Blindness: What Zeekr Would Look Like Without Trendy Double-Decker Optics

The modern design trend for “two-story” headlights is actively supported by Chinese manufacturers, and one of the pioneers is Geely with its Lync&Co divisions and Zeekr. We decided to present models of the latter without the upper “floor” of the front optics.

The Zeekr company was founded in 2021 and specializes in electric vehicles, and its first model was a liftback with the appropriate name 001. By the way, the production version was preceded by a 2020 concept under the Lync&Co brand, from which the characteristic front design was borrowed. The main horizontal headlight blocks here are built into the bumper, between them there is something like a radiator grille, and on top there are LED running lights stretched along the front fenders, which also act as turn signals. Let us remind you that last fall they showed the most powerful Zeekr 001 FR, producing 1265 hp.

Another Zeekr model was made using a similar recipe — crossover X, demonstrated last spring. Only the headlights here are significantly more elongated, and the upper segment with LED lights has an unusual faceted shape.

The Zeekr 009 minivan, which was officially premiered in 2022, looks a little different. The main headlights here are also horizontal and built into the bumper, and the role of parking lights is performed by a pair of vertical strokes on each side, but due to the massive shape of the front end, this whole structure looks very unusual and futuristic even by the standards of the brand. By the way, this minivan has a twin from Volvo with a more familiar design.

A little later we will show how Zeekr models could look with more traditional headlights (we have previously done this with BMW and Hyundai models), but for now we suggest writing in the comments what other cars you would be interested in seeing in a modified form.
