Today, a Weibo user shared spy photos of the new Zeekr car, which is codenamed CS1E. The vehicle is based on the PMA2+ platform and is expected to be officially launched in the second half of this year. The main competitors of this car are the Tesla Model 3, Xpeng P7, and other medium-sized electric vehicles.
Judging from the spy photos, the new car has a distinct sporty aesthetic. The overall design showcases a sleek and streamlined body with frameless doors. The LiDAR is not limited to the roof, but is also equipped on the left and right sides, bringing the total to three.
The blogger also stated that the EV will feature a semi-circular suspended instrument screen. The interior spy photos revealed the vehicle has a larger heads-up display area and a floating central control screen.
According to previous reports, ZEEKR CS1E reportedly has 800V high-voltage fast charging. The car is expected to be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 cockpit chip, which suggests advanced processing power and capabilities for the vehicle’s infotainment system. The car is also reported to feature ZEEKR’s self-developed assisted driving system, ensuring the presence of advanced driver-assistance features.
The former founder of Huawei’s autonomous driving team and the head of the autonomous driving R&D department (Chen Qi) joined ZEEKR in November 2021. Until now, Chen Qi has been responsible for ZEEKR’s research and development in intelligent driving technology.
