SUV in Malaysia, indicating that the Geely-owned EV brand was on its way in to Malaysia. Now, that has been confirmed, with the Chinese company announcing that it has signed a cooperation agreement with Sentinel Automotive, which will be its local partner in Malaysia.
The X, which is underpinned by Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture platform, is sold in China in single-motor RWD or dual-motor AWD forms. The single-motor version has 272 PS and 343 Nm in the way of output, and this allows the SUV to accomplish the 0-100 km/h sprint in 5.8 seconds. As for the AWD, it has 428 PS and 543 Nm, which brings the century sprint time down to 3.8 seconds.
If those figures sound familiar, they are, identical to that of the smart #1 Premium and Brabus. The similarities continue with the batteries, with a 66 kWh nickel manganese cobalt unit offering 560 km of travel for the RWD and 512 km for the AWD, on a CLTC cycle . As for charging, 150 kW of DC charging gets the battery from 10 to 80% SoC in 30 minutes for the smart, so that for the Zeekr should be similar .
As for the 009, it’s luxury EV MPV that is longer, wider and sits lower than the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire, so it’s not puny. In its domestic market, the 009 runs with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, and with 544 PS and 686 Nm on tap, the big MPV can haul rapidly, doing the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds. Two NMC battery choices are available, 116 kWh and 140 kWh, and these offer a CLTC range of 702 and 822 km respectively.
The Alphard sells at a still frankly preposterous ¥850k in China, which used to be >¥1m so the 009 is competitive there. Kind of too close to Alphard in MY market.
