I'm in China, and I test-drive this car. The car is definitely more good-looking than in the pictures. Fast and amazing in handling, the drive is definitely enjoyable at the price. The only bad part is that the soundproofing is not good enough (kind of worse than the new Model 3). The Salesman told me many staff in the Geely group had bought this car themselves.
Best of all. It has a stalk for the turn signal and a stalk for the wipers. That is the main requirement for me.
Don't open the glove box, you'll release some novel virus upon the world
@@RonnyJakobssonSometimes things that work should be left as they are.
In case u don't know that cheapest car in the U.S is the Bolt EV n is still around 30k after incentive.
No, the Americans had no involvement in this car or access to the factory
It would be so interesting to see the faces of the legacy car executives when they see these cars coming out of China every week!! Gulp!
they've got the government playing defence for them. ... and they have your tax dollars waiting in the wings to bail them out for some bug fat bonuses at the end of it all. they are not worries.
lets be honest we don't know how reliable those cars are
@@user-tg9yo2vo6uwell i know apart from Tesla that majority of EV thats made in America, Japan and gemany are absolutely Rubbish
China supports Russia.
What are we doing in this world?
@@user-tg9yo2vo6u
Can't be that much less reliable than most American brands...
And the best part, this isn't a questionable new brand, but a well established brand. Zeekr is basically the EV department of Lynk & Co, which is an offspring of Geely, and has traditionally been the first brand in China to push for performance cars, with LOTUS making the suspension for their Zeekr 001.
zeekr 007 is designed by chief designer of Bentley..
Sam. Wish you, your wife and the boys best for 2024. My main prayer concerns your wife and the sad impact on your family. Bless you and keep up the nice job your doing. Love it
what happened to his family?
75 kWh battery, charges 80% in 5 min. That is a charging rate of 12 x 60 kW = 720 kW
So this is only possible with megawatt chargers like the ones for the Tesla Semi truck.
Yep. I think there is much to de-bunk and un-twine here. The press releases that I came across claimed 500km of range in 15 minutes. Also ZEEKR operates roughly 400 "ultra-fast" chargers with 360 kW peak. They claim to expand that amount of stations, not the outputs of those. So we are looking at 360 kW charging. At 688 km of range for the 007, 500 km probably reflects the 10% to 80% optimal charging window.
Yes, does not make sense. Even if a charger was up to the task, the amount of heat produced due to the internal resistance of the pack would require unbelievable heat transfer
Nope, charges that fast at any wall outlet, or using a small solar panel that fits in the trunk. 100% charge in 5 min.
GAC had 900kw Charging in pre production last year. Fully charge has a demo video for the system. Cant said Geely doesnt having something similar in pipeline. It is good to have architechture with bit of more foresight to ensure it wont obsolete too fast. The people buying this car may not have the infrustructure to tap in the full potential at the moment. But when couple year down the road, the newer chargeer online. They will be enjoying this feature.
@@user-jh6vt8vx4v The question is how detrimental is it to the battery to charge at that rate. You can do things in a demo that are good for marketing points, but not good for standard practice.
I really hope this doesn’t have problems which causes them to stop production. Because the world needs this car.
Joe Biden said Chinese EV like BYD are destroying "our freedom and democracy". He reminds me the Chinese emperor from the Qing dynasty. He refused to trade with the west who was going to crush China's textile industry due to steam machine mass produced ones are better in quality and cheaper in price than Chinese hand made fabrics. And we all know what happened to China next in the history.
100k in europe i bet ..
Where's its supercharger network? It doesn't matter how fast it charges if there are no chargers
@@PaleBlueDotCitizen Ya throw a diesel generator in the trunk and its a hybrid LOL We are not going to see a supercharger network in the USA for a very long time... and even longer as EV sales slow. That's 20 years away.
However this is a decent looking car. Tesla needs to update their models at least ever 2 years with different aesthetics... I just find Tesla boring as sh|+ and the interiors suck.
Not to mention these EVs are way too fast for most drivers with a 0-60 at 3 seconds. I would sacrifice that to have a fully loaded interior.
Maybe they should make a dual-motor version where the second motor is actually for amazing efficiency on the highway and it disconnects the huge main drive motor. Once your moving you dont need much power to keep it going down the highway.
@@PaleBlueDotCitizen in europe there are enough, u can charge at teslas network now too
Zeekr 001 FR is my fav. A bit more money though =)
Thank you Sam for this eye opener video and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Keep up the great work. ✌👍👍
Yeah, for the price I'd say you cant beat it. Almost too good to be true with the charging rate and range but good for them if it is true. The screen on the front is goofy but the outside speakers could be nice if you were parked and wanted to play some music. Nice car.
Given relationship and past cooperation between Zeekr and Polestar (both owned by Geely), there’s a good chance this comes to US and Europe under Polestar brand, eg upcoming Polestar 4 shares platform and bunch of technology of Zeekr 001.
The specs you are listing are the top of the range model that is over $40k. The base model doesn't have anywhere near the performance, it also doesnt have any of the self driving features because it doesn't have lidar in the base model. Base model also doesn't include the LED bumper.
i think people know that will be different
Didn't Tesla remove lidar? Not sure lidar is a pre-requisite for some forms of self driving. $40k is still a good price if it goes as good as it looks. Though doubt I have any 600/500kw chargers near me.
tesla never had LIDAR, they had radar and removed it@@geoffhaylock6848
@@infoworld7706 No, the implication from the video is that the $29k car was 2.8 seconds. Over 5 seconds is a whole different world.
@@geoffhaylock6848 Tesla never had lidar. It is a very expensive technology. Tesla did have radar (since removed) and ultrasonic sensors (also removed) but never lidar.
Thanks for sharing this progress Sam... world needs to catch up!
It's good you say 'zero zero seven' which it always has been, rather than 'oh oh seven' which it cannot be. And I've always wanted to be able to send text messages to those outside the car - like 'stop tailgating' or 'thank you'. And to be able to speak to those outside the car too. I don't think it's s gimmick. I used to have a speaker outside my helicopter.
Double o 7
James bond whatever you call it
What about crash test and safety rating, depreciation, max number of charging cycles, cost to replace battery, warranty, battery degredation over time, over the air updates, charging plug (NACS, CCS, other ? ), home charging, charging using normal 110/220V plug, adapters, accessories, charging network, service center network, service turn around time, availability of an SUV or hot-hatch versions of the Zeeker ?
All things that just ran through my mind. Looks promising. Quality, pricing, insurance, availability, import taxes... So much to think about. Exciting ! ! !
All those problems are non issues with a Nio , it’s the best Ev to own . 😊
correct, another electric car supplier from China, will Geely survive, and what about reliability and durability. And do they have a complete grasp of Code of Conduct, which is one of the things that Chinese manufacturers find difficult to comply with. I will wait a while longer, one is a lot of spec on a piece of paper, another is the reality after a few years.
@@janjepsen4268 Nio was number 1 in safety this year.
...and software experience
Zeeker impossible to crash. BEST AI. Fireproof, can not burn.
Proven durability is all that's in question. Sounds great but so did Ultium
But, but Chinese cars will fall apart in 2 weeks. Homeless America number 1.
Yes, Bob - time will tell as it's put through the paces!
Chinese cars have already proven their durability. There are many customers who hv given their testimony.
@@IamHandsome4u
Oh really!?
Perhaps you should me made aware of the chaos surrounding Chinese EVs, that you don't hear about in mainstream media.
ua-cam.com/video/yOA7qKMcjcE/v-deo.html
They have a heck of a lot to prove, my friend, and jumping blindingly in the hype train is akin to playing Russian Roulette.
@@lifeisgood141Many Teslas are made in China and they are better than the US made Teslas. Look it up.
Best battery stats. You have to evaluate the rest of the driving experience, and everything else. A good start. If they can make a sedan at that level and price, what can they do for a smaller hatch?
Happy New Year! Wow the specs are great. Unbelievable value.
Love it
Very intriguing but I would hesitate to call it a "better car" than, well, anything else sight unseen. Will it access Tesla SC network? Will it have Tesla-like reliability or will it burn your house down? How expensive is it going to be in the U.S. after all the chinese import penalties? How does it actually drive and handle? Sure looks good but I'm going to hold off on the verdict until it is in my country.
Tesla kan not even figure out how to make a HUD
If this car comes to Europe with a reasonable price, I think I'm sold. I drove the Polestar 2, which is a fantastic car, I drove Nio, HiPhi, Lucid, Tesla, BYD, but this steals the cake, especially for the price!
no way it comes to europe at that price..or even close.
The main problem with Chinese cars in EU is .. where do you repair them if their is a problem?
dont be so excited for you have yet to hear how they offer after sales service. may be for a year or two, every car they sell run well. then, who knows everything starts to break apart
@@user-tg9yo2vo6u Where? I looked on the BYD website for EU. I don't see any address.
@@user-tg9yo2vo6u That's why I'd lease...
Thanks for covering this. It's good to know whose going to be competition for Tesla in the future.
This 007 is beautiful 😍 i love it it's the best car ever, outside inside it beats Model 3 and every ev it's design is mindblowing what a car
I like this channel but I find that there is too often sensational clickbait news presented as established fact when it's actually just early research or untested statements
Sounds too good to be true. I'm very skeptical.
Sam you have to drive the car over time to ensure to stats are real
I find the outside screen projecting emoticons awesome.
I'll believe it when it goes into volume production and it is tested by EV reviewers on it's range, charging curve, efficiency and most important reliability!
Reminds me of the Lucid car front and back?
Something’s not right here. 75 KWH and 690 KLM is 9.2 KLM/KWH. That is massively more efficient than anything else in existence. I get around 7.6 in my 2021 SR+ - which is smaller and I am assuming much lighter. The basic physics tells me these is more than a little exaggeration here. IF not - I’ll get one.
The physics doesn't lie. The electric viking on the other hand is just insanely credulous.
@@Rick_Cavallaro More like an pr manager anything related to electricity
Also what he did not mention. The Models are a lot more expensive in Europe than on the chinese market. Not even in his own country he will get them this cheap.
This is because it is measured according to the Chinese CLTC standard which is even more whimsical than the western WLTP standard. 690 km CLTC is more like 600 km WLTP. With a 75 kWh battery, the efficiency is then 8 km/kWh (or 12.5 km per 100 km) which is a good efficiency perfectly achievable with today's EV technology. However, pay attention that the 75 kWh announced may be the raw battery capacity and not the real useful net capacity, so the real efficiency may be in fact lower.
Treat those specs with caution. They may be advertising gimmicks. It will be wiser to listen to the users after they have driven the EVs for some time.
I imagine the lifetime of its battery pack will be severely sacrificed if charging is as quick as they claim...
The claimed range of 690 km is based on the CLTC-Cycle, which doesn't reflect real-world conditions. Achieving such an impressive range with a 75 kWh battery seems utopic given the current battery technology because Geely would have to be ahead of all the other companies in battery technology in order to actually achieve that. It's probable that the actual real-world range is similar to its competitors, so basically depending on driving speed and temperature around 300-450 km. Also, have these superfast charging speed claims been tested in real-world ?
Super fastcharging sounds great but at what cost to the battery life.There are usually trade offsite the company making any profits and how much of these figures are real.
But geely have partnered with nio recently, so will soon come with a swappable battery , so battery issues not a worry
I think the screen on the outside of the car is Awesome! I’ve wanted something like that for a long time.
"Stop tail gating me please !" or "Baby on board? No one cares!"
The headlight wrap around line needs to be extended to the spoiler in the back. Some kind of paint line, pin stripes, vinyl tape or something. Other than that, it's a good looking car. Heckova battery pack too, if it is as good as they claim.
There is even more, four link front suspention, multilink rear suspension, a huge megacasting part in the rear.
Worth looking into Lotus Cars also and Geely involvement Sam. The Lotus Eletre was designed at the Geely Design Studio in Coventry and is produced in Wuhan, China. What’s the betting this car is brought into Europe with a Lotus, or Volvo or Polestar badge.
I love the way you compare cars based on specs only.
Teardown expert Sandy Munro believes the Chinese made cars are very good in fit and finish,I just have been a passenger in a Chinese made car ,MG a British brand that is now 100% Chinese, if that my ride experience is any reflection the Japanese and Korean makes are in for a rude awakening!The West have taught the Chinese automotive industry about QC and they are as good as any we have in the West.
A wagon version would be awesome.
You must be European 🤭
@@larryc1616 worse…Australian
rumor says there's one in the works
Sam, I thought you learned your lesson about recommending cars based on advertised specs. You bragged on BYD forever until you bought one and sold it right away. Without driving one, who can say how good it is?
He knows, he's a traitor and a Chinese communist party shill
Extremely impressive as you say. I wonder about their global FSD readiness - I see they already have the uplink …
James Bond's Q is so jealous! Sandy get to work deconstructing the Zeekr 007! Spare no expense in securing this vehicle!
remember back in the 70s and 80s, American manufacturers said the Japanese cars would never sell
So awesome to finally see some compelling competition!
Zeekr 007's range numbers of 688km and 870km are in China's own CLTC (China Light-duty vehicle Test Cycle). Deduct 20% from the CLTC numbers to estimate what they will be in EU's WLTP test cycle. Deduct 30% from the CLTC numbers to estimate what they will be in USA's EPA test cycle.
Exactly.
At least a year ago I voted the Zeekr were fabulous cars and wanted it then, but yes it is a drop dead gorgeous looking machine to have in your garage… !
Looking forward to learning more.
Please slap a Volvo or Polestar label on it and bring to North America!!!👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
When this battery tech becomes available in the Volvo EX30 Cross Country I am going to buy one!
Never will
HAPPY 2024 to you and your family. Much health and happiness to all.
Surely that price will be doubled outside of China as is usually the case?
Atleast ... 100k i bet, if they sold it for 50k fully specced it would be game over
Sam, some quick fact checking confirms this car can go 541 miles on a 100 Kw pack compared to the 75 Kw @ 341 miles model 3. From my perspective, unless they have broken through some efficiency barrier with either the Motors or the air there is simply no way that car can go that range. A kilowatt is a kilowatt, there are no supercharged kilowatts. It is a specific unit of measure. Let's see if they can manufacture it.
hello Sam,
Now that we are in the 2024 year, do you think I would get the refreshed model 3 or the current Model 3 if I place my order today (i am in the US)? thanks Alot
Zeekr 007 is based on Geely's "Sustainable Experience Architecture" (SEA) platform. Unders this platform, cars shares common technologies such as battery, motors and the corresponding controlling systems. Examples of other cars under the SEA platform are Smart #1/#3, Polestar 4, Volvo EX30 and etc. Zeekr 007 uses Nvidia Orin-X as the AI chip for autonomous driving functions and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 for smart cockpit. It has LiDAR (certain models) which neither Tesla nor BYD is not using (for most of it's cars). At the backend, Geely employed some developers from Huawei to develop the autonomous driving for Zeekr. Now Zeekr has much better autonomous driving function than BYD. For example, it has automatic parking in confined garages. Apart, driving control of Geely/Lynk & Co is "traditionally" much better than BYD.
So what type of charge port does it use?
Gb/t or CCS2 ??
Zeekr 001 is sold with CCS2 charge port in my country. So is Zeekr X, but for 007 it's stated that only comes with GB/T. Is this true?
Credit where credit is due, this is the best battery technology the world has ever seen (if true). However Tesla has a monstrous lead on software and charging infrastructure, also safety (safest cars ever tested), etc. It ain’t just about batteries, we can’t forget that.
You don't understand. Zeeker is the only car now. Tesla is nothing. Safety, range, speed, AI, charging, and production. Zeeker. Sam said so.

We'll know it's real when they bring the platform to Europe under the Volvo and Polestar brands.
it's not twice to think, that they will not be selling your data and face trough these cameras.
@@anthonyc8499 I think you have a great idea there. I would make sense for the Volvo and Polestar dealers to sell the Zeekr EVs. The dealers might lose volvo sales BUT the increase in total EV sales would overcome the financial concerns.
welll....in China you can buy it now. its out and people test it, so its true!
We have all kinds of Chinese cars in the Philippines, ICE and BEVs one thing you will notice, the Japanese BEVs are MIA, as in "Non existent" and. BYD will be the next Toyota, that is the future of the Automotive world, Toyota can keep their Hydrogen Fool Cell car, try fueling that car of the future!
I would want Q to outfit it for me before I picked it up.
Thanks
Even with the 25% tax this car would be competitive in the USA. 428 mi of range is probably an exaggeration, it sounds like on the EPA cycle it would probably beat the long-range model 3, but priced at about the same as a standard range
Amazing Ev... ❤
When you buy a Tesla, you're not just buying the hardware(including charging), you are buying the whole infrastructure, including technological advancements with FSD and all other continual improvements.
+ phantom 👻 breaking.. and poor interior quality against Nio, Byd, Xpeng and Zeekr.
Yes Tesla has very good eco system. That’s why Tesla is still competitive in China. But FSD sucks compared with adas developed by huawei.
Very nice car! Great specs.
specs don't equal reliability
Thanks!
@@user-tg9yo2vo6uas with anything ... but i trust the chinese the most
when people consider buying a product in the cases, it’s bigger than just the car Tesla is more than a car sitting on the road. It’s also the ecosystem it’s the charging. It’s the navigation. It’s the systems that make it do what it does that need to be considered as part of the purchase basic things like over the air updates that not many other companies even seem to be contemplating at this stage.
Sam look into 2025 Lotus Emeya will cost over $100,000 and exceed $150,000 for the high-performance variant. With 905 horsepower and a top speed of 159 MPH, Emeya could be the most impressive EV ever crafted. Designed in the U.K. manufactured by Geely in China. If the Geely strategy is to get Volvo Polestar and Lotus designed in Europe for manufacturing in China, that is clever. This Geely car Zeekr 007, rebadged has a Lotus would sell and sell well in the U.K. particularly if they own the JPS Black and Gold branding.
Thanks for the good "oil" Sam. Let the Games begin. At last some real competition!
No FSD: this will stop being compelling competition as soon as robotaxis start.
If you don't want a Volvo, you get one of these.
The new S60 or S70... don't mentioned by Volvo yet.
EX30 is coming next year.. and it is next to its sister model delivered by these guys...
The range will be about 20% less based on EPA test cycle. China has a different mile measuring system that's very optimistic vs EPA. IE. The Model 3 is measured at almost 100 miles more range in China vs US/Europe. Still pretty good range even if you chop off the 20% but not mind blowing.
What's the range with full lights and air conditioner turned on?
This car sounds great!! However, will it be still be $29,000 outside of China? (It seems a lot of cars are twice the price, or more, by the time they make it to Europe or elsewhere.)
Liberal democracies apparently no longer believe in free markets and are resorting to massive protectionism under pretexts of "Forced Labor" and "National Security Threat".
Less. I expect it to be 100 million sales per year in 5 years. It is the only car to buy. Safest, fastest, best AI, longest range, fastest charging. Impossible to wreck and fireproof. For sale world wide for $19,999 each. Sam said so.
I have ordered this car, waiting for delivery 😊
What is most astounding to me is that whether it's BYD, Xpeng or Zeekr who are presenting their brand new model, all of them wear Michelin tires... the best French company in the automobile industry.
@4:12 75kwh LFP battery, 690 km/ 428 mile range - charges in 15 minutes completely.
hopium.
688 claimed CLTC kms, a base 60 kwh model 3 also has a claimed CLTC range of 606 km, CLTC numbers are way out of line with reality.
It will not sustain 300kw charging from 0-100% (which is what it needs to have a 15% complete charge)
All BS numbers - wait to see real world numbers first.
Claims of a car that is not yet produced is basically a stock pump . Until the car reaches production limits and sone realworld driving and charging its just a dream for now
Not sure where the chinesse chargibg network stands but fineing charging at this level is probably limited .
Insane. Almost sounds too good to be true. Waiting for some reviews on this.
If it sounds to good to be true
Then
Iit is likely to be to good to be true😀
Be interesting to see how it performs in real life
Sounds like it will have the CATL new high performance battery
Once CATL has these in volume production sure Tesla be keen to use the new batteries
too good, not to
I'll wait for Tesla having those batteries in there vehicle. Software is where I'm not sure about the Zeekr.
Does it use the same Lithium batteries which can catch fire during charging, when sitting idle, when very slightly damaged, etc?
seems the high capacity one was that whatever-whatever-cobalt one (lithium manganese ...cobalt, sorry don't remember the exact name) but the small "miracle" battery was LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) which are the ones that do not catch on fire
@@XAD566 read this article: "Chemical Hazards Associated with Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery in Homes"
Sounds cool, but I am not buying anything without FSD
Hey Sam, Zeeker is owned by Geely who just recently partnered up with NIO on battery swapping technology 4.0!!
Nah. There´s something fishy about this. I believe it when i see it. Also. How is the software? And does it have FSD?
I was wondering that. I’m thinking that “taxi light” thing on the roof might be a sort of LiDAR !
Chinese EVs do much better in autonomous driving than FSD of Tesla nowadays , as owner of NIO ES6, Zeekr 001 and Model Y
Will it have FSD like Tesla. Thanks to FSD I fell asleep on the freeway 5 times and my Tesla model 3 took over. At my age I am more about the technology that will keep me alive. I attribute falling asleep on the drugs used to fight cancer. It’s the total package of technology that most older people want.

@@michaelw3897 Just about every James Bond film sees James nearly get killed!! I haven’t seen the latest, but I sincerely hope you’re wrong!!
@@Madonsteamrailways The 2021 movie was ironically named No Time to Die. Sorry for the spoiler if you haven`t seen it yet.
Gonna be honest. Those prices remain a wet dream for the US & European markets. Based on the Zeekr1 and X and the BYD Han, which have been released in Europe, and all of which all had a hefty price hike of about 75% compared to the Chinese market, it will cost over 65.000€ in the EU, and will carry a similar price tag in the US. For that money it had damn better be much better than my Model 3 performance which had cost me 46.310€ (after a 4.500 government subsidy which this car WON'T get because it's over the price limit to qualify for subsidies).
Fast charging too often will dramatically shorten the life of the battery. Zeekr is giving the customer a sharper knife to kill the battery.
Pretty hard push for car that's never been delivered. posted first deliveries are today. we'll see....
The smiley is a refreshing change from the end-of-the-world-is-nigh cybertruck design.
And a kw/h will be £1 before the end of 2024 in the UK.
Might last 6 years which isn't too bad for anything but the planet.
The Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD overtakes Tesla after record deliveries in December. BYD sold 3.2 million cars in 2023. 1.6 million were pure electric cars. In the fourth quarter, BYD sold 526,409 electric cars after sales growth of as much as 70 per cent in December. BYD, which has Warren Buffett's investment company Berkshire Hathaway as one of its largest owners, has about 35 percent of the Chinese electric car market. BYD has done this faster than many thought possible. Now the rest of the industry has to accelerate to keep up.
The video you mentioned that you do have a link, is only two weeks ago.
Good to see that car WiTH that *Battery* is here and for sale. 😊
If I was to get an EV , I would still get a Tesla. 🧐
this video makes the common mistake of comparing something that exists to something that doesn't exist. In that the thing that doesn't exist, tends to have a huge advantage..
They'll double the price when they come to the UK.
Honestly how can you compare vaporware that hopes to arrive in 2 years with a highly successful, functioning model like the Tesla 3? The best features of the 3 (IMO) are the quality and robustness of design and the longevity (likely half a million miles (again, IMO). With respect, you haven’t got a clue about anything from how the motors are built to whether the battery thermal management is acceptable. I can see you covering this prospective car with enthusiasm and anticipation, but not claiming it “blows away” anything let alone a Tesla. Again, I’ve been following you for a long time now and mean no disrespect, but for all you know, at this point in time, maybe it just blows up.
Geely buying market share. Gotta beat that Model3. Some specs almost too good to be true. Bon Chance!
Everything is cheaper to make in China that's why.
Sounds to good to be true.
I will believe this car when I see it on the UK roads. For me it's too complicated! What will the spares back up be, especially if you crash it.
Looks a great car, and Chinese EV’s are getting better and better. Charging sounds great, but there’s always something new, something better, something faster, something that looks better, is smarter, better in every way. Sadly most of us don’t have an ability to change cars every year, I’m happy with the car I have, a Tesla Model 3 LR, August 2023 Shanghai built. When Volvo, Zeekr and BYD set up charging facilities in Oz that compete favourably with Tesla FastChargers that will be a real advance. But they can’t match Tesla charging yet.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Can you do one on the Huawei M9 and Xiaomi SU7 please
If they ever bring it to the US, it will cost 50k+
29000X1.25 (import tax)=37500.
Gorgeous 007, I'll still pick the Z 001 on my wishlist.. for a sporty sedan.. its between this 007 or the Byd Han.
