2024 Zeekr 001: Electric Dream Wagon

[@davidlove4545]

Very excited for the Zeekr launch in Australia this year to get my hands on this.

[@johnnysmile01]

I love this car even that beautiful green color suits so well i Also like the Sedan 007 in my opinion it's the best design ever made

[@tren133]

The Zeekr 007 was THE EV SEDAN on the market for like 2 months and then Xiaomi dropped the bomb that is the SU7 on the entire automotive industry.

[@johnnysmile01]

@@tren133 i don't know about Xiaomi SU7 - each car have it's own place i think i still prefer the 007 it's a more useful car

[@tren133]

@@johnnysmile01 The SU7 just had perhaps the most hyped car launch in recent memory. Early reviews have been very positive, which is surprising since this is literally Xiaomi's very first try at making a car. BAIC can only make like 100,000 units a year in the new factory and that sold out within HOURS of the SU7 being launched. I believe they picked up over 120,000 deposits within 24 hours of it going on sale. More sporty and not as cheap or roomy as the 007, but the hype was real for the SU7. Also, if one is considering the 007, maybe just go with its sister car the Geely Galaxy E8 instead, which also looks quite nice and is even cheaper.

It's also my Dream Wagon...After the test drive, it amazed me with the feeling of BMW M550i. This car was welcomed almost like a rock star in China and even stole the thunder of Xiaomi and Tesla. From the community, owners said the car still has a lot of worthwhile upgrade parts - confusing kinetic energy recovery, unreliable ADAS (Thanks to Mobileye), higher than expected voltage consumption, and air suspension that has a fine wobble over bumps. Considering the great foundation of this car, it is worth looking forward to. And there will be "Magic Carpet" function in the future - A coordination of Lidar and air suspension!

[@JohnPadgett]

They have just started delivering this car to a few customers in Sweden and I love it! But. The early feedback here is that the current European software is making the car almost un-drivable due to bugs and an over sensitive driver monitor which bleeps every time your eyes aren't straight ahead. This can, of course be solved with future updates but what I find most worrying is that customers are already complaining about Zeekr customer care because they aren't even responding to their enquiries about the issues. Not a good start and it's certainly putting me off ordering one for now.

[@AndrewSheldon]

Nice car. Nice review. The 2.3 tonne weight lugged around is more problematic than range anxiety. But its a premium car for those who care about power and time on their terms. I don't mind YouTubing whilst charging. I'll just watch vlogs like this.

Actually, this one is designed by both euro and Chinese team. Zeekr is from Link&Co, and the design from Greely China Euro Vehicle Tech.

[@Electricdecentralisedfuture]

Awesome car to check out, really looking forward to Zeekr coming to Australia this year. My only negative feedback is to try not to let your channel become just an advertisement for Chinese cars that doesn't offer balanced reviews. It kinda seems like because you're now directly involved in exporting Chinese cars you're going shy on offering constructive criticisms as you have a vested interest in not pissing them off. Potential owners want to know the features and positives of the vehicle but they want the bad as well so they can make an informed decision. Anyway thanks for the reviews, just my thoughts.

[@yeningguo739]

But you see this channel doesn't only review one brand, but all kinds of cars -- not just EVs -- from China, why would he concern about pissing one or two company

Does it have a frunk? Can you do one pedal driving? What is the range efficiency?

[@drzhanga]

I been driving my friend's top spec 001 (and I own a tesla model 3 performance) Frunk: yes, but very small. One pedal: Yes, but not as smooth as tesla. Range efficiency: Roughly the same as my tesla, but it's got a 100wh battery vs 70 on my tesla, so it's got much more range. side notes: The acceleration I've tested is the same as my tesla, 0-100km both clocked at around 3.6s. Handling is only slightly worse than the tesla because it's way bigger. but quality of life inside the 001 beats the crap out of the tesla, auto closing doors, headup display, much larger interior space, a voice assistant that works really well (especially comparing to the retard in my tesla) and much more. And it costs only about 40,000CNY ($5k usd) more than the tesla, I think the gap is even smaller now after zeekr dropping its price by 30k.

With the launch of the Polestar 3 and 4, I see some similarities to both in the vehicle. I’m guessing it’s on the same platform as the Polestar 4 with a bit more interior space, while the Polestar 4 gains more trunk space. Sadly though, the Polestar 4 doesn’t get air suspension or have their motors tuned for the same level of performance but, they seem to cost similarly in China.
