ZEEKR 001 and X BEVs go on sale in Mexico
According to a recent Weibo post from ZEEKR, the 001 and X models are now officially on sale to customers in Mexico. The shooting brake starts at an MSRP of 988,000 Mexican pesos ($54,850), while the X SUV starts at 799,000 Mexican pesos ($44,350).
The launch marks ZEEKR’s first entry into North America as the Chinese automaker takes advantage of the footprint already established by its parent, Geely Holding. As part of the purchase agreement signed in February, Geely has committed to the purchase and resale of ZEEKR EVs and their respective accessories, capping its buys at RMB 674 million (USD 92.7 million) in 2024, RMB 1.56 billion (USD 214.5 billion) in 2025, and RMB 3.13 billion (USD 430.2 billion) in 2026.
ZEEKR celebrated the launch with an event in Mexico, where prospective customers could experience the 001 and X BEVs inside and out. This will be an important market to watch as its the closest these Chinese-built models have ever gotten to US soil.
However, the US still imposes 100% tariffs on Chinese BEV imports, so we don’t expect to see ZEEKR vehicles crossing the border into that market anytime soon. Mexican customers can learn more here.
