Geely’s Zeekr unveils H2 2025 product refresh plan: Thor-U chip and new battery for key models
Zeekr, the premium electric vehicle brand under Geely, today announced its comprehensive product refresh plan for the second half of 2025.
The Zeekr X is slated for an update between September and the fourth quarter of this year. This refresh will introduce a new variant featuring the battery from Geely’s Energee Battery and subtle adjustments to the interior design.
In the fourth quarter, the Zeekr 007, Zeekr 001, and Zeekr 7X are all scheduled for updates. The Zeekr 007 will receive minor interior and exterior detail adjustments, while its assisted driving solution and battery-electric drive system will remain unchanged. The Zeekr 001 is set to receive the Thor-U chip and a 900V high-voltage system, alongside minor interior and exterior tweaks. Similarly, select variants of the Zeekr 7X will also be equipped with the Thor-U chip and 900V high-voltage system, with minor interior and exterior refinements.
Zeekr emphasised that the final configuration details for these updated products will be confirmed at their respective launch events. Other existing models currently on sale do not have any planned updates for this year.
In a move to balance the interests of both new and existing customers during this product transition, Zeekr is offering several limited-time incentives for current models of the Zeekr X, 007, 001, and 7X. These include a 5-year, 0% interest financing policy and optional upgrade packages. Zeekr has also stated that these purchasing incentives will be adjusted once the updated models are officially launched.
Industry observers quoted by the Chinese media Youth.cn views Zeekr’s proactive announcement as a step towards greater transparency in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving new energy vehicle (NEV) market. This move allows consumers to make informed decisions, granting them both the right to know and the right to choose.
This marks Zeekr’s first public product update plan in a year, fulfilling its previous commitment not to update models within the last year.
