Zeekr has launched the Zeekr 001 five-year anniversary edition, priced from 365,000 yuan (50,400 USD), introducing a factory-developed FR-Line performance package and chassis upgrades while retaining the existing dual-motor powertrain configuration.

Performance-focused upgrade

The five-year anniversary edition builds on the Zeekr 001 Ultra+ dual-motor variant, retaining its 680 kW output and 2.91-second acceleration capability. Top speed remains rated at 280 km/h.

The model continues to use a 103 kWh Qilin battery under a 900V electrical architecture, supporting high-rate 6C charging. Official data indicates a 10% to 80% charge in around 10 minutes. CLTC range is listed at 680 km, slightly lower than the standard Ultra+ version.

FR-Line package

A key differentiator is the introduction of the FR-Line performance package, visually aligned with the higher-performance Zeekr 001 FR.

Exterior changes include carbon-fibre mirror caps, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler, a dual-tone glacier silver and black body, and anniversary-specific red badges. The model also features 22-inch forged wheels, Pirelli P Zero tyres, and Brembo six-piston brake callipers.

Chassis and handling

The anniversary edition adds a KW coilover suspension system as standard equipment. The setup offers 16 levels of rebound adjustment, 12 of compression adjustment, and up to 35 mm of ride-height adjustment.

Zeekr states that the suspension system was co-developed with KW over three years, with calibration involving over 200 parameter adjustments using a 7-post rig. The updates aim to improve pitch control and steering response.

Interior and cockpit

Inside, the model features a black-and-red FR-Line theme, with suede-like seat materials and embroidered branding. The driver’s seat includes active side bolsters, and the steering wheel features dual rotary controls designed for performance driving.

The cockpit integrates a 39.3-inch AR-HUD, a 13.02-inch instrument cluster, a 16-inch central display, and an 8-inch rear control screen. The system runs on a Qualcomm 8295 chip with Zeekr AI OS.

A 29-speaker, 4680 W audio system is included, along with heated, ventilated, and massaging seats for both front and rear passengers.

Market positioning

The Zeekr 001 five-year anniversary edition functions as a factory-enhanced performance variant positioned below the limited-production Zeekr 001 FR, combining visual and chassis upgrades with an unchanged powertrain.

Within the Chinese EV market, it sits in the upper segment of high-performance electric shooting brakes, competing with models such as the Xiaomi SU7 Max and IM L6 Performance variants, while maintaining a focus on track-oriented hardware integration.
