Zeekr MIX: This Is Not A Concept Car

[@Wheelsboy]

Pricing for the Mix has been announced! Pricing will begin at 279,000 RMB (39,000 USD) for models with the 76.5 kWh LFP battery and 299,000 RMB (42,000 USD) for the larger 102-kWh NCM pack. Honestly, more than I expected, but do you think it’s still a good deal at those prices?

[@kckfen]

@Wheelsboy I think, is still a very good deal, looking at how much tech and design has been put into this car. I'm not sure if they will make this a global car and an RHD version. If there is an RHD version, I'm definitely interested in getting one. Very unique, no other car in the market has these features.

[@EV-olution]

Compared to anything we have in Canada, that pricing is amazing for what is being delivered.

@@EV-olutionmy impression is that EVs are more suitable at southern regions, the battery is running out much quicker in cold weather, so is EV still favorable in Canada? Just asking because I never been there before.

[@theolich4384]

Not a bad price, but the basic trim costs more than a fully loaded Zeekr 7X sitting right next to it in the showroom (or the Li Auto L6 next door). Too special a car I'm afraid to say for the majority of Chinese consumers.

They shouldn’t because… Senator Joe Manchin is not an official lobbyist, but as a U.S. Senator from West Virginia, he has close ties to the coal and energy industries, which are crucial to his state. His political actions often align with the interests of these sectors, leading to accusations that he indirectly advocates for their benefit. Manchin has been known to oppose climate legislation that could harm the coal industry, reflecting his commitment to local economic interests. As chair of the Senate Energy Committee, his influence over energy policies is significant, further fueling these perceptions. While he’s not a registered lobbyist, his actions as an elected official often intersect with industry priorities. For example, in 2023, Manchin proposed a 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, citing concerns over the growing dominance of Chinese companies in the EV market. This proposal fits into a broader U.S. strategy to reduce reliance on Chinese technology and promote domestic manufacturing, particularly in the high-tech and energy sectors.

Hard plastics make a load of sense considering it´s a FAMILY MPV. They are supposed to be rough, easy to clean and long lasting considering kids are one of the worst kind of passenger you can have when it comes to preserving a car interior

[@ashyouknow7420]

@@t8polestarcyan22 Mahindra is making great cars now like XUV700 which is also selling great in Australia but their EVs are still lacking in design and battery tech and there are very less models in their current line-up, all of them are small cars. Mahindra will launch their big EVs next year which are on another level especially in design! TATA Nexon meanwhile has been the most selling EV in India but I feel it lacks innovation.

I think it would be more practical to replace the electric door and electric swivel seats with manual ones and reduce the selling price to around 200,000 RMB. Geely has spent a lot of money developing this SEA-M platform. They should use this platform on other sub-brands. I want to see an affordable Geely Mix in the future.

Definitely a good MPV which has more utility than those with fixed seats. The large interior space allows for more movement or leg room if repurposing an EV as a room for anything like office/entertainment or even sleep? Speaking of sleep, I think the only negative for me is the automation of the seats and its added cost. I prefer manually moving the front seats including user removeable passenger seat completely.

With these type of radical design on the mix, it feels like the Chinese market has not of force driving the evolution of the design. But in North America, some how somewhat, not so much despite being big. I wonder, with all these paper published why they dont translate into things we can touch and feel.
