On December 23, Geely’s first batch of the Zeekr 007 mass-produced pure electric sedans officially rolled off the production line in China. Its presale started earlier at November’s Guangzhou Auto Show, with the price starting at 229,900 yuan (31,800 USD). Two versions, standard (CLTC 688 km) and ultra-long-range (CLTC 870 km), will be launched on December 27, and delivery will begin on January 1, 2024.
The appearance of the Zeekr 007 is based on the brand’s new Hidden Energy minimalist design language, offered in six exterior colors: dawn brown, clear sky blue, mist silver, misty gray, bright moon white, and polar night black. Positioned as a medium-sized sedan, its dimensions are 4880(4865)/1900/1450 mm with a 2928 mm wheelbase, and has a curb weight of 2150 kg.
The car comes with an advanced driving assistance system, equipped with lidar, 12 high-definition cameras, five millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and an NVIDIA Orin X chip.
The Zeekr 007 is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The two-wheel drive is powered by a rear 310 kW Silicon Carbide (SiC) motor and has a 5.4 second 0 – 100 km/h acceleration time. The four-wheel drive is powered by 165 kW front and 310 kW rear SiC motors, and has a 2.84 second 0 – 100 km/h acceleration time.
Furthermore, the entire series comes standard with an 800V high-voltage architecture and features Zeekr’s self-developed Golden Battery pack. Zeekr claims that its Golden Battery is the world’s fastest mass-produced lithium iron phosphate battery with a maximum charging power of 500 kW and a maximum charging rate of 4.5C, and a 15-minute charging time can replenish the battery life by more than 500 km.
Inside, the cockpit has a large 15-inch floating OLED central control screen, an LCD instrument panel, a 35.5-inch AR-HUD, and a two-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel. Below the central control screen are ambient lights. The center console features two wireless charging pads for mobile phones and a hidden storage compartment. At the same time, the cockpit is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip.
The interior mainly uses low-carbon and environmentally friendly renewable materials, including 100% recyclable fabric and water-based PU leather, according to Zeekr. In addition, the seats are wrapped in Nappa leather materials.
