Zeekr launches the electric 007 GT family car in China and confirms its future launch in Europe

Zeekr has begun selling its new 007 GT model in China, the family-car variant of the electric saloon the 007 we already knew. This new model joins the brand’s line-up alongside the Zeekr 001, the company’s first electric family car, although this one is a more affordable alternative. The 007 GT starts at 202,900 yuan in the Chinese market, which at the current exchange rate comes to roughly 24,400 euros.

Everything points, moreover, to the 007 GT soon arriving in the European market too, although here its name will probably be Zeekr 7 GT. These kinds of vehicles are highly sought after in Northern European countries, so selling them on the continent seems a must for the Chinese manufacturer.

Regarding its specifications, it is worth noting that the Zeekr 007 GT is practically identical in dimensions to the 007 saloon variant, with just one millimetre less in length and five millimetres less in height. This minimal difference is speculated to be due to slight modifications to the vehicle’s bumper or suspension. The wheelbase is likewise slightly shorter on the family variant at 2,925 mm, compared with the 2,928 mm of the saloon variant.

A version for every type of customer

The 007 GT is available in the Chinese market in three different configurations. Two of them are equipped with a single electric motor producing 310 kW of power and 440 Nm of torque on the rear axle, allowing them to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in just over five seconds. The all-wheel-drive version adds an additional 165 kW electric motor on the front axle, and in this case is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.

Additionally, with regard to the battery pack, the Chinese manufacturer offers two options. The smaller capacity pack, with 75 kWh, is lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and uses Zeekr’s Golden Battery technology. With this battery pack the estimated CLTC range is 650 km. There is also the option in the Chinese market of a version of the 007 GT equipped with a 100 kWh NMC battery pack from supplier CATL, with an estimated CLTC range of 825 km.

As with the 007 saloon, the 007 GT uses an 800V architecture platform that makes it possible to go from 10 to 80 percent state of charge in just over 10 minutes.
