Zeekr 001: range, price, specs and where it is sold
Facts checked
The Zeekr 001 is the first car the brand put on sale and the reason Zeekr exists as a separate marque. It is a five-door shooting brake — an estate roofline stretched over a low, coupé-like body — measuring just under five metres with a three-metre wheelbase, built on Geely's SEA electric architecture. It went on sale in China in October 2021 and became Zeekr's first export model when the brand entered Europe.
The model year launched on 11 October 2025 moved the car to a 900 V electrical architecture with two battery choices: a 95 kWh Zeekr Golden pack rated at 710 km CLTC and a 103 kWh CATL Qilin pack rated at 810 km CLTC. European cars are quoted 585 to 620 km on the WLTP cycle, which is measured differently and is not comparable with CLTC. Chinese all-wheel-drive versions are rated up to 680 kW; the European AWD car is rated 400 kW and the rear-drive car 200 kW.
European sales run through Sweden, the Netherlands and Norway, with German deliveries beginning in March 2026. Zeekr also sells the 001 in Mexico and the United Arab Emirates. Euro NCAP tested a Long Range RWD car in 2024 and awarded five stars, with 89% for adult occupant protection and 88% for child occupant protection. The car has never been sold in the United States.
