About this Vehicle

Zeekr 001 Performance AWD Overview

The Zeekr 001 Performance AWD is a premium electric shooting brake positioned as the enthusiast’s choice in the Zeekr 001 lineup, sitting above the Long Range RWD and below the ultra-lux FR halo model. With its long, low stance and wagon-like practicality, this Zeekr electric SUV alternative targets drivers who want supercar-grade acceleration without sacrificing family usability or long-distance comfort. It competes directly with fast EVs like the Tesla Model Y Performance and Kia EV6 GT while offering a more luxurious, European-style cabin.

Built on Geely’s dedicated SEA1 EV platform, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD blends cutting-edge EV specs with a distinctive design philosophy focused on aerodynamics (Cd 0.23), efficiency, and high-speed stability. Inside, it features a high-tech cockpit with a large central touchscreen, digital instruments, and advanced driver assistance, aiming to feel more like a luxury tourer than a traditional crossover. For buyers researching a detailed Zeekr 001 review, this variant matters because it delivers dual-motor performance, big-battery range, and 22 kW AC charging at a price that significantly undercuts German premium rivals.

In the broader electric vehicle landscape, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD shows how far Chinese-built EVs have moved upmarket, combining a 100 kWh battery, rapid DC charging, and sophisticated chassis tuning in one of the most compelling long-range performance EVs currently sold in Europe.
