The Zeekr 001 ( simplified Chinese: 极氪 001; traditional Chinese: 極氪 001; pinyin: Jí kè 001) is the first electric vehicle of the Zeekr brand, owned by Geely Automobile Holdings. The vehicle was originally previewed as the Lynk & Co Zero Concept [2] and revealed in 2020 at the Beijing Auto Show, [3] but in October 2021 it was instead was released in China as the Zeekr 001 [4] and is scheduled for release in Europe in 2023. [5]

The Zeekr 001 claims to be the world's first mass-produced EV shooting brake. [6]

Overview

The production 001 was presented on 16 April 2021 at the Auto Shanghai and launched in October 2021 in the Mainland Chinese market. [7] Its shooting brake design is similar to the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo and it features a similar front end to that of the Lynk & Co 05, a model from another brand in the Geely Automobile Holdings group of companies and maybe not a coincidence, as the 001 model was developed by Swedish CEVT as Lynk & Co Zero Concept.

The 001 is based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture platform specific to the electric models of the Geely group. [8]

The top of the trim variant of the 001 has electric motors on both the front and rear axle, putting out a combined output of 536 hp (400 kW; 543 PS) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque and can propel the 001 from 0–100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, speed max over 200 km/h (124 mph), 30 minutes maximum power output is equal 177 hp (132 kW; 179 PS). [9] Zeekr is claiming that the 001 can run on a full charge for up to 700 km (435 mi), and its charging setup will give it 120 km (75 mi) worth of power in just five minutes of charging time. [10] A special model limited to 1,000 units will be sold in 2023 with the CATL Qilin battery containing 140 kWh to allow up to 1,000 km (621 mi) of range. [11]

[12] [13] Upgraded Zeekr 001 offers an option for 140kWh CATL Qilin batteries, with a maximum range that can exceed 1,000 kilometers. [14]
