For a model of Zeekr X's size, a four-seat version is a rarity in China.

The Zeekr X, which entered the MIIT's catalog, is available in three versions, including a dual-motor version and two single-motor variants.

Its dual-motor version has a front motor with a maximum power of 115 kW and a rear motor of 200 kW. Both single-motor versions have a maximum motor power of 200 kW. They have a top speed of 190 km/h and 185 km/h, respectively.

The battery supplier for the Zeekr X is a joint venture between CATL and Geely in Yibin, Sichuan province in southwestern China.

As a subsidiary of Geely, Zeekr was officially launched as a standalone company in March 2021. It currently sells the Zeekr 001 hatchback and the Zeekr 009 MPV, both of which are manufactured at the company's plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang province.

Zeekr's third model will not be built in Ningbo, but at a Geely plant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, a source familiar with the matter previously told CnEVPost.

The company teased the model earlier this month, with previous information suggesting the car could be named the Zeekr 003, but the official name Zeekr eventually announced was the Zeekr X.

Zeekr previously said the Zeekr X is an all-around SUV that will accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in less than four seconds and will be the ceiling of performance for an A-class SUV.

Earlier today, Geely announced that Zeekr has raised $750 million in Series A funding, bringing Zeekr's post-investment valuation to $13 billion.

Zeekr filed a draft registration statement for a possible IPO with the SEC on December 7 on a confidential basis.
