【EV Vision Original Test Drive】As the "top stream" of high-end electric vehicles in China, the first model of Extreme Kr ZEEKR 001 has received the attention of many consumers since its debut. The design of the hunting model, the adjustment of the chassis by the Lotus team, and the blessing of the vast platform can completely make ZEEKR 001 a blockbuster product.
Not long ago, Extreme Krypton announced the latest deliveries of ZEEKR 001, and in December 2021, ZEEKR 001 delivered a total of 3796 units, an increase of 88.7% month-on-month. Since its establishment in April last year, whether it is the construction of the ecosystem or the delivery of products, Extreme Kr has attracted strong attention from the industry and consumers with its "extreme krypton speed". "Extreme Kr Speed" also allows more users to experience the unique charm of trend technology.
This time, Xiaobian was fortunate to be invited to the beautiful coastal city of Xiamen, and in the two different car environments of the track and the road, there was a boring and not boring experience with ZEEKR 001. Why? Please read on.
Zero Hundred Acceleration 3.8s, ZEEKR 001 makes me feel "not bored"
(The models used in the track and Jinkana test drive are all ultra-long endurance dual motor YOU version models)
Why not boring, because we're going to drive the ZEEKR 001 off the track. In fact, new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles, will give you a feeling of "supercaring" when accelerating. But the quality of a car is not only based on his acceleration ability, but also on the overall handling strength. Since Kr dared to let us drive the ZEEKR 001 off the track, it showed that it had full confidence in the strength of its own products. Without further ado, I'll take you to see how the ZEEKR 001 track is performing.
The track we test drove was Xiamen International Circuit, the first standard circuit in Fujian Province and the first international circuit in Haixi. The track has 11 corners, a maximum height drop of 11m, and a maximum speed of 258km/h in straight lines, which is just right for the test drive of the ZEEKR 001 dual-motor model.
After turning on the sport mode, slowly drive away from the Pit room with the coach car, the first lap is led by the test driving instructor to familiarize yourself with the track, simply note the route, this is the temperature of the tire also came up, ready for the last two laps of "sprinkling joy". As the head coach leaves the team, the real experience begins.
After we experienced the test drive of the track, the staff of the manufacturer prepared a "surprise" for us. That's a small Kinkana that includes straight-line acceleration, fixed circle, and elk testing. This gives us a deeper understanding of the control of ZEEKR 001.
In the fixed circle environment, the front double wishbone independent suspension of the new car has good lateral stiffness, which performs well in terms of rolling all the time, and the tires have never broken the grip.
ZeeKR 001 shuttling through the city, easy to open makes people a little "boring"
It's nice to have fun on the track, but life still has to go back to normal, and the road is the scene where we use the most cars every day. The soaring adrenaline rush in the body was hard to let the delicious lunch be pressed down, and we began the road test drive mileage. In the road test drive, we chose a long-lasting single-motor WE version model. Why choose a single-motor version? Because the control and performance of the dual-motor version of the model is the upper limit of ZEEKR 001, we have already experienced it on the track, and the cost-effective single-motor long-endurance version of the model we also want to give you a taste to see how it looks.
Overall, the single-motor version of the model has a sporty attribute, but it is more of a comfortable experience in the process of daily driving. You don't have to worry too much about the vehicle, it's really good to drive to "boring".
Design Review: The perfect combination of sport, simplicity and luxury
In addition to performance and handling, the most attractive thing about zeekr 001 is the body shape, which is also one of the few pure electric hunting cars on the market today, which is full of beauty and practicality at the same time.
ZeeKR 001 is a luxury hunting coupe that adopts a new photoelectric mapping aesthetic design concept, inspired by neon light at night, interpreting a unique urban aesthetic of the future.
The doors of the ZEEKR 001 are fully automated, with a large opening angle at the front and rear doors, making it easy to get on and off the bus.
The interior design of the new car is very simple, and it pays great attention to the creation of a sense of luxury, and the materials used are NAPPA first layer leather, Alcantara splicing and turning fur, Microfiber microfiber velvet roof and other materials, and the visual effects, texture and touch are very good.
Editor's Summary: Through the day with ZEEKR 001, he gave me the feeling that intelligence, performance, and luxury are not a lot. We drove dual-motor and single-motor models to switch between the two use scenarios of the track and the city road, just like our wives, "up to the hall, down to the kitchen". Such a performance is not easy for a new energy vehicle with a price of about 300,000. ZeeKR 001 is looking forward to continuing the current good momentum.
