has gradually become a new track for competition among many car companies. In recent times, it can be said that there are many MPV products with great explosive points to be launched one after another. On November 1, the second new car under Zekr Auto, the Zekr 009, was officially launched. As the brand's first top pure electric luxury MPV model, its ratings in all aspects can be said to have reached the benchmark level. This new car has launched two model versions, with a guide price of 499,000 yuan and 588,000 yuan respectively, and will be officially launched in January 2023.
So for this new top MPV model, what highlights are it worth our attention? What are its advantages compared to competitors of the same level? Let’s talk about it today.
purely from the perspective of the price, compared with the recent release of new pure electric MPV products, such as Tengshi D9, Lantu Dreamer, etc., the Zekr 009 is obviously a little higher, but is it really expensive?
But when you understand the product strength of the new car, you may change because its comprehensive strength may exceed your imagination, and it can even be said to be the existence of the ceiling in all current MPV products.
first of all, it has its appearance, which is one of its controversial points. Zekr Automobile also raised a question at the beginning: Why are MPCs with a " Alpha face". According to the official statement, MPV products are mainly fuel vehicles, and with the support of the engine, the front grille is necessary, so this is inevitable.
, and the entire series only provides the pure electric version of Zekr 009, which can be said to have truly broken this category in terms of appearance design. Especially in terms of details, the fully enclosed mountain-wide combination of 154 LED light sources, combined with a straight waterfall-style silver chrome decorative panel, the popular split headlight group, the iconic LED daytime running light , etc., can still create a very impactful visual effect, and the recognition is still very high.
In addition, the A, B, C, and D columns of the new car are all smoked to create the feeling of a suspended roof. The design of the side sliding doors and the 20-inch super-large wheels can be said to be full of luxury.
So you will also find that the overall shape of Zekr 009 can be said to be very avant-garde, and even it is based on mainstream aesthetics, just like a product from the future. As for whether such a shape can be accepted by consumers, it still needs to be considered by the market.
Ultimate First Class is the real selling point of Zekr 009!
When you sit in the car, you will find that the luxury created can be said to be beyond your imagination. The interior layout of Zekr 009 actually has a family-like style with Zekr 001, and it is officially called the ripple driving control space. The overall design mainly adopts a simple style, and the front row also comes with electric suction doors standard.
However, space, seats, and comfort are the criteria for measuring the quality of an MPV. This is also one of the places where Zekr 009 is far away from other luxury MPV products. Thanks to the body size of 5209/2024/1856mm and wheelbase of 3205, the new car also has a 7.4 square square in-house area inside.
The new car also adopts a conventional 5-door 6-seat structure, while the 6 seats all adopt an ergonomic wrap-around design, and are equipped with full-grain leather fabric and a dream rebound sponge, so every seat on the Zeekr 009 can have excellent comfort.
, especially this Soft NAPPA full-grain head-layer leather material is expensive, 10% less modified than NAPPA leather, 133% more soft and comfortable, and it is more than 30%. It is not only more comfortable to touch, but also has significantly improved breathability and anti-wear and stain resistance, especially suitable for light colored interior accessories.
In addition, the second row of the Zekr 009 seats are 0.7m wide and the thickness of the seat cushion is 12cm. As the most important position of the whole vehicle, these two wide first-class seats can be said to be armed to the teeth, and basically all the configurations you can imagine are equipped with you.
. Due to the large seats, the middle aisle was simply cancelled on the Zekr 009. The third row of passengers got on and off the car and entered and exited from the back of the seat. In order to facilitate getting on and off, the second row of seats was equipped with 1.1m-long electric slide rails, which could free up a maximum of 67cm of car access.
As for the trunk, while ensuring that the 6 seats of the whole car have enough riding space, the new car still retains a capacity of 560L, which can accommodate 6 24-inch suitcases, and the third row also supports full flat/forward folding. At this time, the trunk volume can be expanded to 1295L.
As a top luxury MPV model, it is also armed to the teeth in terms of entertainment and intelligent configuration. For example, it is equipped with many screens in the car. For example, the top-end configuration provides a 15.6-inch large screen, equipped with 8155 chip, and integrates a variety of entertainment functions. It also innovatively provides a 3.4-inch touch screen on the electric side sliding doors on both sides, and can control the air conditioning, windows, sunshades, etc. in the car.
In addition, the new car is equipped with 6 Yamaha headrest speakers in the main driving position and the seats in the row, and can be linked to the other 14 Yamaha speakers in the car.
Driving safety has been taken seriously!
Security has always been the weakness of traditional MPV models. In this regard, the Zekr 009 can be said to have put in a lot of effort. The torsional stiffness of the new car reaches 36450N/deg, more than 3 times that of traditional MPV. In addition, the front of the new car also adopts a dual A-pillar design, and the parking space adopts an integrated die-cast aluminum body, etc., which greatly improves the collision safety of the new car.
In addition, Zeikr Automobile even provides multiple top-level hardware configurations, such as the whole car provides 2 7nm process Mobileye EyeQ5H high-performance chips, 7 8-megapixel high-definition cameras (highest range of sight 600m), 4 2-megapixel surround view cameras, 1 ultra-long-range mm wave radar (detection distance 250m), 12 short-range ultrasonic radar and other hardware.
Relying on these hardware, it also has a powerful intelligent driving assistance system, which can even realize autonomous up and down high-speed gateways, follow-up cruise, lane changes, free lane switching, etc. According to the official statement, this is also the only MPV in mass production in the world that can realize NZP autonomous pilot assisted driving. Of course, like the configuration mentioned above, it is standard for the entire series on the Zekr 009.
accelerates to 4 seconds of performance MPV!
First talk about battery life. This time, the Zekr 009 also provides two battery life versions. The first one is equipped with a 116kWh extreme cell battery pack version, and the CLTC battery life reaches 702km, becoming the world's first pure electric MPV with a battery life of more than 700km; the other version is equipped with a CTP 3.0 Kirin battery, and the CLTC range reaches 822km.
As for power, the entire Zekr 009 series is equipped with a high-energy permanent magnet synchronous electric drive system, and is equipped with air suspension, ccd electromagnetic shock absorption system, and four-wheel drive system. The peak high aluminum reaches 400kW, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 4.5s. This is very terrifying for an MPV model!
Summary
In fact, from the perspective of price alone, this time, Zeikr 009 can be said to have set a new record again. Many people even think that the new car is inflated, but combined with the product's performance, configuration and other aspects, it seems to be cost-effective! The Zekr 009 will also be aimed at many high-end users in the future. It will even become the biggest competitor of top luxury MPVs such as Toyota Alpha and Lexus LM. But I believe that the Zekr 009 will inevitably be favored by many powerful consumers with its superior product performance.
