Zeekr is Geely’s most luxurious brand, and whenever we tried one of these cars, it wasn’t a disappointment – it was Experience a change of perspectiveIn reality. The latest addition to its European range is the 7GT, the most practical load-carrying version 007 sedanAnd it has a lot to offer.
He’s riding 800V platform Which supports up to 480 kW, making it the electric car with the highest charging power available in Europe and enabling it to go from 10 to 80% in just 13 minutes (for the smaller 75 kWh battery). The 100 kWh long-range battery requires an additional three minutes to reach 80%, but 16 minutes is still better than all other electric cars available on the continent. The manufacturer also notes that a 10-minute charge adds 211 miles (340 km) of additional range, regardless of battery pack.
With the most powerful dual motor, it can accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds; The single-engine variant is still very quick with a 5.3-second sprint. Top speed is 130 mph (210 km/h) for all models.
The manufacturer says it’s also great around corners thanks to “precise steering, balanced, predictable chassis and the confidence that comes from clear, intuitive feedback.” This press blurb calls it a “driver’s car,” but we’ll reserve judgment until we drive the 7GT in Europe. We’ve already done that He drove the Chinese-spec 007 GTIt is the same car, but the European version has been modified and improved further for sale on the continent.
Although it’s a Chinese car, it looks distinctly European, just like its crossover cousin. 7X. That’s because it was designed in Sweden specifically to appeal to European buyers, and it’s a great-looking car that doesn’t look as overdone as some other Chinese cars in the same class. It’s as elegant and simple as the real Europe, but it relies on a platform more advanced than anything the continent can produce, at least when it comes to shipping.
This is because they don’t have the longest range, even in the long range models, so they are not the most efficient. Remember He says a full charge can provide 406 miles (655 km) of WLTP range for the rear-wheel-drive 7GT model with a single engine. The base car with the 75-kilowatt-hour battery gets a slightly lower rating of 322 miles (519 km), while the all-wheel-drive model with the larger battery is rated at 346 miles (558 km) on a single charge.
