Zeekr, Geely Holding Group’s premium EV brand, said on Tuesday it will roll out its advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) to Chinese customers at no cost, just weeks after Tesla introduced its supervised Full Self-Driving software in the country.
The system, called Zeekr G-Pilot, includes features such as the General Automated Evasion System (G-AES) and Full-Capacity Vehicle-to-Parking (V2P), which aim to enhance safety and automation.
Zeekr says the technology will be available at different levels to meet varying customer needs.
The upcoming Zeekr 9X, set to debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, will be the brand’s first model with L3-ready autonomous driving capabilities, powered by the high-end H9 intelligent driving system. Deliveries are scheduled for the second half of 2025.
Built on Zeekr’s ZEEA 3.0 electrical and electronic architecture, the 9X will feature a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor computing platform with 1,400 TOPS of processing power.
Zeekr’s 7X x Tesla’s Model Y
The Chinese brand announced its 7X model in August last year, becoming its first midsize electric SUV set to compete with Tesla’s refreshed Model Y.
The vehicle was launched in September, in China, with prices starting at $33,700. Zeekr is planning to introduce the 7X model in European markets during the second quarter of this year.
