As a facelift model, the updated Zeekr 001 adopts exterior revisions while maintaining the overall fastback design. The front bumper now features a horizontal grille pattern and reshaped air ducts, while the rear bumper removes triangular reflectors for a cleaner look. The refreshed Zeekr 001 also introduces new body colours, Mysterious Purple and Star Grey, along with five returning options. Dimensions remain at 4977/1999/1545 mm, with a 3005 mm wheelbase.
Inside, the model adopts a refreshed dashboard layout with a 16-inch 3.5K central touchscreen, a 13.02-inch digital cluster, a 39.3-inch AR-HUD, and an 8-inch rear control display. A 256-colour ambient lighting system, a 29-speaker Zeekr Sound Max setup (4,680 W output), and a star-patterned panoramic roof are included. The seats now feature heating, ventilation, and 3D deep-tissue massage. The rear seats recline up to 125 degrees with power leg rests and footrests, while front seat massage points have increased from 10 to 20.
The new Zeekr 001 is built on a 900 V electrical architecture, replacing the previous 800 V system. Dual-motor versions deliver a combined 680 kW and 925 Nm, achieving 0–100 km/h in 2.83 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h. Equipped with a 103 kWh ternary-lithium battery, CLTC range reaches 810 km. The model supports up to 12C charging rates, enabling 10%–80% recharge in 7 minutes.
All versions feature a closed dual-chamber air suspension system with a maximum 206 mm ride height and 85 mm of adjustability, paired with CCD adaptive damping and the brand’s “Smart Magic Carpet” control system.
Driver assistance hardware has been upgraded to the H7 system, featuring a Thor-U chip with 700 TOPS processing power, 31 sensors including LiDAR, and “blue-light” status indicators. Zeekr says older 001 models with LiDAR may later be retrofitted to H7 via a crowdfunding-based upgrade program expected to begin in November.
Positioned in the premium electric liftback segment, the 2026 Zeekr 001 competes with models such as the Xpeng P7 and Xiaomi SU7.
