On 27th December, Zeekr Intelligent Technology officially released the brand’s first pure electric luxury sedan, Zeekr 007. In front of the recently listed Zeekr X, behind the very hot Tesla four-car comparison site, today we will see how this Zeekr 007 car.

The Zeekr’s main focus is a performance car, officially positioned as the industry’s #1 sedan in the $200,000 class. What are the models at this level? Tesla MODEL 3, Galaxy E8, NIO ET5, Xiaomi SU7.BBA level inside the Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-class. Zeekr 007 has also been made the fastest accelerating and cheapest car within 300,000 CHY($41,666).

Zeekr 007 exterior design

Zeekr’s design language has been biased towards the sporty style; at first look at the picture, you will see that this car is a bit thick because it seems that the proportion of the door is much higher than the proportion of the window. Zeekr 007’s body length, width, and height are 4865/1900/1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2928mm.

In fact, you can see that the car’s height is only 1.4m; the Zeekr 007 and Zeekr 007 are put together to compare; this car is already the shortest car in their family. The most distinctive feature of the new car is definitely the front of this huge long light curtain, using one-piece through lights that can be drawn through the car machine with a variety of personalised patterns, with 1,711 LED lamp beads. The front hood adopts the “clam design”, which is very unique and avant-garde in terms of styling.

Zeekr Future Design

Since the launch of the Zeekr 007, some people have said something about the Zeekr design becoming less and less like the Zeekr; I definitely think this car looks like it will be softer than the 001 design. The Zeekr X, with its cream-coloured body and pet-friendly back seat, has attracted a lot of female owners. I’m also guessing that Zeekr will be designing more neutral shapes in the future and gradually weakening the sportier models. zeekr now has the sedan 001, SUV Zeekr X, Mpv 009, and the performance car Zeekr 001 FR, which is a very complete product for a new brand, so take a guess at what Zeekr’s next car will look like.

Zeekr 007 makes its debut at CES

Why is Zeekr putting a lot of advanced technology on top of Zeekr 007? Sources familiar with the matter said that Zeekr will conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in the US in February this year, and is now at a critical stage of proving to the capital market that it is the nation’s leader in all aspects of sales potential, profitability, and technology, so it needs to build an inexpensive and highly-equipped vehicle to meet the expectations of both the capital market and consumers.

Interior decor

Inside the car’s interior, the mainstream decorating method of minimalist style and large screens is used throughout. The seats throughout the car are made from Nappa full-grain headliner leather and feature a 21-speaker 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos audio system with headrest audio for the main driver. The interior also features a Microfiber microfiber velour headliner with metallic coat hooks.

OLED touchscreen

Zeekr 007 car is equipped with a 15.05-inch 2.5K OLED sunflower centre control screen supports three-way screen rotation, which can meet the needs of different use scenarios. The centre control screen Snapdragon 8295 on-board chip, the smoothness has reached the upper level of the industry. What should the main driver do if the co-pilot is using the screen? Zeekr 007 gives you a very large clear 35.5 inch HUD.

Zeekr 007 High-Speed Cruising

Zeekr 007 does not have NOA city intelligent driving, but all have NZP, LCC + function.NZP system follows the car, including changing lanes, and has a significant improvement. We do not want Zeekr 007 to be so aggressive. When you are decelerating, Zeekr 007 decelerates gradually and not quickly like Zeekr 001, so it is very comfortable for the people in the car. The key point is that the Zeekr 007’s NZP system can be adjusted, and there are standard and agile modes for overtaking and lane-changing speeds, so I think this aspect is made more user-friendly.

Driving experience

Zeekr 007 4WD Performance Edition, Zero Hundred Acceleration in 2.84 seconds. Zeekr based on the track characteristics of the 001 FR, from the three electric to the chassis of Zeekr 007 4WD Performance Edition for exclusive performance development and tuning, so that the damper and spring stiffness is higher, the front and rear stabiliser bars are thicker, so that the extreme dynamic performance is more accurate and more stable. So Zeekr 007 driving up the steering wheel and throttle brake feeling is still on the hard side, especially since this brake stroke is very short; gently step on the brake immediately brake, so it is still partial to sports tuning.

Longest range, fastest charging and most versatile 800V model

Zeekr 007 is equipped with 800V as standard. Under the 800V architecture, the range of Zeekr 007 equipped with a self-developed Golden Brick Battery can reach up to 688 km, while the range of the model equipped with a Kirin Battery is up to 870 km.

Zeekr 007 also supports a V2V DC power supply with a maximum output of 60kW, which can be used as a mobile charging station for outdoor camping, as well as cross-brand vehicle-to-vehicle charging.

Range increase of 610km in 15 minutes

With the most extensive 800V ultra-fast charging network, Zeekr 007 has become the world’s fastest charging pure electric sedan. Charging for 15 minutes can increase the range by up to 610km.

Safety Configuration

In terms of body process, Zeekr 007 adopts a one-piece die-casting rear-end aluminium body, and its torsional rigidity reaches 43,500 N-m/deg; in terms of material innovation, Zeekr 007 applies to brand new “Fibre Crystal” aluminium alloy material, which has higher mobility, better consistency of the die-castings after moulding, stronger toughness, and improved yield strength by more than 10%. More than 10%. At the same time, Zeekr 007’s post-touch deformation has been reduced by 16%.

Summaries

It can be seen that Zeekr 007 is going to lead the pure electric sedan market into the 800V era and achieve comprehensive upgrades in performance, safety, design, intelligence and other aspects to create a better intelligent electric travel experience for users.

After the rise of national brands relying on new energy to change the track, domestic MPVs have also blown the horn of counterattack. The former Denza D9 in the plug-in hybrid MPV market call the wind and rain; after the extreme ZEEKR 009 in the pure electric MPV market dominance, but also more than $69,444 of all categories of MPV champion.

Appearance Design

First of all, let’s look at the static part of Zeekr 009 exterior design, the first step is to unlock the car, there is a very cool sound effect when unlocking the car, the front grille will have an animation of the led lights, and then you can hear the sound of the power on, including the entire lighting system, the Led lighting system is also linked. 

Zeekr 009 exterior part of the most prominent feature is big, five meters two long, three meters two wheelbase, especially from the side of the body from this perspective, through the double A-pillar and D-pillar processing, so that it creates a kind of floating roof effect, to a large extent to further deepen the body of the body of the relatively slender visual impression. In order to match the large size of the body, the wheel part of the use of 20-inch wheels, wheels in the middle of the vertical long set of lines presenting a radial open effect, the entire wheel using a low wind resistance design optimizes the vehicle’s range.

Zeekr 009 manufacturers spend a lot of money to design the double A-pillar part of the large curvature of the curved glass, in addition to making it look better and the car in front of the broader field of vision, but also to serve the aerodynamic characteristics of the entire vehicle. This is also very important for new energy MPV models, so the whole Zeekr 009 wind resistance coefficient is also controlled at 0.27.

Interior Design

Zeekr 009 interior still continues the Zeekr brand’s more distinctive family style, including the steering wheel shape, 10.25-inch full LCD instrumentation, 15.4-inch centre control screen, and electronic shifter area of the functional layout. The entire car’s interior materials are also covered with large areas of soft materials, which is more in line with the car’s to focus on high-end luxury MPV market positioning. Zeekr 009 has two important changes, the first is the multi-function buttons on the steering wheel from touch control to physical buttons, which can greatly eliminate the troubles that plague many Zeekr 001 users; the second is the centre control screen equipped with Zeekr 009 OS for MPV version, so that the display surface of the navigation interface becomes bigger, and at the same time, you can also two cell phone finger sliding so that it becomes a full-screen display.

On the main driver’s side of the screen, in addition to controlling the two power side slides, it also adds more function buttons that can control the rear seat-related functions, such as in the third row of passengers in and out of the second row of seats will certainly encounter changes in the shape of the second row of seats, as well as the second row in the ride of the VIP passengers, it may be applied to the first class-exclusive, double squatting, and a key reset of these functions, that these functions are to better serve the second row of passengers in this car.

Second Row Seating Experience

Next, look at the Zeekr 009 second row of the whole comfortable experience; the interior is a choice of high-grade blue and white colour scheme, the top and side are set with ambient lighting, and some small details are done very texture so that you sit up and feel very comfortable. Because Zeekr 009 compared to the traditional MPV is the most obvious difference is that the second row is not designed in the middle of the aisle, so it will appear that the second beat of the seat space is particularly wide next to the two hand leaning is also very comfortable, no sense of constraints, but also set up a key to adjust the angle of the backrest, the height of the legrest, and the seat of the heating and ventilation, as well as the function of the massage. The leg rest function is very special, it is in addition to a lift function, it also has the function of rising long to take care of the various height stages of the second row of distinguished users.

When the person in the third row wants to get in and out of the vehicle, simply press the button in the second row to move the second row of seats forward. and will not interfere with the person in the second row and get in with enough space. The second row of this core business is equipped with a small metal tabletop; you just need to remove the cover underneath and pull out the small tabletop. This small tabletop has a dampened feel and can be secured in all positions, so you can put tablets and computers on it, and it’s not far from you.

Third Row Seating Experience

In the third row, the ride comfort is also very good, its seat back angle can even be completely reclined, but in the process of driving, in the safety of the issue we do not recommend that you do so. The rear position is also set up entertainment configuration, you just need to take out the Bluetooth remote control casually point, you can lower the 15.6-inch screen and open, and then adjusted to the rear row of our a suitable position. 15.6 display is also included in the market all a video application, QQ music, K song and TV, you can also want to watch the content of the cast screen to the entertainment screen.

Because Zeekr 009 body length is long, so the backrest of the third row of seats from the tailgate there is a distance, on the one hand, it can be placed in some large luggage items, and on the other hand, it is also for the rear end of the collision of the cushion reserved. The use of a one-piece compression of the rear end and the body ensures the safety of this MPV in a collision.

Power Driving Feeling

The core part of Zeekr 009 dynamic driving system is equipped with front and rear dual motors with a total power of 400kw and a maximum torque of 686Nm. In the official 100km acceleration time (s) is 4.5s, braking distance per hour is 36.9 meters, in CLTL working conditions, Zeekr 009 comprehensive range is 702 kilometers. Zeekr 009 subjective driving experience, its power performance gives the impression that it is full and full, and the power release is very even and linear. General electric car start acceleration is very light before the power output is very positive feeling, and Zeekr 009 torque release linear degree, like the feeling of large displacement naturally aspirated engine, it is easy to control. In the daily driving state Zeekr 009 chassis driving texture is still noteworthy, for the road surface of the fine bumps and vibrations are basically able to do easy to dissolve, air springs can adjust the height of the suspension, to meet the road throughthe sex, but also able to go to the state of high-speed driving to reduce the wind speed.
