The Zeekr 007, a Chinese sedan with a British secret agent name, aims to outshine the Tesla Model 3. Geely provides the resources for this.
Unveiled in November 2023, the Zeekr 007 is a mid-size sedan comparable to the Tesla Model 3 or BYD Seal. The perfect balance between dimensions, weight, price, and, most importantly, everyday needs.
Even though the sedan market is shrinking in favor of SUVs, manufacturers are not giving up. Asia remains tied to this architecture. Moreover, electric cars have the magical trait of rapidly amortizing their development costs: a new body design, the logo of another brand if needed, and off you go!
This is the entire strategy of the Chinese giant Geely, which shares its platforms across its different brands. Volvo, Smart, Zeekr, Lotus, and others benefit from these group synergies. As a result, new models are constantly rolling out. The Zeekr 007 was barely introduced when it is already on sale and soon to be delivered to its first customers.
It will offer a choice between two battery sizes: 75.6 kWh (which is already very good) and 100 kWh for a range in the Chinese mixed-cycle of 870 km. With the European WLTP test, you should expect more like 750 km theoretically and 600 km in real driving. Still a remarkable performance.
Two power levels are also available: front-wheel drive at 310 kW (415 hp) with both batteries, or all-wheel drive at 475 kW (636 hp). This will be more than enough for a holiday trip…
As part of the major European offensive, the Zeekr 007 is expected to arrive on our roads sometime in 2025.
