2025 Zeekr 001: Specifications, Market Variants and Used-Buyer Guide
Scope: 2025 model-year or documented 2025 sale/production year; jurisdiction: EU. Specifications apply only to the explicitly named versions.
Where This 2025 Model Fits
The Zeekr 001 is a large electric shooting brake that combines a long, low roof profile with a tailgate rather than adopting the proportions of a conventional SUV. By 2025 the 001 was already offered in parts of Europe, notably Sweden and the Netherlands, so it belongs in a 2025 sale-year catalogue even though the European press specifications date from an earlier launch. This article describes the established Europe-market first-generation car. The very rapidly changing 2025 and later China-market hardware cannot be assumed identical to the European vehicle on which these claims are based.
Technical Differences That Matter
Zeekr's European documentation lists a rear-wheel-drive Long Range 001 with 200 kW and up to 620 km WLTP range, as well as a 400 kW all-wheel-drive Performance variant with a published WLTP figure around 590 km in the original release. The larger output is not a reason to infer greater range. Different wheel sets and trim names can change homologated figures; the local registration certificate takes priority when assessing an individual car. These are manufacturer values, not independently driven miles and not predictions for winter motorway usage.
| Market and version | Powertrain and drivetrain | Documented specifications |
|---|---|---|
| EU — Long Range RWD (European established version) | single electric motor; RWD; single-speed reduction drive | Power: 200 kW; Wlpt range: 620 km (manufacturer quoted WLTP) |
| EU — Performance AWD | dual electric motors; AWD; single-speed electric drive | Power: 400 kW; Wlpt range: 590 km (2023 European launch figure) |
Ownership and Inspection Priorities
The main attraction is a long load floor and sporting proportions rather than an elevated seating position. The low roof and long body should be checked against home garage dimensions, tight parking spaces and rear headroom requirements. Used examples merit a careful inspection of large wheels, tyres, charging equipment and any air-suspension hardware fitted to an upper grade. Confirm account transfer, language packs and map coverage; European-delivered cars may be easier to support locally than vehicles privately imported from China despite sharing a model badge.
Alternatives and Buying Verdict
Compare the Zeekr with a Polestar 4 or other electric fastbacks when styling and rear-seat accommodation are important, or with a Volvo EX90 or Kia EV9 only if SUV height is a decisive requirement. A buyer who values predictable ownership should enquire about nearby Zeekr workshop access, spare parts and transferability of local cover. The shooting-brake silhouette does not establish luggage practicality for every type of object. This guide deliberately excludes unverified 2025 China refresh specifications from its European variant table.
