The basic four-door was priced at 229,900 yuan, which is equivalent to approximately 2.87 million rubles at the current exchange rate. At the same time, the first customers who made a deposit of 1,000 yuan (about 12.5 thousand rubles) were promised a discount, so the price could be reduced to 224,900 yuan (2.8 million rubles).

Zeekr 007 will be available in two modifications. The base one has one electric motor on the rear axle, it produces 422 hp: it is stated that such a sedan will reach the first “hundred” in 5.4 seconds. The all-wheel drive top version has an additional 224-horsepower electric motor at the front, the total output is 646 hp, and this version accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.84 seconds. The maximum speed is the same for both options – 210 km/h. But the manufacturer still hasn’t talked about the batteries, but the range is known: 688 km for simpler cars (according to the CLTC cycle) and 870 km for rich trim levels.

Recall that the Zeekr brand has already expanded beyond the home market, so the appearance of an electric sedan in other countries is only a matter of time. In Russia, the Geely sub-brand is not officially represented today, but large dealers have long organized “parallel” deliveries of premium electric trains.
