The Zeekr 001, an electric shooting brake from the Chinese company Zeekr (Geely), lands in Spain with official prices. It arrives with up to 544 hp and 620 km of WLTP range, along with a very comprehensive standard equipment that includes bidirectional V2L charging. Distributed by Salvador Caetano Auto, the range is structured into four versions: Long Range RWD, Performance AWD, Privilege AWD, and Sport Edition AWD. It is positioned to compete directly with Tesla and the premium German brands.
Technology and performance: all-wheel drive, batteries, and bidirectional charging ⚡
Under its shooting brake bodywork, the Zeekr 001 hides an 800V platform that enables fast charging. The Long Range RWD version offers 272 hp and 620 km of range, while the AWD variants reach 544 hp with a range of up to 580 km. All-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension are part of the equipment in the higher trims. The V2L system allows using the car as a power source for external devices, a practical function for getaways or emergencies.

Zeekr arrives with a solid argument: a lot of car for less money than its German rivals. But beware, it's not all that simple. Salvador Caetano's after-sales service network will have to prove it can handle these speedsters as smoothly as a gasoline utility vehicle. Meanwhile, Tesla drivers are already eyeing this Chinese shooting brake, wondering if their next rival will come with a standard charger or a grin from ear to ear.
