With a minimalistic "Hidden Energy" design, the ZEEKR MIX showcases a rounded silhouette and an integrated "smart light curtain" on the front, powered by 75 high-power automotive-grade chips across a striking 90-inch display. The interior focuses on versatility, with front seats capable of a 270-degree rotation, allowing passengers to engage in face-to-face interaction. Additionally, the MIX debuts an innovative seating arrangement, featuring three ultra-long, 2-meter electric sliding rails, providing 800 mm of front-seat travel and 490 mm in the rear.
Powering the MPV is a rear-mounted single electric motor, delivering up to 422 horsepower.

A longer-range version with a 712 km range is also expected.
