Not long ago, the 2024 ZEEKR 001 was officially launched. The new car is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 intelligent chip, lidar, 800V high-voltage system and Yamaha audio system as standard. In addition, the price has been reduced compared with the old ZEEKR 001, which makes netizens call "Volume King" coming. So how to choose a new car? This issue of "Car Buying Guide" will answer for you.
The above manufacturer's guide price only represents the price on March 28, 2024, and is subject to change on the official website
The 2024 ZEEKR 001 will be available in four models, with prices ranging from CNY 269,000 to CNY 329,000. As a mid-term facelift model, the new car not only upgrades the interior and exterior design, but also comprehensively improves the three electrics, driving control, cockpit, intelligent driving and safety, and the product strength has been significantly improved.
1. Model description
In terms of appearance, the overall appearance of the 2024 ZEEKR 001 is on par with the ZEEKR 001 FR version. Among them, the front face is mainly adjusted for the area under the headlights, the shape area of the deflectors on both sides is larger, and the blackening treatment is carried out, the front surround shape is more aggressive, and the overall visual effect is more sporty. The shape of the split headlights has not changed much, and it is still highly recognizable.
The reflectors on both sides of the rear have been further enlarged and changed to a triangular shape. At the same time, the roof spoiler and wide rear bumper package enhance the aerodynamics and enhance the visual hierarchy of the rear.
In terms of wheels, the 2024 ZEEKR 001 offers 19-inch blade wheels, 21-inch arc phantom wheels, 21-inch dual-pointed star wheels, and 22-inch multi-spoke sports forged wheels. It's worth noting that, depending on the model, the front wheels can also be fitted with Brembo four-piston calipers or Brembo six-piston calipers, while the 22-inch multi-spoke forged wheels are only available on the top or sub-top models.
In terms of body color, the new car provides 6 solid color body bodies for consumers to choose from, and at the same time, all models can also choose the dual color matching of polar night black and other colors, which is full of personalization.
Inside, the design of the new model is largely the same as that of the current model, but with many upgrades. For example, the window buttons have been replaced with a paddle design, and the electronic door handle has been upgraded; the material of the floating central control screen has been upgraded from LCD to OLED, and the car machine is equipped with an 8295 intelligent cockpit chip, which has greatly improved the computing power; the passenger seat has been upgraded with lumbar support and massage functions, and with the 5D oscillator seat system, the seat can be simulated in multiple dimensions according to the smell of the movie, smoke, wind, rain, snow and other scene changes.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with an 800V high-voltage system as standard, and the thermal management system has also been upgraded to PTM2.0, with 9 heating modes and 13 cooling modes. In terms of parameters, the single-motor version has a total electric motor power of 310kW, and the dual-motor version has a total electric motor power of 580kW, and the fastest acceleration time from 0 to 100km/h is only 3.3 seconds. In terms of battery, the new car is available with a 95 kWh capacity Shenxing battery version and a 100 kWh Kirin battery version, with a CLTC pure electric range of 675 km, 705 km and 750 km respectively.
2. Highlights and recommendations of model configuration
The reason why the 2024 ZEEKR 001 is called the "King of Volumes" is mainly because the entry-level model is equipped with high-end configurations such as electric trunk, keyless entry (all cars), matrix headlights, front seat heating/ventilation/massage, second-row seat heating, Yamaha audio, and 360-degree panoramic image. At the same time, the CLTC pure electric range of the entry-level model is the longest in the whole series, at 750km, which can be described as the first choice for families. Of course, this is also the most recommended model.
3. Analysis of the difference in the configuration of recommended models
Judging from the configuration comparison, the 2024 ZEEKR 001 actually has two "entry-level" models, both priced at 269,000 yuan. The main differences between the two are the CLTC pure electric range, the number of drive motors, the type of battery, the drive mode, and some driving modes. For home use, it is obvious that the recommended model is more suitable, and the main advantage is that it has a longer range and says goodbye to range anxiety.
The higher-level models mainly add the ZEEKR magic carpet dual-chamber air suspension, the body height and suspension stiffness are adjusted in two dimensions, the millisecond response, the best damping is matched in real time, and the comfort is better. However, considering that the budget needs to increase by 30,000 yuan, it is not cost-effective for the vast majority of consumers, so it is not recommended.
All in all, if you are eyeing the 2024 Zeekr 001, then the WE version of the 100kWh rear-wheel drive deserves your priority.
