- The updated Zeekr 007 and Zeekr 007 GT are scheduled to officially launch on April 10.
- They support up to 6C fast charging, capable of charging from 10% to 80% in about 10 minutes.
Geely's premium brand Zeekr started pre-sales of the updated Zeekr 007 and Zeekr 007 GT on Thursday, revamping two major models amid a significant rebound in sales.
The EV maker is offering a limited-time pre-sales perk for the updated models, allowing customers to pay 2,000 yuan ($290) to offset 7,000 yuan of the vehicle's purchase price.
The updated Zeekr 007 and Zeekr 007 GT, scheduled for an official launch on April 10, have been upgraded to a more advanced 900-volt high-voltage architecture to enhance vehicle performance.
They offer 75-kWh and 103-kWh battery pack options, featuring a range of up to 905 kilometers, making them among the longest-range EV models in the Chinese market.
Both updated models support super-fast charging with a maximum charging rate of 6C, capable of charging from 10% to 80% in about 10 minutes.
The new 007 offers single-motor and dual-motor options. The single-motor version is equipped with a motor boasting a maximum power of 370 kilowatts (kW), while the dual-motor version adds a front motor with a maximum power of 215 kW.
The revamped Zeekr 007 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.73 seconds.
These refreshed vehicles are also equipped with the more powerful Nvidia Drive Thor-U smart driving chip, marking a significant upgrade in driver-assist capabilities.
The currently available Zeekr 007 is built on an 800-volt high-voltage architecture, with starting prices ranging from 209,900 yuan to 299,900 yuan.
The starting price range for the Zeekr 007 GT is between 202,900 yuan and 232,900 yuan.
The pre-sales of these two facelifted models come as Zeekr saw a strong rebound in sales in March.
The Zeekr brand's sales reached 29,318 units in March, surging 90.11% year-on-year and rising 22.84% from February, according to data released on Wednesday.
This performance pushed Zeekr's cumulative deliveries in the first quarter of this year to 77,037 units, up 86% from the same period last year. The brand's cumulative global deliveries are currently approaching 720,000 units.
To further boost sales, in addition to the two models above, the company plans to launch an updated version of its flagship MPV model, the 009, in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, its second hybrid SUV model, the Zeekr 8X, started pre-sales last month with a starting price of 376,800 yuan and is expected to hit the market in the second quarter.
At next week's launch event, Zeekr will also introduce a Zeekr 001 5th anniversary edition, featuring upgrades in chassis handling and luxury configurations.
