On April 22, 2022, Zeekr announced an increase in the price of its Zeekr 001 model. The specific plan is as follows:
- The WE version cancels the deposit inflation benefits of ¥5,000 for ¥10,000 deposit, and the overall WE version price increases by ¥5,000;
- The YOU version’s price is increased by ¥18,000 and cancels the deposit inflation benefits of ¥5,000 for ¥7,500 deposit, and the overall YOU version price increases by ¥20,500;
In addition, the company announced that the adjustment of prices and benefits will take effect on May 1st, 2022, and users who pay the deposit through the official channels such as the Zeekr APP before May 1st, 2022 will not be affected by this price adjustment.
Since its launch, Zeekr 001 has delivered more than 14,000 units. Starting from 2022, due to the factors such as the sharp rise in upstream raw material prices and the tension in the global supply chain, many car companies have chosen to raise their prices. Zeekr naturally followed suit.
In early April, Zeekr had already announced that it would adjust the price of Zeekr 001 starting from May, leaving users a one-month buffer period.
