If we talk about the most popular car models in recent times, the Zeekr 007 must have a place. Less than 40 days after its launch, the order volume of the Zeekr 007 has exceeded 50,000 units. With a starting price of 209,900 yuan, the overall price-performance ratio is still very competitive. It is foreseeable that it will achieve good sales after its launch.
The editor recently conducted a comprehensive test drive experience on the Zeekr 007. It can be felt that it has balanced strengths in many aspects such as design, control, performance, and intelligence. It is not just as simple as powerful performance and control.
At first glance, you can see that its overall design is different from the family style of Zeekr and Lynk & Co., without nesting dolls. All the lights on the front of the car are integrated to form a horizontally penetrating light strip line. Coupled with the industry’s first ZEEKR STARGATE integrated penetrating light curtain, it is very cool when lit and has super high recognition.
What’s interesting about this light strip is that it can be adjusted on the car computer. It is highly playable and has light shows and interactive functions. You can also program the light language according to your personal preferences, which is very personalized.
The body posture is very low, coupled with the fastback design and 20-inch double five-spoke petal-shaped wheels, and the overall sporty feel is prominent. The doors are opened and closed by touch, and even the usual hidden door is canceled. It may take some time to get used to it.
The rear design is very simple, and the through-type taillights also echo the front face. The new car is positioned as a mid-size car, with a length, width, and height of 4865x1900x1450mm and a wheelbase of 2928mm, which is considered the first echelon in the same class.
Entering the car, you can find that the brand’s previous design style is still used, with a flat and simple center console, full LCD instrument panel, and center control screen, which can be selected to face the driver, center, or co-driver. There are almost no physical buttons in the whole car, except for some control buttons on the main driver and steering wheel, and all other functions are set on the center control screen.
Equipped with a 35.5-inch AR-HUD head-up display system, the overall imaging is very clear, the navigation information can be fully projected, and the brightness can be adaptively adjusted according to the light.
It is worth mentioning that the car computer is equipped with the latest 8295 chip, which has greatly improved the computing power and laid the foundation for the intelligence of the whole car. The addition of the Kr GPT AI large model has a good performance in voice interaction and supports gaze wake-up. It is convenient to use, but it cannot be triggered accurately every time and needs to be upgraded. In addition, the Dolby Atmos sound system developed by Zeekr in the car has good music effects and strong bass penetration, which is very friendly to friends who have high requirements for sound.
The performance of Zeekr 007 is also the most attractive part for consumers. The model we tested is the four-wheel drive intelligent driving version, equipped with front and rear dual motors with a maximum power of 475kW, and the official claimed zero-to-hundred acceleration is 3.5 seconds. When you drive this car, you can feel the endless power by stepping on the accelerator deeply. The response is very sensitive, and the linear acceleration does not feel too abrupt. It is completely sufficient for ordinary consumers, and even a little excessive. The top-end performance version has a zero-to-hundred acceleration of 2.84 seconds, which is a step up in performance. It can be said that there is no rival in the same class.
With the support of the front double wishbone and rear multi-link, the whole driving can feel very stable, the road bumps are filtered quite well, there is not too much roll when cornering, the support is good, and the low-lying body makes the handling fully up to standard. However, for me, its steering wheel is very heavy, which may make the flexibility of steering a little cumbersome.
Smart driving is also the main track that Zeekr is focusing on at this time. It provides two solutions: “LiDAR + vision fusion” and “pure vision”. Combined with the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin smart driving chip, it can realize APA automatic parking assistance, high-speed NZP high-speed autonomous navigation assistance, and other functions.
In actual use, it is not inferior to those mature intelligent driving, whether it is following the car, keeping, turning, or decelerating, it is very sophisticated. It can change lanes and overtake on the highway by itself, ensuring safety conditions and realizing rapid lane changes without dragging, and it can also automatically go on and off ramps, which is highly convenient overall.
The 800V platform is emphasized by more and more car companies nowadays, and Zeekr has made it standard for the entire series, lowering the threshold to the 200,000 level and performing excellently in charging speed.
In terms of car model selection, I think the rear-wheel drive version is completely sufficient for ordinary people. It still has a 0-100 acceleration time of 5 seconds. It has a lower price and a longer cruising range of up to 870 kilometers. You can then choose whether to have intelligent driving according to your own needs.
In conclusion:
Overall, it is clear that Zeekr 007 has an excellent performance in design, performance, and intelligence. It can also be seen that Zeekr has made outstanding achievements in intelligence, and intelligent driving has kept up with the current trend. It can fully meet all the current consumers’ imaginations of cars and is stronger than its competitors in all aspects. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hexagonal warrior.
