Trumps Model 3 in Every Way - Zeekr 007 Review

This might be the first rival that trumps Model 3 in every way. 420hp in a single motor, 15% longer range, much better interior and the dynamics to match.

Already another generation forward while the rest of the world be still marveling at the BYD Seal from 2022.

[@julianmorgan79]

So i bought one yesterday, what caught me off guard is when my girlfriend and I mentioned to the sales man that we were interested in a tesla still he gave us the choice to test drive the new model 3 after we finished test driving this. When we got into the tesla it was a clear second place, the tesla just felt so small and cheap with it's materials in comparison.

[@vgstb]

The Zeekr 007 is class leading and the Tesla Model 3 has never been a real premium car.

[@henningk.4236]

Would love to see a shooting brake version! Impressive pricing, at least in China.

[@evkx]

Nice Review. Added it to our database and is currently on our frontpage.

[@honesty_-no9he]

The new brand thing is a red herring ZEEKR is part of GEELY who own VOLVO and POLESTAR. So unlike BYD and XPENG the Mother group already has service infrastructure in many countries. Plus ALL 3 brands are designed in the same design studio in Gothenburg Sweden. Then all engineered and manufactured in China.

[@jamesl.o.h.6000]

This is a beautiful car! High tech & style.

[@GTI_CHHA]

Great video as always.

[@tonynaranjo2182]

That price is lower than the price of the entry trim of a BYD Dolphin in Colombia, which is around 42k USD. It’ll never reach my country but just to put on the perspective. I think what they should do is to sell EVs without the batteries, at least give it a try. (Yes, the idea is to buy and ensamble the battery later). That would also provide with enough engineering and infrastructure for easy replacement later.

[@sahl]

Looks very good, lets hope for some good prizes in Europa and not like the Byd Seal, and that it is possible to adjust the indicator sound which is insane loud.

[@michaelblue7852]

You expect this to be cheaper than Seal? dream on.. the single motor has 420 hp..

[@deebil8099]

Nobody will let this tofu garbage into Europe. This car has been breaking down in mass and will never pass any European standards.

[@marknorth7361]

Great video..! Question please, why did they use this 400 hp motor on the 007 is this just due to on going development so will we see more new cars with crazy performance as standard? I remember the IM L6 also has an amazing motor. Would love to get your view on some of the tech and how things are developing… keep up the good work, always look forward to your videos..

[@vgstb]

Zeekr should design a lovely station wagon based on the 007 saloon.

[@alanc6416]

Looking forward to your review on the Byd sea lion, when the rear seats should be much taller making it a more comfortable vehicle for rear passengers

[@DBGE001]

Thank you very much for this detailed review! Is it true that a Station Wagon version of the Zeekr 007 is in the making?

[@stevechen24]

It is developing but zeekr haven't decided whether it will be released or not

[@deebil8099]

@@stevechen24 This car was a massive failure. This tofu garbage has had way more problems than they ever expected. Even by tofu garbage Chinese car standards. There are tons of videos of these cars failing. Everyone is trying to cancel their order. This was a massive failure. Copying a porsche design only gets you so far 😂

[@senseihEnRY16]

$29K for 420hp 500+km premium ev sedan. So jealous! In my country that kind of money can only buy you an MG 4.

[@zhaokaizhang]

Because China has a complete electric vehicle supply chain, the cost of manufacturing an electric vehicle in China is much lower than in other countries. For example, the Volkswagen ID3, the price of the same car in China is only half that of Germany.

[@bullshitbingo2259]

Let's be real, prices in western countries will be around 44.5k for the base and 54.5k for the AWD big battery version. The 550km sound like a lot, but they actually aren't. Just for comparison a Volkswagen ID.4 Pro with most aerodynamic trim options has an WLTP range of 550km and costs 48.5k. In some countries in Europe Volkswagen is offering a special promition, which brings down the price to just 40.5k. A Tesla Model 3 has 500km WLTP and costs 45.5k. So yes, the Zeekr 007 is cheaper than a Tesla Model 3, but lets be frank, Tesla is super outdated at this point and charge way too much for their vehicles. The Zeekr 007 is not the groundbreaking bargain people think it is, at least not outside China. The specs itself are impressive though and Zeekr will be a good premium option to choose from.

[@deebil8099]

The car is pure tofu garbage. I wouldn't take it for free... They all break down all the time for various reasons. The reason it's so cheap is because it's heavily subsidized by the CCP and they still lose $10k per car sold. But even with all the subsidizes, it still only feels like a $20k car. If you look at how it was designed on the inside, you would see that it was put together like crap using the worst materials. There are videos of people taking the car apart where you can see for yourself why it's so cheap

[@PeterparkerSlaps]

Just found this channel and oh my god. China is light years beyond US. Tesla needs to sprint over there. And walks in US

[@vgstb]

Tesla model 3 sames have been decimated in the last couple of months in China. Only the Model Y can compete with is't Chinese rivals.

[@michaelblue7852]

Looks very nice and great job by presenter.

[@kirwinroach7089]

Brilliant review. I'd buy one tomorrow without a doubt if they were available in the UK. Bit confused with his reference to the BMW i3, but showing images of a 3 series. The i3 is a totally different car unless the i3 in China is based on the 3 series.

[@Huaneyk]

The BMW i3 has two different types in China. The first type is the i3 as you would perceive, a tin pot little car. The second type is a BMW 3 with just engine switched to motor, they are named completely identical and I have seen both in real life. Thought it was a global thing😂😂😂

[@jansenwilder1335]

A challenge against its local Byd Han.. I like both design and features. Well done.

[@greateastball5836]

As the owner of Chinese electric vehicles, I must point out that the texture of BYD is completely uncompetitive. Maybe it is no problem in other countries, but with so many electric vehicle manufacturers in China, they lack some quality😂😂😂

[@lluow]

You know it’s gonna kill it as it’s named 007. Okay I let myself out.

[@Zeek764]

stalks, dashboard, HUD, tilting screen, range, rugged design , price - whats not to like - just needs a good charging network

Will it come to Europe or North America? If so, when?

The BMW has higher rear seats because it's an old ICU platform car. Unless you build in a foot garage, like Porsche does, every skateboard platform car will have this issue.

Other than improving your English (which is understandable since it’s not your mother tongue) your delivery and presentation are great. You manage to hold attention well. I see great things for you in future if you can keep it consistent and just remain yourself with your own style and not be tempted into sacrificing quality just for pure quantity (ridiculous viewership numbers). Keep your own flair. You’re a breathe of fresh air in the car review world where everyone is doing everything but reviews. Btw, I’m not saying be boring and plain. A bit of unpredictability here and there is always welcome, as was the case in your ‘NIO Maybach’ episode (very cool). Bravo. Edit: I also just subscribed.

Dude you are way too conservative and frankly I would never buy Mercedes. The most important aspect is ZEEKR new LFP battery that appears to be very similar to CATL's Shenxing battery. ZEEKR boasts the battery is all done in-house but the question is did they pay CATL for the formula?

[@SomewhereInTheSolarSystem]

Interesting car, don't like the seats, either front or rear. They don't appear comfortable and they are not beautiful like the ones you can find, for example, on the BYD Seal, or Avatr models. Seats are very important, I don't understand why Zeekr ruined this great car with those seats.

[@Zeek764]

unless you've sat on the seat isn't it hard to give a objective assessment? Having sat in a Seal (the seats look like too much is going on imho) & Avatr I would say they are more comfortable than Tesla. Although the Tesla seats look fine. Thats my case in point

Interior seems nicer except lack of cabin space, which is sadly common in many chinese sedans... And the pricing for this car is still cheaper than the Tesla Model 3.
