Overview
Zeekr 001 rear

The Zeekr 001 was originally previewed by the Lynk & Co Zero Concept revealed in 2020. The production 001 was presented on 16 April 2021.[3]

Its shooting brake design is similar to the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo and it features a similar front end to that of the Lynk & Co 05, also produced by Geely.

The 001, like the Lynk & Co Zero EV, is based on the Sustainable Experience Architecture platform specific to the electric models of the Geely group.[4]


Performance

The top of the trim variant of the 001 has electric motors on both the front and rear axle, putting out a combined output of 536 hp (400 kW; 543 PS) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque and can propel the 001 from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, speed max over 200 km/h (120 mph).[5] Zeekr is claiming that the 001 can run on a full charge for up to 700 km (435 mi), and its charging setup will give it 120 km (75 mi) worth of power in just five minutes of charging time.[6]

Sales

2,012 units were sold in more than 150 cities across China during the first full month of production in November 2021, with 199 additional units during October 2021. The company has stated its plan to ramp up production during 2022, continuing to prioritize local market customers ahead of a global roll-out in 2023. CEO of Zeekr, Andy An said “We revealed Zeekr to the world in April this year and in just eight months, we have developed the 001, started production at our state-of-the-art Intelligent Factory in Ningbo and delivered over 2000 of our luxury shooting brake coupes. This was an extremely ambitious challenge for Zeekr and I am truly proud of this startup’s progress in such record time.”[1]
