“This is a really exciting step for us, as we offer even more automotive options to our customers in Malaysia,” says Fong Hon Sum, CEO of International Marketplace at Carro. “We’re seeing a growing market in Malaysia for hybrid and electric vehicles, with developing infrastructure and tax exemptions in place, and we’re ready to provide these services to Malaysians who are keen to make the switch to EVs. Our expertise within the EV sector has us well-placed to handle inspections, repairs, and maintenance, and we’re so excited to have Zeekr as our partner.”

This collaboration also aligns with our broader business strategy as we prepare for the introduction of our next important model, the Zeekr 7X.“ 

Details of the MOU

There are currently 3 showrooms, known as Zeekr Space, located in Petaling Jaya and IOI Mall Puchong. 

As part of the partnership, Carro and Zeekr will be opening 4 new dealerships and 3 new authorised workshops across Kuala Lumpur and Seremban.

Customers who buy a Zeekr vehicle from Carro can look forward to the standard dealer warranty, plus access to a full suite of Carro services, including financing, aftersales and insurance services with Genie Financial Services, Carro Care and Coverro, respectively. 

A bold future for Carro in Malaysia

This isn’t Carro’s first move into new car sales – it recently began offering new cars in Singapore in March 2025. But Malaysia marks its second official expansion into the Brand New category, reinforcing Carro’s commitment to new product lines and more variety in its inventory. 

And with Zeekr’s lineup of premium, high-performance EVs now in the picture – including the 009 MPV and the sport-focused Zeekr X and Zeekr 7X – Malaysian drivers now have something truly exciting to look forward to.
