Description

Geely launched a full-size electric station wagon in Shooting Brake style under the index 001 in 2021. By 2024, they prepared a modernization of the model. The main event is the appearance of a high-performance limited edition FR (Future Road), which received significant technical and aesthetic changes. Externally, this variant is distinguished by a lowered suspension, 22-inch disks, improved aerodynamic qualities due to the appearance of additional overlays on the bumpers and sills, there is an active rear spoiler. As for technical features, the Zeekr 001 FR has an impressive power of 1265 hp and accelerates to a hundred in less than 2.5 seconds. The other versions also have improvements – the power has been raised from 270-550 hp to 420-790 hp. As in FR, the platform is transferred to 800 V and gives the opportunity to install batteries up to 140 kWh (standard – 100 kW).

If we talk about the design of conventional versions of Zeekr 001, it is noticeable that the front bumper is designed in the FR style: the air vents have been redesigned, the lower grille has become trapezoidal – in general, the car looks more aggressive. The distinctive feature remains the quadruple headlight units with matrix light sources, as well as dual stripes of running lights in the hood area. There are changes in the interior of Zeekr 001. They can be found, for example, in the design of the steering wheel (it now has more convenient remote controls with physical scroll buttons), in the shape of door cards and even the very design of the front panel (design of air ducts), although the layout remains largely familiar. With the upgrade, the station wagon gets a new fast-performing Qualcomm 8295 chip and OS update, the media system now has an OLED screen, and the driver’s display has been increased from 8.8 to 13 inches. The projection display (35.3 inches) has gotten bigger. Still Zeekr 001 provides very high comfort. There is ventilation, heating and massage, optional side support adjustment for the front seats. The second row has buttons for electric backrest adjustment, a separate control screen for air conditioning, seat heating and music (the new audio system includes 28 speakers).

From a technical point of view, the exclusive Zeekr 001 FR deserves the greatest interest. It is currently the fastest mass-produced passenger car – 2.4 seconds of 0-100 km/h acceleration. The top speed is 280 km/h. It is equipped with four motors (one per wheel). Total power reaches 930 kW, or 1,265 horsepower, with a torque of 1,280 Nm. Among other things, the presence of independent wheel drive allows the vehicle to even turn on the spot. As for driving range, it has been sacrificed for power – the standard 100 kWh battery lasts only 550 kilometers. But with fast charging, you can recover between 10% and 80% of the charge in 15 minutes. The regular Zeekr 001 also supports modern chargers and has improved parameters – the new motors give the station wagon the ability to accelerate to a hundred in 3.3-5.9 seconds depending on the drive (in previous models the result was 3.8-6.9 seconds). Autonomy is improved – for example, for the rear-wheel drive version with an optional CATL battery of 140 kWh claimed 1032 kilometers on NEDC. The figures for the standard 2024 versions also look good – the all-wheel drive version has a range of 675 km, and the rear-wheel drive version has a range of 750 km. For comparison, previously the station wagon gave an autonomy of 536-732 km.

The Zeekr 001 is based on the SEA platform, designed specifically for electric vehicles and in principle does not provide for the use of internal combustion engines. The front overhang is very short, the rear overhang is also small, as the development of the station wagon initially used a very long wheelbase – 3 meters. The car has independent multi-lever suspension, air suspension with the possibility of adjusting ground clearance. Body dimensions are 4977 x 1999 x 1545 mm (L x W x H). Compared to the old model, the length has increased by 7 mm, and the height has decreased by 15 mm. By the way, thanks to a significant distance between the axles Zeekr 001 offers a large cargo volume – with folded rear seats it reaches 2144 liters. For buyers of the updated station wagon offer the option of an intelligent electric trailer – a hidden telescopic hook, the maximum towing weight is 2 tons.

The modernization of the car achieves a new level of safety through better and faster assessment of traffic situations – the car gets standard roof-mounted lidar. All modern technologies are available – from active braking to automatic parking, as well as autonomous high-speed driving with navigation.

Summarizing, it should be said that with restyling Zeekr 001 got really large-scale changes, which should keep the popularity of the model at a high level – in 2021-2022, more than 70 thousand cars were sold and about the same number in 2023. Chinese station wagon attracts with its sporty forms, luxurious interior and the fact that it is literally packed with technologies. But there are also disadvantages – high price, many users note that the range is lower than stated, not infrequent problems with system hang-up, voice recognition, brake squeak, etc.
