Lotus, and Lynk & Co. From day one, ZEEKR was positioned not as a Chinese EV challenger but as a genuine global premium brand with the technology, design, and performance to compete with Porsche, BMW i, and Mercedes EQ.
The brand launched with the ZEEKR 001 — a striking shooting brake (wagon) that deliberately avoided the obvious choice of yet another SUV, instead targeting buyers who valued distinctive design and genuine performance. The 001's Geely SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform, shared with Volvo and Polestar, provides a world-class engineering foundation with 800V capability that enables 10–80% charging in under 20 minutes.
ZEEKR's international expansion has been remarkably rapid for a brand under five years old. The brand listed on the New York Stock Exchange in May 2024 at a valuation of $5 billion, cementing its status as a major player in the global premium EV market. With models spanning shooting brake, crossover, MPV, sedan, and full-size SUV segments, ZEEKR has assembled one of the most complete premium EV ranges outside of Tesla and the established European luxury manufacturers.

Model Lineup
Technology Leadership
ZEEKR's technology advantage centres on two pillars: the Geely SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform with 800V electrical architecture, and Mobileye SuperVision autonomous driving hardware on premium models — a combination that places ZEEKR at the very forefront of production EV technology.
- Geely SEA 800V platform — ultra-fast 10–80% charging in under 20 minutes on compatible chargers; reduces charging anxiety for long-distance travel
- Mobileye SuperVision autonomous driving — 12 cameras, camera-only ADAS system capable of Level 2+ automated driving on highways and in urban environments
- CATL Qilin battery (ZEEKR 007) — cell-to-body CTP 3.0 technology with world-class energy density enabling 750+ km CLTC range
- ZEEKR OS infotainment — 15.4-inch to 30-inch displays (model dependent), wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and OTA updates throughout ownership
- Geely-Volvo co-engineering — SEA platform developed jointly, giving ZEEKR access to Volvo safety testing standards and structural engineering expertise
ZEEKR in Azerbaijan
ZEEKR represents the most exciting new entrant in Azerbaijan's premium EV market — a brand younger than five years that has already matched established European luxury manufacturers on technology benchmarks. For Azerbaijani buyers who want the absolute latest in EV technology — 800V charging, Mobileye autonomy, CATL cell-to-body batteries — ZEEKR delivers without the traditional European price premium.
As Geely Group's international distribution network expands through Central Asia and the South Caucasus, ZEEKR's presence in Azerbaijan is expected to grow. The brand's NYSE listing and global ambitions signal a commitment to the international market that underpins long-term parts and service support confidence.
