Zeekr has filed for regulatory approval of a new variant of its 001 electric sedan with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The vehicle, manufactured by Zhejiang Geely Automobile, continues the design language of the existing 001 line while introducing updated performance specifications.

The vehicle is powered by a 370 kW electric motor, capable of reaching top speeds of up to 280 km/h. It utilizes a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system, with the curb weight listed between 2,350 kg and 2,420 kg depending on optional equipment. The model maintains dimensions typical of the series, with a wheelbase of 3,005 mm.

Consumer customization options include various exterior trims, aerodynamic elements such as rear spoilers, and performance-related choices like specialized braking systems. The vehicle also supports a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg. This filing aligns with Zeekr’s previously stated roadmap for the 2027 model year, which is scheduled for a formal market release in early 2027.
