The Zeekr 001 is a premium, all-electric five-door “shooting brake” (a blend of a coupe and a station wagon/hatchback) developed by the Chinese automaker Geely. It is built on Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform and is designed as a luxury performance vehicle with advanced technology.
Design and Interior
The 001 features a sleek, futuristic design with a low drag coefficient. Key exterior elements include frameless, soft-close doors with intelligent obstacle avoidance sensors, flush door handles, and integrated full-width LED tail lights.
The interior is highly luxurious and tech-focused:
- Seating: It is a 5-seater with high-tech comfort seats upholstered in Nappa leather, featuring heating, ventilation, and massage functions on higher trims.
- Cockpit: The driver interface includes a 15.05-inch 2.5K central OLED touchscreen (which can swivel in some markets), a slim digital instrument panel, and an advanced 35.5-inch Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR-HUD).
- Audio: A premium YAMAHA surround sound system with up to 28 speakers is available, creating an immersive audio experience.
Performance and Drivetrain
The Zeekr 001 is available in both single-motor rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations. The 2025 models are built on an 800-volt architecture, which improves charging speed and power delivery.
- RWD Version: Produces around 310 kW (422 hp) of power and 440 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 5.9 seconds.
- AWD Version: Features dual motors with a combined peak power of around 580 kW (789 hp) and 810 Nm of torque. This version achieves 0 to 100 km/h in a rapid 3.3 to 3.8 seconds, depending on the exact trim.
- Transmission: All variants use a single-speed automatic transmission.
Battery and Range
The vehicle uses BYD Blade LFP or NCM batteries integrated into the chassis for structural integrity.
- Battery Options: Available with capacities including 95 kWh and 100 kWh. An ultra-long-range version with a 140 kWh battery (using Qilin battery technology) was also available in certain markets, offering exceptional range.
- Range: The official CLTC or WLTP range varies widely by configuration, from approximately 500 km (310 miles) to over 1,000 km (620 miles) for the special 140 kWh variant.
Charging
The 800V architecture in the 2025 models enables ultra-fast charging capabilities.
- DC Fast Charging: The car supports megawatt-level charging speeds (up to 1,140 kW at specific V3 stations in China, though less elsewhere). A 10% to 80% charge can be achieved in as little as 15 minutes with ultra-high power chargers, or around 30 minutes on a more common 150 kW DC charger.
- AC Charging: It supports AC charging up to 22 kW in some European markets, allowing a full charge in roughly 5 to 10 hours depending on the battery size.
