Shanghai (Gasgoo)- ZEEKR, the premium electric vehicle brand of Geely, announced on Feb. 3 via its WeChat account that its third model is named ZEEKR X, rather than the “ZEEKR 3” recently reported by local media outlets.

ZEEKR claims the yet-to-be-launched model as a “new luxury all-rounder SUV”.

Known under the internal codename BX1E, the ZEEKR X will ride on Geely's SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) electric vehicle platform, the same structure used by ZEEKR for its first two production models--the 001 sedan and 009 MPV.

The ZEEKR X will be an A-segment SUV that measures 4,450mm long, 1,836mm wide, and 1,572mm tall with a wheelbase that spans 2,750mm.
