A few days ago, the details of the polar krypton 009 cockpit were released to the public, which subsequently attracted the attention of ideal car CEO Li Xiang. In the Weibo message area of a car blogger, Li wanted to comment: "I feel like I'm squatting in the trunk. Three rows of seats seem to be gone." In response, Yang Xueliang, senior vice president of Zhejiang Geely holding Group, retweeted and responded: "Don't talk nonsense, you didn't squat in the trunk." This is the space from the second platoon to the last three rows. You are welcome to compare it for yourself. " And there are three rows of seats with pictures of extreme Krypton 009 at the bottom of the text. On October 26th, Li wanted to post again but deleted Weibo. Yang Xueliang also responded that Polar Krypton 009 is the world's first primary pure electric MPV, which is based on the vast structure of SEA, and does not need to consider the squeeze of traditional fuel, hybrid and extended range power agencies on the overall vehicle space, so that the space of MPV can be released to the maximum extent. Such a space revolution is subversive. The interior space and luxury of the polar krypton 009 will surpass the traditional luxury MPV, such as Lexus LM and Toyota Elfa. The previously released images can reflect the new luxury experience brought about by intelligence; as the world's first native pure electric architecture, MPV will bring subversive perception to the luxury car market above 5 meters.

Data show that from 2016 to 2021, the sales volume of the domestic MPV market fell from 2.4 million to 1.079 million, and the market share gradually decreased. From the current market performance of MPV, although MPV has a small market share, the domestic middle and high-end MPV market has entered a period of rapid development. Under the changes of the car market, more and more car companies have entered the MPV market, including Lantu Automobile, FAW Toyota, FAW Red Flag and Tengli Automobile, etc., and have made great efforts to distribute new models in this field, but after entering 2022, the domestic MPV market as a whole presents a new trend. According to data from the China Automobile Association, the cumulative sales of models worth more than 300000 yuan from January to September in 2022 continued to grow, of which MPV models accounted for 0.5 percent of the total market sales, about 74000 vehicles, accounting for 10.8 percent of MPV market sales from January to September in 2022. According to the data of the Federation of passengers, the overall sales of the domestic MPV market from January to September in 2022 fell 15.1% to 688000 vehicles compared with the same period last year, of which Wuling Hongguang remained the leader in MPV sales, with a cumulative sales decline of 34.3% to 126309 vehicles from January to September, followed by Buick GL8 (down 20.9% year on year to 97399 vehicles) and Sena (54314 vehicles). Chuanqi M8 (down 9.3% to 45395) and popular Lingzhi (down 10.7% to 34466). As multi-car companies continue to increase the size of the MPV market layout, which means that the market competition will be more fierce, polar krypton 009 as a brand-new model can "break out" needs more time to verify.

Polar krypton brand (English name ZEEKR) was founded on April 15, 2021, is Geely's new intelligent pure electric car brand, jointly invested by Geely Automobile and Geely Holdings, with a shareholding ratio of 51% and 49% respectively. Li Shufu is chairman of the company and an Conghui is CEO. As an important brand of Geely's transformation to new energy, so far, the polar krypton brand has only one model on sale, which is based on the vast architecture of SEA and has a total of four models with a price range of 29.90-386000 yuan. Delivery will begin in October 2021. The latest figures show that 10119 ZEEKR 001s were delivered in October 2022, an increase of 22.3% from the previous month. However, from the perspective of annual delivery, there is still a certain gap with its previous annual sales target. According to statistics, a total of 49593 ZEEKR 001s were delivered from January to October 2022, achieving 70.8 per cent of the annual sales target of 70,000 vehicles. As for the new MPV model polar krypton 009 after the launch can boost the overall sales performance of the polar krypton brand, it remains to be tested.
