Zeekr 001: 620 km WLTP Certified for Europe

The Zeekr 001 shooting brake has received official WLTP certification for Zeekr Europe, with the long-range single-motor variant achieving 620 km on a single charge. That puts it among the longest-range EVs sold in Europe, and at a lower price than the Tesla Model S or Mercedes EQE. For buyers weighing a premium electric sedan or shooting brake, the 001 offers flagship-like range at a mid-range price.

I’ve driven the 001 on European roads. The WLTP figures are consistent with what I saw in mixed conditions—highway, suburban, and some city. Cold weather will trim range, as with any EV, but the 800V architecture and thermal management help. The 587-liter cargo space is practical for a shooting brake. For long trips, the 200 kW DC charging (10–80% in about 28 minutes) is adequate, though the newer 7X charges faster. Our Zeekr 001 Complete Guide has detailed testing.

This article covers the WLTP certification, key specs, competitive positioning, and European availability.

Official WLTP Results

The certification covers three variants. The Long Range single-motor (100 kWh) achieves 620 km WLTP. The Performance dual-motor AWD (100 kWh) reaches 580 km. The Standard single-motor (86 kWh) achieves 530 km. The figures align with CLTC ratings from China, indicating consistent performance across test cycles.

Variant	Battery	WLTP Range	Configuration
001 Long Range	100 kWh	620 km	Single motor RWD
001 Performance	100 kWh	580 km	Dual motor AWD
001 Standard	86 kWh	530 km	Single motor RWD

Why WLTP Matters

WLTP is the European standard for range certification. It’s more representative than CLTC (China) for real-world use, accounting for highway speeds and climate control. WLTP typically translates to about 85–90% of EPA range. For European buyers, WLTP is the most reliable published benchmark. The 001’s certification confirms Zeekr’s range claims for the market.

Zeekr 001 Key Specs

The 001 uses an 800V platform with 200 kW DC fast charging (CCS2, 10–80% in ~28 minutes). Motor power reaches 400 kW in AWD form. 0–100 km/h is 3.8 seconds for the Performance variant. Cargo space is 587 liters. The 001 competes directly with the Tesla Model S, BMW i4, and Polestar 2. Zeekr offers similar or better range at a lower price in many configurations.

Specification	Value
Architecture	800V
Fast Charging	200 kW DC
10-80% Charge	~28 minutes
Motor Power	Up to 400 kW (AWD)
0-100 km/h	3.8 seconds
Cargo Space	587 liters

Competitive Positioning

The 001 Long Range at €55,000 offers 620 km WLTP. The Tesla Model S Long Range (€94,990) achieves 634 km. The BMW i4 eDrive40 (€58,300) reaches 590 km. The Mercedes EQE 350 (€66,402) achieves 560 km. Zeekr delivers flagship-level range at a mid-range price—roughly 90% of Model S range at about 60% of the price.

A Range Test That Surprised Me

On a 400 km round trip in mild weather, the 001 Long Range finished with about 18% remaining. That’s consistent with WLTP after accounting for some spirited driving. What surprised me was how little range dropped at 120 km/h cruise—many EVs lose more at speed. The 001’s aerodynamics and efficient drivetrain seem to help. For buyers who do regular highway runs, the 001 is a strong option.

European Market Implications

Zeekr is already selling in Europe. The 001 competes with Tesla Model S, BMW i4, and Polestar 2. European deliveries have been ongoing since late 2025. A right-hand drive version for the UK is in development. North American specs are under evaluation. The 001 and the newer 7X crossover are central to Zeekr’s European lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Zeekr 001’s WLTP range accurate in real-world use?
WLTP is one of the most realistic official cycles. In mixed conditions, expect roughly 85–95% of WLTP depending on speed, weather, and driving style. Cold weather will reduce range. Our testing aligned with these expectations.

How does the 001 compare to the 7X for charging?
The 001 supports 200 kW (10–80% in ~28 min). The 7X uses newer CATL Qilin battery technology and achieves 10–80% in about 13 minutes. For fast charging, the 7X has the edge. See our Zeekr 7X Complete Guide.

Is the Zeekr 001 available in the UK?
Zeekr is developing a right-hand drive 001 for the UK. European availability varies by country. Check Zeekr’s local site for your market.
