With a starting price of 209,900, it will be the most painful blow to the joint venture medium-sized car
The guide price of the Passat 380TSI flagship version (top version) is 243,300 yuan, and the current terminal discount is about 40,000 yuan, the purchase tax is about 17,000 yuan, and the 0-100km/h acceleration ability is 7.4 seconds, and the pure electric mid-size sedan Zeekrypton 007 rear-wheel drive version (entry version) is priced at 209,900 yuan, the purchase tax is 0 yuan, and the 0-100km/h acceleration ability is 5.6 seconds. Moreover, the entry version of the latter is higher than the top version of the former, and the driving quality or mechanical quality is not inferior or even stronger, and it is still a pure electric vehicle with obvious advantages.
The launch of ZEEKR 007 means that China's new energy has officially begun to grab the job of joint venture medium-sized cars. Some people say that BYD Han has already started, Xiaobian believes that although BYD Han is large in size and cost-effective, it can not really convince the core potential users of joint venture medium-sized sedans in terms of chassis tuning and vehicle workmanship. Its best-selling online car-hailing will account for a part, and early adopters will also account for a part. The first car that can fully compete with the joint venture medium-sized sedan in terms of product power is ZEEKR 007.
On December 27, the pure electric mid-size sedan Zeekrypton 007 was launched, with a total of 5 models and a price of 209,900-299,900 yuan. ZEEKR 007 is based on the SEA vast architecture, the SEA vast architecture is jointly developed by Geely Group and Volvo, Volvo EX30 and Volvo EM90 are also used, chassis tuning and safety factor is its significant advantage, which is also a major killer feature for it to compete for joint venture medium-sized cars through the same price of oil and electricity. In addition, ZEEKR 007 also uses a double wishbone front suspension.
ZEEKR 007 adopts 800V architecture, equipped with self-developed gold brick lithium iron phosphate battery (the maximum charging power is 500kW, the maximum charging rate reaches 4.5C, and the battery life can be increased by more than 500 km in 15 minutes within the 10%~80% fast charging range, which is the fastest charging speed lithium iron phosphate battery in the world), equipped with the same silicon carbide rear motor as ZEEKR 001FR, the maximum range can reach 870km, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is as short as 2.84 seconds (dual-motor version), It is equipped with a Snapdragon 8295 chip and supports high-end intelligent driving assistance systems.
In terms of appearance, ZEEKR 007 adheres to the design attitude of "originality is justice" and does not do "stitching monsters". ZEEKR 007 was originally designed by the design master Stephen Sillaf, a new design language, whether it is proportion, shape or details are pure enough.
ZEEKR 007 has the world's largest 90-inch integrated smart light curtain, which is composed of 1,711 LED lamp beads and has a brightness of 10,000 nits. This smart light curtain is independently controlled by 75 automotive-grade high-power chips, making ZEEKR 007 the world's first intelligent electric vehicle with a thousand faces. ZEEKR 007 presets 27 kinds of light language effects for users, and 11 kinds of intelligent expressions, which can be freely changed with different scenes. Through the "Magic Brush Canvas" function, users can customize and "draw" their creativity on the light screen to display it to the outside, so that communication can move from inside the car to outside the car. In the future, users can deeply participate in co-creation, and ZEEKR will solicit excellent ideas from users and push them to all ZEEKR 007 users through OTA.
In terms of interior space, ZEEKR 007 makes full use of the space occupied by the powertrain of traditional fuel vehicles, allowing the mid-level sedan to have an executive-level space experience. The interior of the cockpit is equipped with NAPPA full-grain first-layer leather seats made of the same material as the ZEEKR 009, and it is also equipped with 14-way electric adjustment of the front seats + electric adjustment of the rear seat backrest.
In terms of intelligent technology, ZEEKR 007 was first equipped with two latest scientific and technological achievements in the field of ZEEKR intelligence: ZEEKR 007 OS 6.0 system and "Vast Intelligent Driving" intelligent driving system.
ZEEKR 007 is the world's first "vast intelligent driving" intelligent driving system, starting from the actual scene, covering all scenarios of intelligent parking, high-speed and urban intelligent driving, and solving the most difficult, practical, and user-most needs to solve the pain points. Based on the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin intelligent driving chip that is standard in the whole system, with a computing power of up to 508 TOPS, ZEEKR 007 provides two sets of hardware solutions: "LiDAR + Visual Fusion" and "Pure Vision", with the number of perception hardware up to 31, the top perception hardware, bringing users an intelligent driving experience.
In view of the most difficult and highest-frequency parking scenarios in actual use, ZEEKR 007 has specially developed a fingertip parking function, allowing users to easily cope with the most complex and common non-standard parking spaces in their lives, and remotely control the parking space. ZEEKR 007 also demonstrated the most difficult ultra-narrow mechanical three-dimensional parking space automatic parking, intelligent parking performance far exceeds the same level of competitors, this function is already being tested, and public testing will be opened in March 2024.
The high-speed NZP function equipped with ZEEKR 007 will be launched immediately after delivery, which can be used nationwide, supporting more than 20 ramp types across the country, and the ramp pass rate is the highest in the industry at 98.9%, and the success rate of lane change is close to 98%, making the traffic more efficient and safer.
ZEEKR 007's LCC+ enhanced version of the lane centering assistance function has been upgraded, which has been strengthened for complex intersections and large curvature curves, which are the two scenarios with the highest frequency of manual takeover. Actual tests show that LCC+ can pass through a large intersection with 8 lanes in both directions, and can also intelligently control the speed of vehicles according to the flow of people and vehicles, without taking over the whole process. In the future, through OTA, it can also realize intelligent recognition of traffic lights, active reminders, and intelligent start and stop. LCC+ can also help ZEEKR 007 successfully pass through curves with greater curvature, and all interchange ramps in the city can basically pass without a turnover.
The NZP of the city will also start public beta in June 2024, and the commuting mode will be the first batch of features to open the public beta, which will be opened one after another according to the user coverage rate. The urban NZP commuting mode can realize the smooth passage of electric vehicles in complex scenarios such as wrong-way avoidance, pedestrian avoidance, misalignment intersections, and unprotected left turns, without taking over.
Write at the end
The ZEEKR 007, which is sold from 209,900 yuan, will undoubtedly be the most painful blow to the joint venture medium-sized car.
In addition to the Extreme Krypton 007, the Xingtu Star Era ES with equally strong product power has also been listed (but the pricing threshold is higher, it does not compete with the joint venture medium-sized car, it is a pity, it is a pricing error), Xiaomi SU7 will be launched in the first half of 2024, and perhaps soon usher in Lynk & Co 07, these models are very high-quality.
2024 will be the year of vigorous development of China's new energy 200,000-yuan car.
