Zeekr Malaysia Appoints New Dealers to Expand Network

Zeekr Malaysia: Dealer Network Expansion

Zeekr Malaysia is the official distributor of Zeekr electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia, a premium EV brand under Geely Holding Group. The company is expanding its dealer network to improve customer access to sales, service, and charging support across the country. This expansion addresses the need for convenient EV purchase and after-sales touchpoints for Malaysian urban and suburban drivers.

Zeekr entered the Malaysian market in 2024 and is represented by Zeekr Malaysia, a subsidiary of the local automotive group. The brand offers models such as the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X, targeting the premium EV segment. The current network expansion aims to increase the number of authorised dealerships from two to five by mid-2025, covering key regions including the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor. This move is intended to reduce the average travel distance for service and test drives, a common pain point for early EV adopters in Malaysia.

Key Facts

Which New Dealers Has Zeekr Malaysia Appointed?

Zeekr Malaysia has appointed three new authorised dealers in Penang, Johor Bahru, and Ipoh as part of its network expansion, according to a report by Carsifu.my. The appointments were announced in March 2025 and are expected to bring the total number of Zeekr outlets in Malaysia to five by the third quarter of 2025. The new dealers are established automotive groups with existing experience in premium EV sales and service. Each location will include a showroom, service centre, and DC fast-charging facilities.

“The addition of these dealers marks a significant step in making Zeekr vehicles more accessible to customers outside the Klang Valley,” said a Zeekr Malaysia spokesperson in the Carsifu.my report. — Carsifu.my, March 2025

The Penang dealer is located in George Town, the Johor Bahru outlet is near the CIQ complex, and the Ipoh facility is along the main trunk road. These locations were chosen to cover the northern, southern, and central regions of Peninsular Malaysia respectively.

How Does This Expansion Benefit Malaysian EV Buyers?

Malaysian EV buyers will benefit from reduced travel distances for test drives, servicing, and warranty claims, as the new dealers cover three major urban corridors: Penang, Johor Bahru, and Ipoh. Previously, Zeekr owners outside the Klang Valley had to travel up to 300 km for service. With the new network, the average distance to a Zeekr service centre drops to under 50 km for customers in those states. The expansion also increases the availability of DC fast-charging points at dealerships, addressing range anxiety for long-distance travel. According to the Carsifu.my report, Zeekr Malaysia aims to have at least one dealer in every state by 2026.

What Is the Timeline for the New Dealership Openings?

The three new Zeekr dealerships are scheduled to open between April and July 2025, with the Penang outlet opening first in April, followed by Johor Bahru in June, and Ipoh in July. The timeline was confirmed in the Carsifu.my article, citing Zeekr Malaysia’s internal rollout plan. Each dealership will undergo a two-month fit-out and staff training period before commencing operations. The existing two outlets in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor will continue to serve as flagship locations.

Who Is This Expansion For in Malaysia?

This dealer network expansion is designed for Malaysian urban professionals and families in Penang, Johor, and Perak who are considering a premium EV but have been deterred by the lack of local service support. The typical Zeekr buyer in Malaysia lives in a landed property or high-rise condo with access to home charging (240V, 13A socket). The expansion also targets company fleet operators in industrial zones such as Bayan Lepas (Penang) and Pasir Gudang (Johor). For these users, the key pain points are service proximity and charging infrastructure. The new dealers will offer complimentary charging for the first year of ownership, as reported by Carsifu.my.

Common Questions

Will the new Zeekr dealers offer test drives for the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X?

Yes, each new dealership will have at least one test-drive unit of both models. Test drives can be booked online or walk-in, subject to availability. The Penang and Johor outlets will also offer extended test-drive programmes for serious buyers.

Do the new Zeekr service centres support warranty repairs and battery diagnostics?

Yes, all authorised Zeekr dealers are equipped with Geely-certified diagnostic tools and trained technicians for warranty repairs, battery health checks, and software updates. The 8-year battery warranty is honoured at all locations.

Are there any special launch promotions for customers in Penang, Johor, or Ipoh?

Zeekr Malaysia is offering a RM 5,000 early-booking rebate for the first 50 customers at each new dealership, along with a complimentary home charger installation (worth RM 3,500). These promotions are valid until the end of July 2025, as stated in the Carsifu.my report.
