From now on, customers can place orders for these new models through various official channels, including the ZEEKR App, the ZEEKR official website, the ZEEKR mini-program, and ZEEKR stores across major cities in China. Nationwide deliveries for the 2025 ZEEKR 001 and ZEEKR 007 will commence on August 14.

2025 ZEEKR 001

The 2025 ZEEKR 001 maintains the striking design language from its predecessor  and is the first to feature the ZEEKR Active AI smart cockpit and the Haohan Smart Driving 2.0. Powered by the computing platform built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chips, the ZEEKR AI OS boasts enhanced command generalization and proactive service capabilities. The intelligent assistant Eva has been upgraded to the AI Eva, with natural language recognition also being enhanced, allowing over 100 generalized semantic inputs for each atomic command, and supports a nearly hands-free, full-scenario voice loop with over 150,000 generalized vehicle control commands. It can also learn users' habits over time, proactively providing reminders, recommendations, and executing commands.

With its LiDAR and dual OrinX smart driving chips, the 2025 ZEEKR 001 offers a fully upgraded system at the core and user experience levels through the Haohan Smart Driving 2.0. Additionally, the Mobileye's intelligent driving solution used by the ZEEKR 001 continues to evolve. The new City NZP (Navigation ZEEKR Pilot) commuter mode can remember up to 20 routes, each up to 100 kilometers long, and will be continuously updated to address various smart driving "breakpoints," such as internal roads in gated communities and parking lots, and toll booth entrances.

Looking ahead, ZEEKR plans to introduce the City NZP function based on HD mapless technology, with phased deliveries expected by the end of this year. The City NZP+ is slated for phased rollout in the second half of 2025, aiming for an all-scenario urban intelligent driving experience from parking space to parking space, regardless of the location or city. For highway driving, the Haohan Smart Driving 2.0's Highway NZP feature will cover highways and elevated roads nationwide, becoming available immediately upon delivery.

The Haohan Smart Driving 2.0 also offers significantly faster parking times, now as short as 23 seconds, with more comprehensive coverage of parking scenarios. The fingertip parking feature has been upgraded to remote fingertip parking. Moreover, the system's memory parking function enables automatic navigation to specific parking floors, with no restrictions on floor or parking space. By the end of 2024, the system will also support navigation to electric vehicle charging stations and elevator entrances.

2025 ZEEKR 007

The 2025 ZEEKR 007 debuts with the second-generation Golden Brick Battery and features LiDAR and dual OrinX smart driving chips as standard across all variants. Additionally, through software updates and model adaptations, the high-performance intelligent driving algorithm currently used in the four-wheel-drive performance version will power other versions of the ZEEKR 007. The existing ZEEKR 007 will also enjoy the performance improvement through a free OTA upgrade in August. Specifically, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the four-wheel-drive version has improved from 3.5 seconds to 3.4 seconds, and from 5.4 seconds to 5.0 seconds for the rear-wheel-drive one.

The second-generation Golden Brick Battery offers a maximum charging rate of 5.5C, allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 10.5 minutes, a 30% improvement in charging speed over the first generation, and a 37.5% improvement in discharge efficiency. The battery also incorporates eight major thermal safety protection technologies and vehicle-cloud integrated AI BMS (battery management system). Thanks to the second-generation Golden Brick Battery and the robust 800V ultra-fast charging network, the 2025 ZEEKR 007 can add 473 kilometers of range with just a 10-minute charge.

Furthermore, the 2025 ZEEKR 007 has also upgraded to the ZEEKR AI OS and the Haohan Smart Driving 2.0. In addition to the parking features shared with the ZEEKR 001, the new ZEEKR 007 also offers automated parking in mechanical parking spaces, supporting over 100 multi-level parking garages in 15 major cities. By the end of 2024, this capability will be available nationwide.
