Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The Zeekr 001 95 kWh Dual Motor AWD utilizes a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain. The front axle is driven by an asynchronous motor producing 422 horsepower and 378 Nm (278.8 lb-ft) of torque, while the rear axle features a synchronous motor generating 503 horsepower and 535 Nm (394.6 lb-ft) of torque. Combined, these motors deliver a system output of 925 horsepower and 913 Nm (673.39 lb-ft) of torque. The 900V electrical architecture allows for rapid charging capabilities. The 95 kWh battery pack, utilizing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, is positioned under the floor, contributing to a low center of gravity and improved handling. The single-speed automatic transmission is inherent to the electric powertrain, providing seamless acceleration.
Driving Characteristics
The 925 hp output translates to blistering acceleration. The 0-60 mph sprint is achieved in approximately 2.9 seconds, and the car boasts a top speed of 280 km/h (173.98 mph). The dual-motor AWD system provides exceptional traction and stability, particularly in adverse weather conditions. The instant torque delivery characteristic of electric motors provides a responsive and engaging driving experience. Compared to lower-powered Zeekr 001 variants, this flagship model offers a significantly more potent and exhilarating performance profile. The sophisticated torque vectoring system further enhances handling by distributing power intelligently between the front and rear axles.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The 2025 Zeekr 001 95 kWh Dual Motor AWD comes standard with a comprehensive suite of features, including a large touchscreen infotainment system, a premium sound system, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, and a panoramic sunroof. Interior upholstery typically consists of high-quality leather or sustainable materials. Optional extras may include upgraded audio systems, ventilated and massaging seats, and a head-up display. The overall interior design emphasizes minimalism and technological sophistication.
Chassis & Braking
The Zeekr 001 features a double-wishbone front suspension and an independent multi-link rear suspension, both incorporating transverse stabilizers to minimize body roll. Ventilated disc brakes are employed on all four wheels, providing ample stopping power. The inclusion of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) further enhances braking performance and safety. The relatively low curb weight of 2470 kg (5445.42 lbs) contributes to agile handling. The suspension tuning is geared towards providing a balance between comfort and sporty responsiveness.
Market Reception & Comparison
The Zeekr 001 has been generally well-received by automotive critics, praised for its performance, range, and technology. The 925 hp variant, in particular, has garnered attention for its impressive acceleration and handling capabilities. Compared to other EVs in its class, such as the Tesla Model S Plaid and Porsche Taycan, the Zeekr 001 offers a compelling combination of performance, features, and value. While the CLTC range of 710 km (441.17 mi) is competitive, real-world range may vary depending on driving conditions and habits.
Legacy
As a relatively new model, the long-term reliability of the Zeekr 001 is still being established. However, Zeekr, backed by Geely, is committed to providing a robust warranty and service network. The 95 kWh battery pack and dual-motor powertrain are expected to offer good durability, but ongoing software updates and maintenance will be crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. In the used car market, the Zeekr 001 is likely to hold its value well, particularly the high-performance 925 hp variant, as demand for electric vehicles continues to grow.
