Zeekr X: Compact Premium SUV on SEA Platform
The Zeekr X is Zeekr's compact B-SUV entry to the Malaysian market, built on the SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform that is also used by the smart #1 and Volvo EX30. SEA is Geely Auto Group's flagship EV platform, supporting 400V and 800V configurations, dual-motor AWD, and modular battery packaging from 50 kWh to 100+ kWh.
The Premium RWD variant produces 268 hp (200 kW) from a single rear-mounted motor, with 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and 440 km WLTP range from the 66 kWh NMC battery. The Flagship AWD variant adds a 156 hp (115 kW) front motor for combined 422 hp (315 kW), reducing 0-100 km/h to 3.8 seconds and offering 420 km WLTP range (slightly less due to dual-motor power draw). This acceleration figure places the Zeekr X Flagship AWD among the fastest compact SUVs available in Malaysia, exceeding the BMW iX1 (RM 286,800, 0-100 in 5.6 sec) and the Tesla Model Y Performance (RM 287,000, 0-100 in 3.7 sec) on a sub-RM 175,000 budget.
Cabin features include a 15.05-inch central touchscreen, 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, 13-speaker premium audio system, panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting with 256 customisable colours, 360-degree camera with 3D view, and quilted leather upholstery in selectable colour combinations. The compact 4,432 mm length and tight 2,750 mm wheelbase make the Zeekr X manoeuvrable for urban driving while providing genuine 5-seat space for adult passengers.
Zeekr 009: Luxury MPV Premium Flagship
The Zeekr 009 is Zeekr's flagship MPV and one of the most luxurious EVs available in Malaysia. Priced at RM 349,800 (Luxury 7-seater) to RM 359,800 (Ultra Luxury 6-seater), it competes against the Toyota Vellfire (RM 438,000) and Lexus LM 500h (RM 1.2 million+) on space and luxury, but at significantly lower pricing through Zeekr's direct-from-China product strategy with reduced import duty under EEV incentives.
The 009 uses a 116 kWh NMC battery delivering 582 km WLTP range, with 800V electrical architecture supporting ultra-fast DC charging at over 350 kW peak (limited by Malaysian charging infrastructure to typically 250-300 kW in real-world conditions). Dual-motor AWD configuration produces 536 hp combined, accelerating the 2,750 kg luxury MPV from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, faster than many sports sedans despite the MPV form factor.
The 6-seater Ultra Luxury variant features two executive captain's chairs in the second row with massage (multiple programmes), ventilation, heating, full leg-rest extension to flatten the seat for sleeping, electronic adjustment for back angle and leg position, and 17-inch OLED rear entertainment displays. Additional luxury features include 30-speaker Yamaha Concert Hall audio system, panoramic glass roof with electrochromic dimming, air suspension with adaptive damping at 4 ride heights, and electrically-operated sliding side doors.
Upcoming Zeekr 7X Mid-Size SUV (August 2025)
The Zeekr 7X is the brand's next Malaysian launch, expected in August 2025. The 7X is a mid-size C-segment SUV positioned between the compact Zeekr X and the upcoming larger Zeekr models (008 and 9X globally). It uses an enhanced version of the SEA platform with 800V architecture supporting 350 kW+ ultra-fast DC charging that can replenish 10-80 percent of battery capacity in approximately 15 minutes.
Specifications are not officially confirmed by Sentinel Automotive yet, but industry expectations include a 94-100 kWh battery, WLTP range exceeding 600 km, dual-motor AWD with combined output of 480-600 hp depending on variant, and a focus on premium cabin tech including augmented reality head-up display, dual-screen rear entertainment, and Level 2+ ADAS with highway autopilot capability. Expected pricing in the RM 220,000-280,000 range would position the Zeekr 7X against the BMW iX3 (RM 359,500), Mercedes-Benz EQB (RM 285,000-330,000), Tesla Model Y Long Range (RM 247,000), and Hyundai IONIQ 5 (RM 199,888-237,888).
Sentinel Automotive Distribution Strategy
Sentinel Automotive Sdn Bhd is the official Malaysian distributor for Zeekr, appointed through agreement with Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding Limited (Geely Auto Group's premium EV subsidiary). The distribution strategy targets premium EV buyers concentrated in Klang Valley, Penang, and East Malaysia, with showroom expansion focused on high-value real estate locations in tier-1 cities.
Initial launch showrooms (late 2024) opened in Petaling Jaya and Sunway City, both strategic locations within Klang Valley. Additional showrooms planned through 2025-2026 include:
- Kuala Lumpur city centre (KLCC vicinity, premium retail district)
- Pahang (Kuantan) for east coast coverage
- Malacca for south Peninsular Malaysia coverage
- Sarawak (Kuching) for East Malaysia entry
Sentinel Automotive provides Zeekr-certified technicians trained at Geely Auto Group's Hangzhou facility, with full new vehicle sales, service and maintenance, and Zeekr Drive driving experience programmes. EV-specific diagnostic equipment and high-voltage safety infrastructure have been installed at both launch showrooms, with similar capability planned for upcoming locations.

The Zeekr X Flagship AWD offers nearly Tesla Model Y Performance acceleration at RM 114,200 lower OTR, with longer vehicle warranty (5-year vs Tesla's 4-year) and broader Sentinel Automotive aftersales backing. Tesla wins on Supercharger network access (Malaysian rollout pending), over-the-air software updates, and brand recognition. BMW iX1 and Mercedes-Benz EQB offer the German premium brand cachet but at substantially higher pricing with slower acceleration. For buyers prioritising performance-per-RM in the premium EV segment, Zeekr X Flagship AWD makes a compelling value case.
