The Zeekr 009 electric minivan was first shown online in August 2022.[4] Deliveries of the 009 began in the first quarter of 2023 in China.[5] It is based on the Geely Sustainable Experience Architecture 1 platform (SEA) for electric vehicles, which is also used by the Zeekr 001 as well as the Lotus Eletre and Polestar 5.[6]
Geely is using a Giga Press-like large aluminum die casts to produce a large rear underbody section of the vehicle, measuring 1.4 m (4.6 ft) long and 1.6 m (5.2 ft) wide, reducing the number of welding points by almost 800.[7][8]
