Zeekr targets one million global users by 2026 with new model launches in Singapore

Zeekr aims to reach one million users by 2026, launching new 009 Deluxe and 7X models in Singapore as part of global growth plans.

Zeekr Group has announced ambitious growth plans to reach one million global users by 2026, following a strong performance in early 2025. The company reported 710,000 units sold across its Zeekr and Lynk & Co brands in the first four months of the year, underscoring its rising momentum in the global automotive market.

The announcement was made by Frank Li, Chief Marketing Officer of Zeekr Group and Managing Director of Zeekr Australia, during a closed-door media briefing at the Zeekr showroom in Singapore on 17 April. Li outlined Zeekr’s plans to expand its global footprint, with a strong emphasis on Southeast Asia, including the launch of two new models in Singapore by the end of the third quarter.

New models to enter Singapore market by Q3

Singapore will soon welcome the arrival of the Zeekr 009 Deluxe and Zeekr 7X, both positioned to appeal to luxury and premium market segments. The Zeekr 009 Deluxe, a seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) powered by a single-motor system, is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2025. This will be followed by the debut of the Zeekr 7X in the third quarter. The Zeekr 7X, a premium five-seater SUV, was first revealed to the public during the Singapore Motorshow 2025.

Frank Li described these vehicles as “halo models” that will act as flagships for the brand, designed to draw attention to Zeekr’s capabilities in design, technology, and performance. He also revealed that Lynk & Co will introduce the 08 EM-P, a mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV, as part of the Group’s strategy to broaden its appeal and strengthen its reputation for innovation.

Global footprint continues to grow

Zeekr has rapidly expanded its international presence and now operates in more than 40 markets. In Southeast Asia, the brand is active in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Its reach also spans Central Asia, the Middle East, East Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. Sister brand Lynk & Co has similarly broadened its market coverage, with a presence in the Philippines, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, and Chile.

While Zeekr continues to position itself as a premium brand with a focus on luxury and innovation, Lynk & Co aims to attract younger drivers with its sporty and trend-driven offerings. Both brands play distinct yet complementary roles in the Group’s strategy to scale globally.

Future plans and expanded line-up

Looking ahead, Zeekr is preparing to introduce two more models as part of its next phase of growth. According to Li, one of these will be designed for larger families, while the other will cater to the executive and professional segment. He hinted that these upcoming vehicles would further demonstrate Zeekr’s commitment to innovation and market responsiveness.

The Group’s continued investment in both product development and regional market expansion reflects its strong intent to reach the one million user milestone by 2026. As new models roll out and brand awareness grows, Zeekr and Lynk & Co are set to play a more prominent role in shaping the future of the premium and mainstream automotive markets across the globe.
