I saw this car last week and it blew me away, I can guarantee that when you experience it for yourself, you can feel the material and you will be fascinated by it.
A compact suv that has nearly no shortcoming.The best choice if you want a luxurious suv but still fits narrow Eropean roads.
The interior is wild at that price point. So much value.
So many cool functions too. Ethan didn't even have time to mention that neat sunglass holder on the driver side roof, or those 5 touch shortcut buttons on the bottom of the steering wheel. This is perhaps one of the most innovative car interiors in years. Sadly Doug DeMuro doesn't have access to Chinese cars, because he would have to make an hour long video just go through every single quirk and feature.
Don't worry, dealers will correct the price to cover every single feature.
The interiors are great, but the overall perceived quality is superb. I also like the refreshing exterior, it's contemporary. Geely is really into something, they will prove unstoppable everywhere.
Yes, there was way to much to cover! Would also love to see Doug get his hands on something like this, he'd have a ball haha.
@@Wheelsboy I wish DD would use 'innovative', 'inventive', 'thoughtful design' or even 'interesting' ...instead of writing something off with the dismissive 'quirky'..who at times seems incapable of looking past the dubious charms of a Buick Grand National!.
Zeekr for Europe will initially come to Sweden and the Netherlands. Other European markets such as the UK should follow later on.
I think they will enter other countries sooner or later, and this type of car is very suitable for countries with narrow roads such as southern Europe and France
@@kito1692 I think Zeekr, as well as Polestar should expand across Europe.
MG too (not yet available in all European countries, currently missing in 9 European countries such as Switzerland, Romania, Poland or Finland).
And it's a sister car to the Volvo C30!
@@rikardnilsson2413 Not really. The Zeekr X and Volvo C30 are unrelated. It’s more shared with the Smart 1 / 3.
@@DaveDVideoMaker Sorry I meant the Volvo EX30 and yes they share the same platform and technology!
It has the premium feel from inside and out,the price is extremely competitive. the look is really unique👍
The sliding center screen is the most practical and versatile use of large tablet- like dash instrumentation, not a bunch of screens scattered across car interiors as an afterthought common in most cars these days.
This is pretty wild, price is incredible for the US. Interior is pretty amazing, exterior is fine / ok. I bet bringing Chinese EVs to the states would be a huge disruption to the market.
The president of the car factory better not have a daughter 😂😂
you can rest assured that no way in hell would that happen.
it would but the American people have a bad perspective on "Chinese made" anything, especially vehicles. ironic, considering the majority of the stuff we use everyday was manufactured in china.
America will not allow this to happen. Ya all stuck with Ford and GM
National security threat
Wow what a radically different car and at that price, if it makes it to the UK under £30,000 it will sell as fast as they can ship them over here ! Love it
you need to ad around 11% import fees and then the crazy Markup from the delaers. i would guess £35k for the 27k version
@@tonypaca3015 pity as then its up against the Tesla and a whole raft of other EV’s may not have all the fancy stuff but they get 300 miles and go from A to B. This really could be an ICE killer at the right price from the get go
@@stevenbarrett7648 so true
remember the Ora Cat? It`s around 12-20k in China, but look at that price in the UK..... :(((
The European car makers really need to lift their game. They can’t just enjoy their huge markup by ripping people off.
Zeekr X is the car I considering getting after I go back to China. I love hot hatches! I believe it will looks more beautiful with a lower springs
Or higher springs for Me.............Paul
with 18 cm ground clearance this can be called suv, for sure. that's higher than ford mach e, ioniq 5, model Y and glc 63.
This video pretty much tells us one thing, if I want those seats in a Porsche Cayenne, you gotta dish out as much money as an entire Zeekr X
Imagine you want the same functions in a Porsche...
Another great review Wheelsboy. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers (I know it's at 99.9k right now, but you're there).
My friend, a Maybach owner, says this is the perfect car for him as a daily commuter.
Because he feels no interior quality dropping at all when he walks out from the back of Maybach and enters the driving position of Zeekr X, while Tesla can't provide this feeling.
Tesla provides budget feelings.
My friend, a Model 3 owner, wanted to buy a second EV, so I told him to come check out my ID.4. He immediately bought one of his own, because, as he describes it, the ID.4 actually has an interior commensurate with a $45k USD car. He described his Model 3 as essentially having the interior quality of a Toyota Corolla LOL.
And it's not like the ID.4 has some crazy nice interior, it is only in comparison to Tesla. Meanwhile this Zeekr X's interior would blow any ID car interior out of the water.
@@tren133 The Corolla has better interior quality. And a much better ride quality. Teslas are great in some aspects but they need a lot of improvement. Becoming less popular might force them to improve.
I have a Model 3 and ID4. Kind regretted getting the ID4, wife likes it thou. Model 3 will be my highschooler's soon, I am getting a Y long range. In a perfect world, I would have either 2 Nios, or a Nio + BYD, or a Nio + Zeekr X, would consider HiPhi Y also.
It’s a shame and disgrace we do not have access to these cars in the US.
We'll get its sister car the Volvo EX30. Won't be anywhere near 30k though.
National security 😂
Don't worry America would sanction the sh*t out of all these Chinese cars, that it wouldnt even land on your shores.
Better don't 😅
But zeekr will IPO in the USA
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 on 100K subscribers, Ethan! Very well-deserved 🎉
The current Chinese ev market feels like the JDM scene in the 90
I'll definitely pay $60K for this in Canada without a problem.
It'll probably cost even a bit more than that. The Zeekr will never come to the US, and therefore it'll never come to Canada. But its more boring sister car Volvo EX30 should eventually make its way to North America. Given that the C40 electric already starts at $60k CAD, I can't imagine its eventual replacement the EX30 will be cheaper.
Crazy to think that in comparison, Chinese consumers can go pick up one of these Zeekr Xs for just 30k USD, right now!
@@tren133 Volvo and Geely cars will never be cheap.
@@bafattvahetere Volvo is a luxury brand, maybe on on Merc/BMW level, but certainly on the same level as Lincoln, Lexus, Genesis, etc. So why would Volvos ever be cheap? Geelys on the other hand are quite cheap, all the way down to the Panda Mini, which costs less than 10k USD.
Guess Geely is actually the owner of Volvo.
Greetings and congratulations for China and Chinese people.
You have made unprecedented miracles in the last few years.
You deserve all respect, success and prosperity. ❤️❤️❤️
I know Zeekr call it a premium ev but look at that price! This is without no doubt the best looking non premium ev in the market today and i wish one day it will come to Indonesia.
Indon pasti koid ,
I love those rimless mirrors
I was wondering since yesterday why your channel haven't posted anything, maybe busy with twitter?😄 Once I saw your thumbnail, I clicked as fast I could, it's worth it! Very nice car, for less than a Model 3 in China, is this too good to be true?🤔 The exterior feels like an updated exterior of a Model Y. The panel gaps on Chinese cars are getting tighter even at this price?!🤯
Very convincing. Would kill ID3/4 at that price in Europe.
ID3 price in china is €18,000 ,This car is €26,000. ID3 price in Europe is €40,000 .So Zeekr X price in Europe probably will not be cheap.
@@user-znick87 You bet.
You can dream
@@user-znick87 The sister brand, Link & Co, is selling its Link & Co 01 PHEV in Europe at 40,000EUR, that's 1.5x price in China. So Zeekr X would probably also sell at 40,000EUR. Definitely an ID3 killer at this price.
We will wait for this car in South Africa
Cant wait to see them in Germany 👀👍
Clever car , Nice design .
So this an ID3 compedator and man does it look good. Those interior features are nuts, although the small boot space might be a turn off for some buyers. I still have some concerns about something going wrong with the door unlocking and getting trapped out of your car.
As other cars with electricly operated doors there is a manual latch "hidden" inside the door bin, similar to a Tesla or the E-Mustang.
Thanks for the review of Zeekr X. Can see lots of design good ideas designers and engineers put into it. :)
Hope we can have a free market for EVs.
This EV would be great for everyone to transition to EVs.
Free.???..In the US,.hee haw...................Paul
Free market for EV? Wheels boy would be a big dealer in US, lol
@@nicholaswhite9760LOL😂
@@paulholterhaus7084
I was hoping for a free market.
@@nicholaswhite9760
I am hoping for a free market.
what a beautiful and practical car!
Spectacular car! Brilliant. You forgot the 001. Can you bring also that to this channel?
they did do a zeeker 001 in the test track but that is an older vehicle , should be due for a refresh soon.
We kind of missed the boat with the 001, so we will wait till the refresh that's coming soon.
Man of this was available in Europe I would not have bought a model Y...😢
What makes you think its better than tesla other than the look?
@@elon6784 it's not better in anyway, it's just that there are Tesla's everywhere and people like a car that's different. I would've only gotten a Mach e at the "correct price " which is ... 5k cheaper than a Model Y at a minimum
As an owner of Smart#1, my heart is broken after seeing this car came with such a competitive price.
You got a sunshade for the panoramic roof on the #1 but none on the X.
Mate in USA it would cost 45000$ a minimum.
Even if a "premium brand" Zeekr made a consumer friendly priced Car that's one thing most Chinese company do no matter what the product is. "premium with Chinese characteristics". i love it tbh 😂
Some "Chinese" cars aren't totally Chinese. The Great Wall cars, the Ora Cat and such are designed by an ex-Porsche designer. This Zeekr was designed in Sweden and a lot of development in Zeekr is in Sweden. The overall car looks to be designed for the Chinese and international market.
@@benjaminsmith2287 And they have Bosch controllers, Qualcomm or Nvidia CPUs, Michelin tires, Google operating system... There's no "totally Japanese" or "totally German" cars either in this regard. They are from Chinese maker and made in China, that's it.
It's ~50% more expensive than a similar-sized compact SUV, e.g. BYD Yuan. So not that "consumer friendly" in Chinese domestic market, really. Of course it worth the money.
This is needed in the US market but it'll probably be blocked by our corporation's greed.😢
hey,national security issue.
@@jiaowoaguo definitely
Take my money.
Happy 100K subscribers on UA-cam 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Silver play button just around the corner
I think this car is very innovative , but I still love 001 than zeekr X
Agree, but I can't get the 001into my garage, as it is 5 x 2 meter.
As a 001 owner I'd say Zeekr X is more focused on design. And its seat is way better than 001. 001 is mostly focused on the chasis, and not much to say about the design.
Looks good. Stylish vehicle. Not sure why Geely Group brands have so many similar cars. The Volvo EX30 will be a similar car as well. On another note, I don't think the Polestar 5 is underpinned by the SEA architecture. Volvo and Polestar tend to go with the SPA2 platform for their larger cars and from what I understand, Polestar is coming out with a different platform for the 5. The 4 uses the SEA architecture.
30 years ago, China didn’t even have paved roads. Now this. Amazing.
Man, I just love his expression every time he paused. So hilarious.
I won’t choose GV60 if zeekr enter US market.
Well to be fair those two aren't even close to being in the same size class in any case, but I agree that this seems like a fantastic car.
@@shroomyesc Well I can't agree that cuz these two have pretty much similar size and performance but with different fasion styles.

Absolutely Magnificent Podcast, Quite Informative, And A Masterpiece of a vehicle
If Lightyear will fail again with the 2, this is my second best option besides the bigger KG Mobility Torres EVX. I can't wait to see it here in Europe.
really nice channel, great videos and info😎👍
The interior is so nicely designed! You would thought this is French or Scandinavian!
Well, it's designed in Sweden.
It's Scandinavian in many respects.
So .. should you avoid it, consider it, shortlist it or just go ahead and buy it?
I'm leaning towards the last option.
that's correct.
Looks absolutely nuts. I love it. It’s so crazy and mad and ridiculous. Shut up and take my money!
Really liking this car. Looks good inside and out. Do you know if it is coming to the UK at all?
no it will endanger national security of united States.
No confirmation on whether or not they will sell it in the UK yet
Really like the adjustability of the seats and maybe the center screen. Exterior is not so great imo. Guessing the US will not allow this in as it would disrupt the whole ev market.
Very impressive design. Will seriously consider this car when I am in the market. The features are a lot and many seem to be practical.
Great SUV. We don't have it in America...
46.600 and 50.400 Euros is the official price in Sweden (converted currency). We and Holland are lucky enough to receive X and 001 this year.
just 20000eu in China
Chinese cars will dominate the entire car trade in Europe...
Bravo 🌍💎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Where is the zeekr 001 which was released in china before this one and which is much more beautiful?
If it come to Canada, i will buy one !
Almost at 100k subscribers! Congrats!!!
An astonishing car. I think I want one!
Please note this model is a Chinese version. the version intended for the European market does not have all these functions. I saw both
It’s weird that you haven’t review the smart #1 and now #3 even though it’s been out for a year now.
If we park so close to another car, does the door know when to stop opening to avoid hitting it?
That is one gorgeous looking car
UNDENIABLY impressive....could this be the Chinese equivalent of the 1964 Datsun Bluebird..or the1970 Citroen GS in the marketplace?
Much thought has gone into this..except, as you say it needs a Cuckoo rice cooker handle over the fridge.😁😅
Nah that would be the BYD Atto 3. Not nearly as interesting as the Zeekr X, but the Atto is already selling well in many international markets across the world.
stormtrooper inspired .May the 4th b with u.the force is strong in tis one.
what a lovely & crispy design!
damn if this officially sold in Malaysia I would buy it!
More competition never hurts
This car is like a concept car but already a production car! I wish geely will bring this to Philippines
does the NL version have all of these features?
We need these in Canada👍
It's meant to be a niche market product in China, namely the young middle class singles and DINKs. So the front two seats get the most attention, while leaving relatively little room at the back.
Correct! It's being old as a second car for a household, or a first car for a young person.
In the video the car doors are opened pushing a button on the Pillar. Is it correct? not fingerprint or tactile. I am concerned about opening the car from the outside in emergency cases (as no battery cases in fuel-engined type). Do you guys have some idea or additional information about this kind of working modes etc? thank you very much
I'm not sure what to think since I'm the last fan ever of EV's. But I will but this thing. Thank you for a great review
That fridge is interesting.. deff will be a + point for me deciding (which 1 2 buy) this or smart #3 when these brands coming to Malaysia!!😅 Now, I'll wait for ur great review on the smart #3!!😊
One of the best looking cars, Great design, get it over to England quick!
Hi, its me from the future. They didnt release it at anything near this pricepoint. Starting price in the Netherlands is 46000 euros which is over 50000 dollars....
I love this car
How about ground clearance, undercarriage protection and offroading caps?
Damn! OEMs are done! I Believe Tesla will have 3 main aspects that will make them stand out: Autonomy + Manufacturing + The Brand Power... other than that, they are definitely way ahead in all other aspects.
An American who knows about Renault Megane is quite amazing....😊
Really hoping this comes to Australia sooner rather than later! Either way it’s going to be hard to wait.
LOVE that confident front - very assured, but it does remind me of a Porsche every time I see it.
that interior is just 👌, it's beautiful (although with an inevitable all screen adjustment), it's very practical (most likely a Volvo input and resource) and yeah some might think, why do you need a removable center console or removable cup holder, first, they still manage to build it well and solid, and second, if the fridge happens to be broken or such, it will be so easy to remove, it can me consider user replaceable, it's the opposite of anti consumer that what a lot of manufacturer doing
Why nothing rear upper hand grip?
I think the only thing I really don't like is the Mustang Mach-E style doors... Please... Just put door handles on cars again. Other than that, I do like it and I agree with the sentiment at the start, finally a Zeekr that seems like a Zeekr! The first one really was just a lynk & co, even if this still has some of those design elements.
Nice vid as always!.
btw lately I think the sound is little bit too little.
Love this car
I’m loving this.
does have autopilot?
Wow I want one! 👍😀❤
Most of the time, we take out the parcel shelf and fold down the rear seats to load real bulky items, so the clever folding is really not very useful... Hope it can be removed totally....
Ok I'm sold
车轮哥真帅
Is the charging port horizontal 🤔
100k coming up!
I love the side profile and the rear but from the front I can't help think that those headlights make it look like a Pontiac Aztec 😅
Maybe your mind does need help if you even consider it resembles anything like you think it is.
@@changsangma1915 maybe... but that front end headlight design is definitely reminiscent of a Pontiac Aztec though a more modern interpretation.
We hope to get it in Australia in 2023
I'm confused on Zeekr model names : 009 is a huge 177 kWh Luxury MPV , 001 an Pure EV Panamera rival & now an X ? Btw , the Smart hashtag 1 is getting a Volvo sibling ...
it is coming to Europe
So driving wise, this should compare to the Volvo EX30? Sounds promising!
Great video! 👏👏 And, what type of asphalt do they use in China, which is always pristine? 😍😍😍
The interior is so futuristic, like a spaceship in 3023. Something about the headlights throw me off though. I would imagine this car blacked out would help. Great video!
