900 V, up to 810 km of range and 7-minute charging: the Zeekr 001 gets an upgrade and raises the bar further

The next evolution of the Zeekr 001 already has a date set. The Chinese brand has confirmed it is preparing an updated version of its family-oriented sedan, a model that has become one of its key offerings and holds a particularly significant position within its lineup.

This time, the manufacturer has chosen to announce its plans well in advance. This strategy allows fans to know ahead of time when the next update for the model will arrive, while the current version remains available in China with new customization options and various promotional deals.

The move comes at a time when Zeekr is rapidly expanding its international lineup. In Europe, the brand offers models such as the Zeekr 001, Zeekr X, Zeekr 7X, and the new Zeekr 7GT, while preparing to introduce larger models like the Zeekr 9X.

The Zeekr 001 will continue to stick to its formula

The Zeekr 001 2027 will arrive in the first quarter of 2027 and will retain one of the features that have given it the most distinct personality since its launch: its shooting brake body style. The brand does not seem willing to change a formula that has become one of its hallmarks and allows it to stand out from conventional electric sedans.

The exterior design will therefore follow the lines of the current model, although Zeekr anticipates a wider range and new customization options. No final dimensions have been announced yet, nor have any significant changes to the body style been shown, so it will be necessary to wait for a future presentation to find out if there are any aesthetic modifications.

The interior is where the new generation should focus much of its innovations. Zeekr mentions more comfort-oriented features, new customization options, and a wider range of versions, though it has not yet detailed which elements will come standard in each configuration. The current version already stands out for its particularly abundant equipment, including 3D seat massage and a sound system with 29 speakers and 4,680 watts of power.

The technological aspect should not fall behind either. The current Zeekr 001 uses a 900 V electric architecture, a solution that will also be retained in the 2027 model. This is especially significant because the brand is using this architecture as one of the pillars of its new generation of electric vehicles, allowing for very high charging performance.

Regarding propulsion, the final specifications for the Zeekr 001 2027 have not yet been disclosed. The current version comes in rear-wheel-drive configurations as well as dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions, with the overall power output reaching 925 HP. The brand has not confirmed yet whether these figures will remain unchanged or if there will be adjustments with the new version.

The final battery capacity, certified range, performance of each version, and charging times for the new model are also not yet known. Zeekr has so far only confirmed that it will retain the 900 V architecture, meaning all this information will have to wait until the official launch.

The current model also offers a substantial loading capacity, with a trunk space of up to 539 liters that can reach 2,144 liters when the seats are folded down. This is one of the features that allows the Zeekr 001 to operate in a different category from traditional sedans, combining performance with considerable practicality.

In Spain, the current Zeekr 001 is available in three versions: Privilege AWD, Performance AWD, and Long Range RWD, with prices starting at 58,490.00 euros. Therefore, it is expected that the new version will fall within this price range as well.

The early announcement of the new Zeekr 001 is particularly interesting because the brand is adopting an uncommon approach in the industry: announcing its upgrade plans well in advance. This allows buyers to decide whether they want to purchase the current model or wait a few months for the new version.

For now, Zeekr keeps most of the features of the 001 2027 under wraps. What is confirmed is that it will retain its distinctive body design, 900 V architecture, and a focus on comfort and customization. The rest, including battery capacity, range, power output, versions, and price, will be revealed later.
