Zeekr 001 Review — Is It Worth Buying?
The Zeekr 001 is the premium performance EV from Geely’s Zeekr brand — a shooting-brake styled around long range and fast charging. It has become one of China’s most admired high-end EVs. Here is what to know before buying one new, used or imported.
Design and interior
The 001’s low estate-coupe shape is distinctive, and the cabin uses genuinely premium materials with a large central screen and strong fit and finish. It reads as a rival to European luxury EVs rather than a budget alternative.
Range and performance
Depending on battery, the 001 offers roughly 550–700 km (CLTC), and the performance variants deliver supercar-quick acceleration thanks to dual motors. Real-world range typically lands 15–20% below the CLTC figure, still competitive with premium rivals.
Pricing and what to check used
Export prices generally start around $50,000 and rise with battery and performance trims. On a used or imported 001, decode the VIN to confirm the exact battery and motor spec, then check accident and mileage history and ask for a battery state-of-health report.
