The Zeo was a four-passenger sport wagon, powered by a single 268 hp (200 kW) electric motor with a lithium-ion battery.[5] It is rear wheel drive and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.7 seconds.[6] The vehicle had a range of 250 miles (400 km) between charges.[7] It featured conventional scissor doors in the front and rear hinged scissor doors in the back.

A series plug-in hybrid version was expected to have a 40 miles (64 km) only-electric range.
The company said it expected to outsource much of the production, had not selected partners, and had no timetable for production.[8] In the event, the Dodge ZEO never saw production.
