Kuala Lumpur, 18 May 2026 – Zeekr Intelligent Technology Malaysia continues to build strong momentum in the local electric vehicle market, emerging as Malaysia’s No.1 premium EV brand based on its 2026 performance year-to-date.
According to the April 2026 Road Transport Department (JPJ) registration data, Zeekr recorded 357 EV registrations in April, bringing its year-to-date tally to 1,214 units. This makes Zeekr the No.1 Premium EV brand – ahead of other premium-positioned EV manufacturers in the market such as Tesla – as well as fourth best-selling EV brand overall in Malaysia.
Zeekr Leads Malaysia’s Premium EV Segment
Zeekr’s strong year-to-date performance reflects growing acceptance among Malaysian customers seeking premium electric mobility solutions.
In less than two years after first establishing its presence in Malaysia, Zeekr has recorded a cumulative sales volume (of all-time) of 3,849 units, comprising 2,509 units of the Zeekr 7X, 1,166 units of the Zeekr 009, and 174 units of the Zeekr X.
Zeekr’s position as the No.1 premium EV brand in Malaysia for 2026 is further reinforced by Zeekr 7X emerging as the No.1 premium electric SUV and the Zeekr 009 as the No.1 premium electric MPV in Malaysia.
The Zeekr 7X recorded strong monthly performance of 303 units sold in April. In comparison, Tesla Model Y only recorded 67 registered units in April. This strong showing also makes the Zeekr 7X Malaysia’s 4th best-selling EV model overall for 2026 YTD, with a total of 999 units delivered since January 2026, according to JPJ data. Its nearest competitor in the premium category, Tesla Model Y, registered just a third of that amount with 371 units in 2026 YTD.
Meanwhile the Zeekr 009 recorded 51 units sold in April, with 204 units registered for 2026 YTD making it the No. 1 Premium MPV model in Malaysia for 2026 YTD. Its cumulative sales volume (of all-time since launch) is 1,166 units.
Zeekr Malaysia has also strengthened its commitment to the local market through dealer network expansion - it now operates 10 showrooms and four service centres across Malaysia.
“We are encouraged by the strong response from Malaysian customers and proud that Zeekr has emerged as Malaysia’s No.1 premium EV brand. This achievement reflects the trust customers have placed in Zeekr and reinforces our commitment to bringing premium electric vehicles to Malaysia. We remain focused on growing our presence in Malaysia to deliver tech-luxe EVs that blend high-end luxury with advanced smart technology to meet the discerning needs of Malaysian drivers,” said Eddy Lu, General Manager of Zeekr Intelligent Technology Malaysia.
The Zeekr 7X played a central role in the brand’s growth, strengthening Zeekr’s position in the premium electric SUV segment through its blend of intelligent technology, advanced safety features, premium comfort, and dynamic performance, resulting in the model winning the title “SUV of the Year (RM200k-RM500k)” at MCOTY 2025 and “Electric SUV of the Year” at the Vehicle of the Year (VOTY) 2026.
Meanwhile, Zeekr 009 continues to define Zeekr’s presence in the premium electric MPV segment, appealing to customers seeking an ultra-luxury electric mobility experience with generous space, refinement, and advanced technology which resulted in the model winning “Overall Malaysia Car of the Year 2025”, alongside taking home “Best xEV of the Year” and “MPV xEV of the Year” at the Malaysia Car of The Year Awards (MCOTY 2025) as well as Best Premium EV MPV at Carlist.my & WapCar.my People’s Choice COTY 2025 Awards.
