This year you will get a super long range version. People put it on Xinjiang’s country road/urban road and drive it until battery dies. On average over 65miles per hour. That’s 890km on a single charge. Less power, no more four wheel drive. But probably the longest real life range in the market.

Your point about the infotainment system is true and trying to deal with different sets of laws around the world must make it difficult for all vehicle manufacturers. The one thing I think we can be sure about though is that Chinese manufacturers will learn what works well in different regions quickly and certainly have the resources to create what customers really like. The only question is whether they wish to make changes to achieve this? I think this is an important lesson for all vehicle manufacturers to learn. Promising updates to fix things that users find distracting, difficult or just irritating and then not producing them will make customers look elsewhere when they change their vehicle.

I have managed to have a very close up look with the Lotus Eletre and I see many design features from that to this. Just from my quick perspective they include the seat profiles, the inside door handles, where the shape and mechanism are straight from a Lotus Emira, the soft non animal furnishings and the outer door handles. and the reclining seats in the rear. Also the entire shape is similar. Geely are a huge company whose assets include Polestar, Volvo, Lotus, Smart, LEVC (London Taxi), Geely Auto, Geometry, Proton, Lync, and of course Zeekr. Although based in the UK I am a commercial auto photographer who travels to the far east for the purposes of final rendered images and I am well versed with some of these concept vehicles from CGI stage to physical result, also incorporating CGI elements into the final brochure images.

@tren133 Жыл бұрын
@@rs1019 They are talking about a Chinese market version and therefore most likely it is not relevant to European cars. As Thomas mentioned due to regulation/language differences the infotainment system is very different between the export version of the 001 compared to domestic Chinese version. Story in China was that they released the 001 and early customers were highly critical of the original infotainment the car launched with. It was both a software and hardware issue, as Zeekr promised to fit the car with the advanced Qualcomm 8155 but used a cheaper chip instead. So to fix it, not only did Geely rush out an updated infotainment software system, it also upgraded the physical chip in every customer car to 8155, for free. Afterwards the upgraded infotainment got very good reviews and the 001 started selling much better in the Chinese market.

25:40 My issues exactly with this reinstated trend to move every function to a tablet. It is too distracting even when the functions are permanent on the screen. As a driver, you need fast access to certain functions and they have to always react in the same way. Also, make the tablet retractable and keep a clean aesthetic: most of the time, you know where to go. You are not going to need navigation software on a daily basis. Put some knobs there for radio, volume, temperature and a mini screen for information. Props to Zeekr though for keeping the instrument panel and for its design.

You gave a great explanation about this car. A lot of people in comments keep calling Volvo, Polestar and in recent reviews of the Lotus Eletre "Chinese" simply because Geely owns these brands. But these are not Chinese designed and engineered cars. They are Swedish or English designed and engineered, in terms of where the headquarters are, and are quite European in feel and content. Zeekr is designed in Sweden and some of the interior bits were designed for the Chinese market. Now, there may be some platform sharing, although Volvo makes their own platforms for their large cars, and Lotus has heavily modified the platform, but even the platform was chiefly designed by a Swedish engineer (Kent Bovillan) for Geely. He now works for Geely. So, these are European bred cars in feel and content, only the financing is Chinese and perhaps some of the drivetrain and electronics and batteries. And that's not to put down Chinese cars because I think they're capable of making fine cars. But this is to set the record straight of all the nonsense I read about how these Euro brands are Chinese. I like this car but I'd rather get the similar Polestar 4 because it's a version of this car and I like Polestar's interior better. But that's just a matter of taste. They won't be tuned the same so they'll drive differently but they're similar in many ways. And, as you said, the software is different on Volvo and Polestar. The Lotus is more money and that looks like a fine car as well. So, Geely brands are good brands, engineered and designed in Europe and taking advantage of economy of scale. Win win IMO. Thanks for the review, it was excellent as always.

You're 100% correct, but the OEM's are the ones spreading the FUD because the Chinese owned vehicles are significantly undercutting the Germans in price while offering similar or better luxury features and performance.

I saw a report on the new Volvo EX30 that you want to say is a Swedish brand. That it's built 100% in China. They only made the design with Swedish people and the rest is Chinese. That doesn't make the product Swedish in my mind. Same with Zeekr. Before this car was released, there haven't been one single news/information shared in Sweden about Zeekr being a "Swedish" company, only because they have a office in Sweden and some Swedish people who work there. That doesn't make it a Swedish brand, that's why many reviews and news write about the Chinese brands that are coming to Europe. Volvo was Swedish, but for every model they produce and move out production and more and more of the original company to China, it's slowly losing it's "Swedish" brand, doesn't mather how much they still say it is Swedish, it's only for markering purpose. But that is only my opinion but I know many more who thinks the same. But otherwise it looks like a good car with good pricing, but it's not Swedish.

@@jakssdsfs In fact, Volvo is quite independent within the Geely Group, and the acquisition of Volvo agreed to many conditions back then. Zeekr is because Geely cannot safely intervene in Volvo's products. Geely Group does not believe that the performance and price of the EX30 are highly competitive, especially in the Chinese market, so it has separated Lynk Co's tram and named it Zeekr.

Another great review as usual Thomas! I think this is a very good looking EV with impressive build quality and features, especially for the money. I appreciate your explanation of the Zeekr brand, this is very helpful to know. It's good to see a number of EV manufacturers now producing saloon/sedan models rather than yet another huge SUV. I believe there is still a great deal of interest in this model type around the world, not just in Europe. The build quality looks to be on a par with the likes of Lexus and if that is the case it may do very well indeed. I'm not sure if Zeekr 001 is going to be coming to the UK but really hope it does.

Thanks for the review. It was really interesting to compare a European version to the Chinese one that we have a lot nowadays here in Russia. Nice change that they’ve made is a 22 kWt charging port compared to Chinese standard GBT 7 kWt. Also you haven’t mentioned or maybe I’ve missed that the panoramic roof can change its transparency as an option. And also the doors can open automatically and close by pressing the brake pedal. At the end - definitely a very good car with an fantastic price for money value.

The usability of the large LCD display appears to be poor. As Thomas pointed out some LCD based tasks require to much concentration to complete safely when driving. It is surprising that these sorts of user interface design deficiencies exist at this stage of the vehicle’s development. Applying usability design methodology would no doubt improve the driver’s satisfaction with LCDs operation. I suspect that this hasn’t been done. To be clear “usability” is not a late stage add-on. Factors such as cognitive load, task completion time and interface navigation can be tested and improved if needed. The earlier this done in the design process, the more likely usability flaws can be identified. Driver preferences can also to tested as part of the overall interface design. Thanks Thomas for a thoughtful review of this very appealing EV.

Many cars compete at that given length. When comparing similar length cars, interior space and luggage room become a critical factor, at least to me. Call it a shooting brake, but how far does it fall behind the Lucid Air 100% sedan? If the Air were designed by the same people to compete at a lower price point, I bet the packaging would have been just as good. No 670 hp motors, but 250 hp motors. Plenty strong and much cheaper to produce, carrying on to converters, wiring, cooling cell type opportunities to save. Low price is tempting, but you won't get the Porsche ownership experience, of course. At the budget, it looks nice for sure. The VW ID.7 which seems very average to me, won't be cheap.

I like the lighter interiors and the clean console. The only negative is the high floors typical in all EV to accommodate the batteries. Big screens are great when in use but can be distracting when not needed. Since the screen is so big, I just wish more manufactures would utilize that entire screen real estate for the backup camera view. My only negative is those seats with the integrated head rests. One more thing is that all cubbies and cup holders need to have covers. Otherwise, they collect lint and dust and look like mini trash bins. The cup holders just need that cap that presses down when in use.
