The Smart #1 is a battery-electric subcompact crossover SUV that marks the complete reinvention of the Smart brand. Developed as the first product of a 50:50 joint venture between Mercedes-Benz Group and Geely Holding, it swaps the iconic two-seater city car formula for a five-door family crossover built on Geely's SEA2 electric platform. With Mercedes designing the exterior and interior, and Geely handling engineering and production in China, the #1 delivers up to 440 km of WLTP range, a 12.8-inch touchscreen with AI voice assistant, and a 0-62 mph time as low as 3.9 seconds in the Brabus variant.
The Zeekr 001 is a premium battery electric shooting brake made by Zeekr, a Geely Holding Group sub-brand. Launched in 2021, it is widely described as the world's first mass-produced EV shooting brake - a swooping 5-door fastback combining Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo aesthetics with aggressive EV performance and tech at a fraction of the price. With triple five-star safety ratings, up to 1,265 hp in its FR quad-motor variant, and charging speeds that hit 546 kW peak on its 2026 900V platform, the 001 has become the benchmark for Chinese premium EVs seeking global legitimacy.
The Zeekr X is a compact electric crossover SUV from Zeekr - Geely's premium EV brand - designed by a European team led by ex-Volkswagen chief Stefan Sielaff, built on Geely's advanced SEA platform, and packing up to 489 hp with a sliding 14.6-inch touchscreen in a city-friendly footprint. It launched in China in 2023 and has since expanded to Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, and beyond - offering hypercar acceleration, 5-star safety ratings, and a built-in mini-fridge in a sub-$25,000 (China) package.
