The Zeekr 007 GT is coming to Europe with a sleek design, impressive performance and a charge that's faster than your morning espresso. It can gain 500 km of range in just 15 minutes, meaning you'll be on the road sooner than you think. Will this Chinese electric shooting brake really shake up the market, where the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer rules? Let's find out.
Zeekr 007 GT, as it will be known in Europe (instead of the 007 GT – thanks, James Bond!), is a stylish electric station wagon with a clear mission: to combine attractive design, the latest technology and unrivaled charging capacity. Although SUVs are still the kings of the market, Europe has not forgotten its love for station wagons. And here the Zeekr 007 GT, with its dynamic roofline and sporty touch, puts the finishing touches.
Model Zeekr 007 GT It uses the Geely Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA) platform, which means it has an 800-volt system that allows for incredibly fast charging. Thanks to the 500-kilowatt DC charging power, you can charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 11 minutes – that’s faster than most electric cars today. With figures like these, it sets new benchmarks in the segment.
Design: eye-catching elegance
Zeekr 007 The GT exudes a modern minimalism similar to that of the Lucid Air. Clean lines, a floating roof that is optically separated by darkened C-pillars, and a sporty rear window give it a very dynamic appearance. Functional aerodynamic elements are also not neglected - from the subtle Gurney spoiler to the aerodynamic accessories at the rear.
Speaking of competitors, Zeekr 007 GT aims at Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer and Audi A6 E-Tron Avant, but with a much lower price and faster charging.
Technical data: numbers that impress
The Zeekr 007 GT offers impressive powertrains that satisfy both those looking for economy and those who want top-notch performance. The base model develops 416 hp (309 kW) and drives the rear wheels, while the more powerful version with two electric motors develops as much as 637 hp (474 kW) and it has four-wheel drive (AWD)This more powerful model also boasts impressive acceleration, with up to Accelerates to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds.
As for batteries, it has Zeekr 007 GT Two versions available. Basic battery with capacity 75.6 kWh offers a shorter range but allows for a lower starting price. Larger 100 kWh battery and provides incredible reach to 870 km on the Chinese CLTC cycle, which will likely be closer after more realistic European WLTP testing 620 kmWhat really sets the Zeekr 007 GT apart from the competition is its revolutionary charging technology. Thanks to 500 kW DC fast charging can charge the battery from 10 to 80 % in just 11 minutes, which allows 500 km range in just 15 minutes.
A special story is innovative Golden Battery, which is the first 800-volt LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery in the world, developed entirely by Geely. Compared to traditional LFP batteries, it has a higher energy density and better volume efficiency, meaning the Zeekr 007 GT offers more range without increasing the battery size.
Interior: futuristic and digital
Interior Zeekr 007 GT will reflect the same futuristic and technologically advanced design as its limousine sibling, the Zeekr 007. At the forefront is 17.03-inch central display, which dominates the dashboard and provides access to all vehicle functions. The driver has in front of him 8.8-inch digital display, which provides all the key driving information, while 15-inch head-up display projects data directly onto the windshield for an even more intuitive user experience.
Of course, it cannot be done without advanced artificial intelligence, which makes it possible Zeekr OS, designed for seamless operation of the infotainment system. This includes support for gesture and voice control, meaning the driver can control many functions without touching the screen. The Zeekr 007 GT also offers support for autonomous driving (L2+), which includes advanced assistance systems for greater safety and comfort on longer journeys.
Price and availability: what to expect?
The Zeekr 007 GT starts at $30,000 in the Chinese market, but we expect the price to be higher in Europe due to taxes and duties. Its smaller sibling, the Zeekr 001, costs around €60,000 in Germany, so the 007 GT could be priced somewhere in that range. from 65,000 euros onwards.
Final verdict: the fastest charging station wagon in the world?
Zeekr 007 GT is a truly special blend of electric efficiency, luxury and practicality. If you're looking for a car that's not an SUV, offers a ton of range, charges faster than any other model on the market and looks fantastic, then this might be the car for you.
Of course, it's still too early to make a final assessment until it hits European roads in the second quarter of 2025, but everything suggests that the Zeekr will give Volkswagen and Audi serious competition. Further proof that a new era of electric cars is coming, where the rules of the game are no longer set by traditional European manufacturers.
