From the side, the MPV's sleek, flowing lines run from the front to the rear, complemented by a two-tone body design that adds a touch of elegance and warmth. Hidden rain gutters and rear wipers further emphasize its clean, modern aesthetic. The vehicle also features semi-concealed door handles and two-tone, closed-off wheels to reduce drag, making it more aerodynamically efficient.

Measuring 4,688mm in length, 1,995mm in width, and 1,755mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,008mm, the ZEEKR MIX is classified as a mid-size MPV. It seats five across two rows, with a trunk capacity ranging from 568 liters to 2,000 liters. This is a distinctive setup compared to other popular MPVs like the XPENG X9 and DENZA D9, which are larger and offer three rows of seating, positioning the MIX in a unique market niche.

One standout feature is the hidden dual B-pillar design, where the pillars are incorporated into the doors. The front and rear doors open in opposite directions, creating a wide entry space of up to 1.33 meters on the right side. The left side offers a 1.53-meter opening for improved access and visibility. The front doors use a conventional hinge system for ease of entry and exit.
