ZEEKR 001: IS THE 001 A TRUE COMPETITOR?

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr 001 is presented as a large, powerful, and stylish fastback, aiming to compete with premium European sedans. The reviewer highlights its impressive road presence, elegant design, and spacious interior, particularly praising the comfortable seating and the excellent Yamaha sound system. The car's performance is a standout feature, with ample power for effortless overtaking and high-speed cruising, complemented by a comfortable ride thanks to its air suspension. However, the review points out significant drawbacks, most notably the disastrous capacitive touch controls on the steering wheel, which are deemed unusable and a major flaw. The placement of climate controls within the touchscreen is also criticized for being cumbersome while driving. Despite these issues, the reviewer finds the overall driving experience pleasant, especially for long distances, and appreciates the car's capability and the quality of materials used. The practicality for city driving is questioned due to its size, and the reviewer suggests other Zeekr models might be more suitable as a primary vehicle for solo drivers.
