Zeekr continues to prepare the ground for the debut in Italy after having already started with Europe. Zeekr 001 is arriving in the northern European markets, Zeekr 150,000 vehicles in China.
Brand of the Geely galaxy, within which Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar, Lotus and so on gravitate, Zeekr is demonstrating a responsiveness incredible response to changes, with continuously updated models thanks to the flexibility guaranteed by being a startup in full acceleration phase which, however, can count on a giant like Geely and on the technologies shared within the group, in this case the platform is the SEA platform.

HOW IS IT GOING? ROAD TEST 
The first drive of Zeekr more restrictive. For this it will be necessary wait longer forward to make a definitive discussion on consumption, whilst being aware that within the Geely group there are very efficient engines and batteries such as those of the recent Polestar 2 MY24 which has demonstrated excellent performance on the motorway.
Furthermore, since it is a preview that arrives well in advance of the release in Italy, and well in advance of the sale in Sweden and Holland, the car driven was a pre-production model , with two defects that I highlighted to the development team who then confirmed to me that they already had them. aware (and therefore of having solved them on the model that will actually go into production).
The first is that of a navigator to be made more responsive in positioning the car on the map, and here they are working via software, the second is that of a shock absorber setup that makes it excessively soft and which, therefore, translates into some "bounce" too much when we go over bumps or bumps.
So, having removed these small critical issues, and trusting that the brand will suit you to resolve given that he has shown great reactivity (and there are very few in the world who can do this), the first contact with Zeekr daily.
The steering enjoys ease extreme, follows the methods driving but it does not harden but the directionality of the front is always good, with a chassis that tracks well and makes it pleasant and not too prone to rolling. The reduced weight compared to the 001, then, makes it even more reactive in changes of direction, while aware that it is an ungenerous comparison because these are two cars of completely different categories.
Soundproofing is very good, but it will be necessary see how it will behave at speed above 100 km/h because the less smooth roads seem to let something more filter through; compared to what happens with the upper part of the car, where the aerodynamic noises are almost imperceptible.
Excellent comfort: the passenger compartment is spacious and bright, the seats are from the premium segment because they are soft but without give up support, and there is also ventilation for the driver's. The “massage” was rejected which is not such, but Zeekr does not advertise it in this way in fact: it is a vibration that can be useful on very long journeys to move things a little the muscles, but in daily driving it is almost annoying.
Ending with a first impression on consumption, Zeekr result of two guides both done in the preview testing phase. From some short resets in certain sections, however, you can already take as a little more reliable result of 19 kWh/100 km at speed constant of 100 kilometers per hour.
PRICES 
In Italy Zeekr still available, which is why talking about prices is premature. However, we can base ourselves on the Dutch market where the electric crossover is on pre-order, will arrive on sale in November and costs 44,990€
Here, like this as in Sweden (in Stockholm), customers will have access to a first point of sale which also manages test drives and acts as a Service Center for assistance. It won't be obviously the only one, this is the first officer, who is supported by the network of partners and service centers already existing, those not managed by Zeekr so to speak but trained by the brand and equipped with know-how and tools to perform assistance and support like the official ones.
In Europe, Zeekr 8 years or 200,000 km warranty on the battery, 5 years warranty (extendable to a total of 10) on the entire car, unified charging with Plugsurfing, possibility of wallbox installation, possibility financing (599 euros per month leasing for private individuals on the X) and "Connected" package with remote control and app store included as standard. Optional package that adds video streaming, games, browser, video conferences and travel planner.
