Strange that Zeekr think that we want a small boot opening instead of a hatch like Polestar 2; Maybe it is cheaper / stronger that way, or do people really want small boot openings?
The big hatch is one the advantages of the PS2 over the Model 3. Obviously, looking like a Scandinavian design muscle car, rather than a dead fish, is another one. Just my subjective opinion.
It has Emily GT from Trollhättan + some Lucid Air design. Which is fine. If I could get my hands on this at this price point in Europe, I would not hesitate to buy one.
Really love the design ❤❤ And actually a new car with some colors, yellow is awesome, and interior looks cool Hope to see it here in Europe Slovenia 😊 Another great video Elliot
It should also come in an estate/wagon/kombi version. Would really like to see a review of this version as I find the rear of this car ugly. An estate car would also be more popular in Europe, as we like practical cars.
I foresee EVs to become more “boring” as autonomous driving improves. People will be more interested in the interior for lounge like comfort instead of exterior and performance. Especially with the new generation that’s not keen on driving like we used to be.
While I'm sure that will be true of many family orientated vehicles, just look at the popularity of SUVs (Slow, Unwieldy, Vehicle), there is every reason that as batteries become lighter and the performance and efficiency of ever lighter motors improves, fun will definitely remIan available for those that want it. You only have to look at the aftermarket options today, to see there is definitely a market for those that enjoy driving.
What did you think about this car compared to the SU7 Max? It seems like most people are leaning towards the SU7 even though they are pretty similar speed on track or straight line.
Zeekr have been doing this for longer so I would not go for the Gen 1 Xiaomi. They still need to iron things out whereas Zeekr know what they are doing.
@@_MANASYt That sounds perfect. The Zeekers and Lynk Z10 you sit so high in the car your head is almost against the ceiling. I kept trying to lower the seat and it wouldn't go down enough.
Very interested in this! Currently driving a BYD E2 and looking to upgrade. Was originally thinking to get a BMW i3 Edrive 40L but now looking ar Zeekr 007 too. This performance version looks amazing! That acceleration would be addictive I'm sure.
Saab?!? Where did you get that from Eliot? The designers may be from Sweden but there are no similarities to the “Emilia”. The 007 will, whatever we think about it, will be a good platform car for other “coach builders” Lotus, Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes/Smart (and other Geely brands (too many)).
If there's one segment that hasn't been touched upon enough yet, it's the sub-1000kg EV, certainly there's a plethora of examples in China. **Writing to Santa** _I wish I wish Stellantis will pull its nose out of its own A-double-S and build a true and honest EV Citroën 2CV for the 21st century. Amen!_
good to see Zeekr has finally gotten rid of its Lynk&Co copycat headlights. while it's a nice design, it was so confusing and weird in terms of branding.
Never been a fan of light coloured seat belts. Seat belts are dirt and grease magnets, especially where kids are concerned - think jammy sandwich hands or ice cream. The colours (look) great, but (aren't) terribly practical. Having to regularly scrub them clean would grow old pretty quickly.
I think you are being a little hard on the EV experience. Yes there are a lot of family EVs that are good at the day to day without exciting the driver, but that was true of the average family car when everything was ICE powered. Its true that we haven't seen enough of the GTE, GTi, Abarth, Brabus kind of treatment as yet, but I'm sure as energy density of batteries helps EVs become lighter than their ICE equivalents and motors will continue to get lighter and more efficient, the option to have quick and enjoyable EVs will get easier and cheaper. Of cause we will also need designers and manufactures to be willing to spend time and money on the dynamics and feel of the car, which given how easy it is to distribute the weight in an EV should in time become vastly superior to any ICE powered car. PS Please, no more fake engine noises and pretend gearboxes.
I guarantee that if that makes it to Europe and the UK it will need a name change! Not a chance that the Broccoli family (who own everything 'James Bond') will allow that without a big payment from Zeeker.
You need to talk less in superlatives and more in actual useful information. ‘Unique armrest’? But WHY? And you’re praising the driving dynamics like ten times, without even saying ONCE what makes it so good! 😅
European car reviewers have overlooked one important point when evaluating Chinese cars. Most of them include on-board intelligent systems and automatic driving assistance systems, which are much ahead of European cars. Maybe because they don't know how to use the Chinese system.
What is the real reason why chinese EVs are do inexpensive? Is there any VAT, incentives to consumer/manufacturer etc? Have not heard a good explination yet ehy we pay 2-3x the price in Europe 🤔
@@ruiqianren9405 But would that not mean significantly negative margins on these viehcles in China? It is not like manufacturers are making 100% margins in europe
when you can source your component close to you and lower cost for components to reach your factory(good infra and good gov planning in section out industrial areas) with automated manufacturing that can work nonstop 24/7 without the need of large workforce, you can save quite alot on upkeep and making sure everything is as efficient as possible can really keep your cost low. and of course there's no union sucking up your cost@@anton_grahn
@@anton_grahn yes some manufacturers are not making profit in China domestic market, likely get merged by bigger firms like BYD or Geely or Chery perhaps. For the overseas market, basically every manufacturer are making money

Electric cars pre-Tesla didn't look ordinary enough. Now they look too ordinary? They're too much like appliances? Most ICEs are appliances. We need more yellow? I hope not.
I downvote this video bcuz you did miss alot off points that this car stands for like MILEAGE AND QUICK CHARGE!!! Other then that your review was very cliche
i sincerely think all sedans especially ev sedans should get a model s style hatch back. I had a model 3 and now the seal it's the only thing that bothers me from time to time.
Visually it's a mess. Those colour matched wheels look terrible. Otherwise, not sure why you're so enthusiastic about the design - there's bits of Lucid Air, EV6, Taycan and Lotus Emeya. Just fairly generic aero coupe shape.
I hope your British government will be as wise as it has been for the last 14 years and put 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs (like your older brothers from America did).
Presenting a car with the name "007", you really missed the opportunity to introduce yourself like: "My name is Richards, Elliot Richards"
Mr Bond is considered woke soyboy that likes men nowadays, so nothing aspirational in that movie character anymore
Strange that Zeekr think that we want a small boot opening instead of a hatch like Polestar 2; Maybe it is cheaper / stronger that way, or do people really want small boot openings?
More stationwagons I reckon. the new A6 wagon looks great.
There's a 007 Station Wagon on the way apparently.

Interesting polestar is dead in China, zero sales. You can buy 1year old polestar for 20k usd
Perhaps they feel that the 001 fills that spot?

Fantastic look, love it 💓💓💓
Was the weight even mentioned once in this video
Nice but why have the bucket seat with non adjustable headrests, it's a deal breaker for me, can't sit in one for 20 mins in terrible neck posture 😢
How would you compare to NIO ET5???
That's more expensive

The SU7 sits way too low... Not fun in the back seats...I drove both

Thx for the impression Eliott. How does the 007 compare to the 001?
Seriously? 0 shots of the full front dash or showing the handling with corresponding shots of the road, just 70% screen filled with your face talking.
Very interested in this! Currently driving a BYD E2 and looking to upgrade. Was originally thinking to get a BMW i3 Edrive 40L but now looking ar Zeekr 007 too. This performance version looks amazing! That acceleration would be addictive I'm sure.

I prefer the Chinese spec with the starlight lights at the front tbh… but still looks nice
Elliot, very good Argentine Patagonia cap ;-)

Beautiful car

If it was my money I would buy Zeekr 001 that wagon looks so good and better than Denza Z9 but sad it is not coming to Australia.

Saw this car in a showroom in China recently. It looks even better in person and the yellow paint really pops.
Definitely Saab 😊
Orange seatbelts on a yellow car???
I thought about that too
It's design is very close to a Lucid Air

Its not overlooked - its simply not interesting enough, and the audience does not engage with it as well.
I Dont think most of us in Europe like those gimmicks like the Chinese and their liking of car karaoke.
Zero zero or double O? 😎
Very Lucid Air looking. Especially the boot opening.
My money is on the Lynk & Co Z10.
Lucid Air?
Only 5 shooting angles the whole video. Including a close-up on the infotainment. 🤦♂️
Looks like Bruce Lee’s outfit!
Cant wait for the zeekr x7 or a 2nd gen upgraded zeekr X. I like compact suv's
only a few people like you seeking for excitement from EV car. Everyday drivers wants more on safety, affordable and battery range
I couldn't agree more. I want my ride to work or running errands as boring as possible
Zeekr 7X is good
What is the real reason why chinese EVs are do inexpensive?
Is there any VAT, incentives to consumer/manufacturer etc? Have not heard a good explination yet ehy we pay 2-3x the price in Europe 🤔
Basically price is based on each market, and consideration of how much the other cars sells for

I was also surprised by Elliot's enthusiasm for the design language. Perhaps it looks better in the flesh? It looks rather 'meh' in the video though.

Don't tell the chinese prices, useless for your audience
where's the homie stan?

Still generic and boring! A Tesla/BYD Seal/Xpeng/Nio etc, can hardly see any difference, some carbon fibre cladding doesn’t do much difference!
Boycott China
Only Japan makes high quality cars
Why would a yellow car have orange seat belts and orange accents? It's hideous. Chinese design language continues to not translate internationally.
Stolen design, that is a lucid air
Have you seen the EVs in china? Its not like the lucid air design is unique...
i think its better than lucid and lucid copies china design
A $30,000 one. I will take this over the lucid any day of the week 😂
Idk i dont like it 🙂↕️…
What a clown car
