This car’s suspension is highly praised in China market. Many owner said the driving experience is better than ET7. However autopilot part is far worse than NIO or Xpeng.
You are absolutely right, before the new ES6 came out, the Zeekr 001 was definitely the best EV I have ever driven, and I am a zeekr 001 and the old ES6 owner. In the Chinese market, the most comprehensive review is now the new ES6, followed by the xpeng, but I think the zeekr is also very worth buying, especially its suspension system. By the way, Teslas are so weak compared to these cars
I bought ZEEKR 001 in China over a year ago. I got the top spec trim with lifetime warranty, including the battery, as long as I remain the first owner. I am pretty happy with it. The EV driving experience is so pleasant and unique. I don't want to drive an ICE car ever again. I can fit an enduro MTB & gear inside the car with the rear seats inclined. Feel free to ask any questions!
The life time warranty was a fake thing. When you ask more it is a respectable 150,000 kms. Not lifetime! Even though the salesperson has been programmed to call it lifetime…. Sorry
We need more Zeekr reviews! :) First ones will be delivered in November already. Thanks in advance! By the way. You can change left side of you screen in the instrument cluster (above "comfort" mode notation) to show different consumption statistics. By the touchpads on the steering wheel.
just done an intensive study on Zeekr 001 and Polestar 4 this week from China local media and vendors: - 001 and 4 's 100kwh batteries are identical (581kg), as well as many other modules. - 001 has a super expensive 1000km range version with CATL Qilin 140kwh battery, but can only be equipped with RWD version without air sus nor 6 piston calipers - 4 is 20 cm shorter - 4 has longer sunroof which can surpass the head position of rear passengers - 001 is more Chines luxury preference and 4 is more Sweden - full trim 100kwh price 001 vs. 4 in China: 37:54
The price here in Sweden is very competitive, 4WD starts at 707,000SEK or 757,000SEK for the Premium package, seriously considering a change from my ID5 GTX, just a question of what price I can get for my trade-in.
I already had a reply from Zeekr to say that they are still working on an agreement with an inspection company to help value trade in cars, so at this time, they can't give me an offer. They told me to subscribe to their newsletter to be notified when they have an agreement in place.
If set speed swings a bit, that’s usually due to intervening a feature called Curve Speed Adaptation. It reduces speed a bit so passengers feel comfort at the curve. It’s really subjective. I myself like the g forces.

@@faithosadebe5293The 140 kWh Qilin pack is already out in China, and more than one has been range tested. The shortest range I could find was 810 km on a full charge. One car-tuber did a highway test at 120 kph and got 840 km before the car went into turtle mode. Another did a test on the Qinghai plateau (3000 meters above sea level) and got 923 km on a single charge (he ran it until it wouldn't move anymore), and 714 km of the 923 km was done on the highway there at 110 kph. That long range 001 with the Qilin pack is a range beast.
Bjorn, you can configure a custom mode with max power or regen, whatever you want. Comfort, Sports etc are factory preset modes. In fact, Comfort mode is quiet pleasant for urban driving. Who wants 0-100 in 3.9 secs inside a busy city? While max regen braking, watch out the distance from the car behind you!
I hate that tuning for "European" taste. They do not like what all wants. I definetly like more cars which are more on the comfort side. Ideal would be nice soft seat and soft ride with good sound insulation. I absolutely hate hard suspension in everyday car. It should be as relaxing and as quiet as possible.
I love stiff and hard suspensions cause it can make huge difference in highspeed dangerous situations. Special in germany when we drive 200kmh~ you dont want a boat if you need to quick react :D
@@kenion2166 More softly sprung suspension does not necessarily mean it will handle poorly, and making it very hard suspension doesn't mean it will handle better either. Suspension tuning is more nuanced than that and could even be considered part science and part art. The Mazda MX-5 for instance is notorious for having a softly sprung suspension and no one will ever accuse it of being a poor handling car. If you spend enough time and energy to carefully tune the suspension, you can make it both supple and handle well at the same time. That used to be BMW's secret sauce before they expanded their product lineup greatly and could/would no longer devote as much time to suspension tuning leading their current lineup with somewhat poorer suspension feel overall.

With a big battery you don't have to fill all the way to have decent range. Also, if you charge at home (and have a big battery) most people will rarely need to charge anywhere else.
@@MrKlawUK One Chinese car-tuber managed to get 840 km out of a single charge of the Zeekr 001 with the big Qilin pack, all while driving on the highway at 120 kph speeds.

Thanks for your impressions. Energy consumption is too high and blinker sound is disturbing. Very nice shape, but 10K more expensive than my EV6. I will stay with KIA.
both problems one can fixed with software updates. This could be a dream car after 2 years of updates. Volume control and different selectable sounds for blinker and better range, etc.
There is a mobile APP which can control several car functions. My favourite is to switch on climate control 10-min before getting into ZEEKR, if parked under the sun! I can also move the car in/out of a tight parking spot using the APP while I am standing outside the car. Quite coor. I plan to record a video with a dog 'driving' the 001 🤣🤣🤣
@@mikaelmartin9288 I'm sure a lot of the design and suspension tuning was done by their Volvo and Lotus engineers, but much of the underlying tech and core software of Geely's SEA platforms are likely developed back home in China, where after years of investment, EV battery/drivetrain/control software tech have become world class on their own right.
Geely even made a car that won the TCR racing ua-cam.com/video/lqplDGvm8n4/v-deo.html See, they have family design. And the petrol car they made is also very good. I own one when I was in China. But now I have to wait it to be available in Norway :-( . I think some of the design and test is in Gothenburg. If you like Chinese car, think it as a Chinese car, if not, think it as a Swedish car :-)
The electric Viking originally said this will be in the UK for $40k looks like it's going to be more like 60.. the EU and UK ripoff as usual... you can buy an ID3 apparently in China for $16,000 ... Bring on the competition.. new release cars normally launch at high price.. hopefully it will go down like Ora Cat .. at launch £500 a month in October now £190.
$40k should be the Zeekr X, a compact SUV that sells for $27k in China. This is the Zeekr 001, an old model that has been running for already a few years in China, with promising feed back. And its prices started at around 42k in China. Albeit if you can wait, I'd suggest wait for Zeekr to refresh the model 001 with the X facelit.
Also the Viking is spamming his channel with like 6 videos a day, rushing out every bit of editorialized rumor/news in the EV field that he can scrounge up. His channel is completely quantity over quality so I'd take everything take he puts out with a sizable grain of salt.
It looks amazing! However I am not sure I agree with your comments about the need for instant regen. I think you(like many others which come from Teslas) are biased about one pedal driving. I drive a BMW EV with ADAPTIVE REGEN which is amazing to drive with vs ONE PEDAL regen. I wonder if the Zeekr 001 has the adaptive regen also? I will have to test it for sure 🙂
I just bought a 2024 ZEEKR 001, waiting for it to be delivered. Can't wait!
Got it? Any truth to it being able to powershare 60kW DC charging to other EVs?
If the blinker sound is loud just put an bmw logo on the car and then you don t have to used it anymore

There is a mobile APP which can control several car functions. My favourite is to switch on climate control 10-min before getting into ZEEKR, if parked under the sun! I can also move the car in/out of a tight parking spot using the APP while I am standing outside the car. Quite coor. I plan to record a video with a dog 'driving' the 001 🤣🤣🤣
What was the name of the car with the little smiley face on the dashboard again?
Nio
@@bjornnyland thank you
I've never heard of these manufacturers. So many new companies!
Not really new. It's under Geely.
@@bjornnylandGeely itself is a fairly young companies though and they started building good cars after 2015.... But yeah they're damn good now
@@mikaelmartin9288 I'm sure a lot of the design and suspension tuning was done by their Volvo and Lotus engineers, but much of the underlying tech and core software of Geely's SEA platforms are likely developed back home in China, where after years of investment, EV battery/drivetrain/control software tech have become world class on their own right.
Geely even made a car that won the TCR racing ua-cam.com/video/lqplDGvm8n4/v-deo.html See, they have family design. And the petrol car they made is also very good. I own one when I was in China. But now I have to wait it to be available in Norway :-( . I think some of the design and test is in Gothenburg. If you like Chinese car, think it as a Chinese car, if not, think it as a Swedish car :-)
check for chineese Hiphi Z electric vechicle.

The electric Viking originally said this will be in the UK for $40k looks like it's going to be more like 60.. the EU and UK ripoff as usual... you can buy an ID3 apparently in China for $16,000 ... Bring on the competition.. new release cars normally launch at high price.. hopefully it will go down like Ora Cat .. at launch £500 a month in October now £190.
$40k should be the Zeekr X, a compact SUV that sells for $27k in China. This is the Zeekr 001, an old model that has been running for already a few years in China, with promising feed back. And its prices started at around 42k in China. Albeit if you can wait, I'd suggest wait for Zeekr to refresh the model 001 with the X facelit.
Also the Viking is spamming his channel with like 6 videos a day, rushing out every bit of editorialized rumor/news in the EV field that he can scrounge up. His channel is completely quantity over quality so I'd take everything take he puts out with a sizable grain of salt.
In China it is available with 140kwh battery
can you adjust the volume of the blinker in the settings?
No
maybe a software update could improve it - but not sure? It could be a built-in sound that software can't reach....
It looks amazing! However I am not sure I agree with your comments about the need for instant regen. I think you(like many others which come from Teslas) are biased about one pedal driving. I drive a BMW EV with ADAPTIVE REGEN which is amazing to drive with vs ONE PEDAL regen. I wonder if the Zeekr 001 has the adaptive regen also? I will have to test it for sure 🙂
95 % of the EVs I have tested has instant regen.
@@bjornnyland Porsche Taycan has adaptive regen as well 👍
It is also more effective than one pedal driving.
Who wants to buy this thing?
3,625,000pesos for the low range-529 km.
4,200,000pesos for the high range 676 km.
This guy is Mr Mumbles (Dustin Hoffman )from movie Dick Tracy 😅
If it becomes not optimal when the weather cold or hot 40.C like here for the E vehicles, which part of the world they will be efficient?
looks nice
Please bring this beauty to 🇨🇦 🍁
You will never see it in Canada.. Except they build there plan also receive P. O TO BUILD
Man that sound from the blinkers is really loude yaiks otherwise good video like always 👍
nice car, seems like the SW is tesla copyied but in a good way!
So apparently this car can powershare 60kW DC to other vehicles🤯! Any truth to this? Another reviewer mentioned it.
What about Crash Test Results, I can´t find anything yet.
These guys just yanked Tesla's user interface. My goodness!
