Zeekr Launches Mix EV, Sharing Platform with Waymo's Robotaxi
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Zeekr has officially launched the Zeekr Mix, a futuristic five-seater designed with a spacious, living room-style interior. This model is significant as it is the first production vehicle built on Geely’s new SEA-M platform, which is also utilized by Waymo’s latest robotaxi prototypes. The launch highlights a strategic alliance between Zeekr and Alphabet’s self-driving unit, with volume deliveries of a sister model to Waymo scheduled for next year. The Zeekr Mix features innovative design elements, including 270-degree rotating front seats, double sliding doors, and hidden ultra-strong steel B-pillars to ensure safety despite its unconventional structure. Priced between RMB 279,900 and RMB 299,900, the vehicle targets middle-income Chinese households seeking versatile mobility solutions. It offers driving ranges of up to 702 kilometers and utilizes batteries from CATL and Zeekr’s own supply. This release underscores Zeekr’s rapid growth, with year-to-date deliveries rising 81%, and marks a step toward high-volume autonomous vehicle branding through its partnership with Waymo.
