The Zeekr 001 has been on the market for over a year and a half now. According to officials, the company has delivered more than 60,000 units. However, the company had previously revealed that the next-generation car will be released in the second quarter of next year.
This afternoon, spy photos of the next-generation ZEEKR 001 were revealed, and the appearance and new changes of this EV are easy to judge. The most significant change to this EV is its LiDAR. The new Zeekr 001 will have three lidars, which are located on the front and rear bumpers and on the top rear wing of the car.
There are also additional sensing elements, suspected to be millimeter wave radar, which is another major upgrade to its predecessor.
Previously, the patent for the Zeekr 001 LiDAR version was also revealed. If you look at the patent and spy photos together, you can see that the Zeekr 001 LiDAR version will feature a new LiDAR layout.
In addition, the air intakes on both sides of the front bumper and the air conditioning intakes are now triangular, a new sports front lip kit has been added under the front of the car, and side skirt kits have also been added to the sides of the body.
Zeekr previously revealed that their next-generation electric vehicles will be equipped with LiDAR and Kirin batteries from CATL. The new Zeekr 001 will have a range of more than 1000km and is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2023.
