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.
