Sean, great work as usual here. Geely is doing excellent work with ZEEKR, and this 009 is no different. That charging speed (560 kW is excellent) is solid as well. Solid product.
Most amazing thing about it is that 140 kwh battery single motor only weighs 15 kg more than 108 kwh single motor,that is called CATL genius battery manufacturing and engineering
To be honest I'd be happy with the base-line powertrain and battery. It puts out an INSANE 790hp, and a CLTC range of 700km. It's absolutely absurd value for money for 460k rmb!
780HP...madness. On a sidenote, BYD, Geely etc should hire you as a consultant to improve their car's user interface english translation for cars sold outside China. Those cars sold in Malaysia/Thailand...the english translation is atrocious. The people they hire LITERALLY use a google translate to translate word for word. You should understand Chinese language has many 'nuances' and a direct translation seldom work. For ethnic Chinese outside of China, like me they will LAUGH at the user interface.......quirky translation doesn't work - period.

"Establish an economic Moat and continue to improve it." (Warren Buffer, nd). It appears that Zeekr got the memo. Thanks for another informative episode.
That was not a China only car, it is a Cupra called TAVASCAN from Seat, as u know Seat is also VW. In China that car was sign by VW and made by all new VW Chinese company based in Anhui.
amazing price for this level of vehicle. unfortunately, americans have decided that minivan shaped cars are uncool so it wouldn't sell well here even if they were allowed to.
It is a great vehicle, but I can't understand why Zeekr developed such an obnoxious and hideous design, specially considering that their other cars are so great.
its the ugliest MPV from MPV lineups...its a shame it is being sold under the zeekr brand and it has nothing in common with the zeekr brand design...geely should scrap this design and design an MPV more in line with the zeekr designs.. the LDVC (i frogot the name) looks better... if someone will buy a MPV it will have to be the X9...
U G L Y - There is only one company with a very consistent and forward-looking design language in Chinese EVs, i.e., NIO. Whenever they decide to enter this segment, they will decimate the competition in this area. BYD is selling more, but their design language is very inconsistent.
The Chinese must have an entirely different concept of fine art than my 'western' eyes. The first failure is to accentuate the 'grill', that area devoted to cooling a combustion engine (due to it's dreadfully poor efficiency that requires so much energy to be pumped away from the vehicle). It's electric. No grill required. It's a a huge lump of a thing, drawn by a six-year-old, that looks as if it was made out of basic Lego bricks. Poor styling. Terrible aerodynamics by comparison to a streamlined design. I'm sure they'll sell some, but nowhere near as many as they could if it was designed properly, by an adult.
A few things. You are correct regarding a subjective view, i.e., your Western eyes. Moreover, I'm not sure that the "fine art" metaphor fits your alluded construct. Finally, I'm reasonably assured that Zeekr has conducted extensive research in this space. Given multiple high-profile participants within the MPV space, Zeekr's lightning-speed refresh, and historical consumer purchasing data, one might theorize that sales, margins, and profit within the Chinese market are the driving factors of the vehicle's form and function.
Bester UA-camr für chinesische Autos.
Richtig

It looks like the van from cyberpunk 2077.
All respect to the Chinese manufacturing - they are truly turning the tide!

Great review. I like the host, clear and insightful explanation.
Also he gives off Kai Wong vibes. :D
Yes, a little bit too nerdy...😂

black one is just posh, luv it
Can you make a review about the new china only vw id uniq pls?

@@Edward-pm6iu i know that, but i would love to see the differeces and the chinese view at this model
6:26这里然哥说错了吧，009单电机应该是FWD而不是RWD😸
Will you review the 4 seats Gloria edition?
Still missing rear wheel steering??
gorgeous
Been dreaming this could come to Canada!! or the denza D9
Canadian government says No Chyna
It will never come
I am falling in love with chinese cars and I can't wait to buy one. They are much better and cheaper than German car.

Can you make a review about the Roewe d5x(2024 MG HS phev)
*2025 MG HS phev
🎉
If design was normal, people would say it’s copy of a Land Rover, Dodge, etc. If it’s different it is ugly.
amazing
It is a great vehicle, but I can't understand why Zeekr developed such an obnoxious and hideous design, specially considering that their other cars are so great.
Deisgn is what makes the zeekr complete and different from any brands
It looks great in person (in my opinion).
That’s luxury business class looks like in Asia. We use full size SUV in US.
@@texassabre7214yeah and more spacious than your gigantic SUV 😂. And always gas guzzling 😂. And unreliable too

I love the grill, you see the Volvo version it is like missing something, this is unique, and this car is mpv so asking aerodynamic is senseless
It’s most likely designed by a westerner
按照你的说法，那么RR的新电车Spectre也符合你的论述，是一个彻头彻尾失败的设计，不知道你做何评论？如果你认为RR也是失败的，那么我同意你的观点，如果你觉得同样强化中网的设计在RR上是成功的在009上是失败的，那么我只能说幽默了

Ugly. Won’t sell.
