In an era where luxury electric cars dominate the headlines, the Zeekr 001 redefines the experience—not simply with plush leather or massive screens, but with a meticulous focus on sonic and thermal insulation. Driving the Zeekr 001 isn't just about moving from one place to another—it's about entering a new dimension of comfort, serenity, and modern digital luxury.

Zeekr 001 at a Glance: Innovating Electric Elegance

  • The Zeekr 001 is the first fully electric production vehicle from Geely’s Zeekr brand, globally renowned as the first high-volume electric “shooting brake”.​

  • It rides on a long 2,999 mm wheelbase with a 539-liter boot and a slippery drag coefficient of just 0.23 Cd.​

  • Debuted as the Lynk & Co Zero, it launched in China in 2021 and expanded to Europe by 2023.

  • The Saudi market enjoys three trims: Standard RWD (265,500 SAR), Premium AWD (282,750 SAR), and Flagship AWD (298,850 SAR), all with comprehensive warranties.​

Glass Insulation Technology—Comfort Starts With the Windows

  • Specially engineered multi-layer glass achieves over 82% heat insulation and 99.9% UV rejection—equivalent to SPF 50 sunblock.

  • This glass protects cabin temperatures, reduces A/C load in the Saudi heat, and protects against harmful rays.

  • Noise reduction is dramatic: road and wind noise are virtually eliminated, even as natural light pours in.

  • The low drag coefficient also slashes dynamic noise, ensuring the car remains serenely quiet at highway speeds.​

Cabin Crafting: Premium Materials, Total Calm

  • The interior is built around silence: Alcantara headliner, thick padded doors and floor, and double-glazed windows.

  • Frameless, soft-close doors ensure airtight seals and minimize vibrations, maximizing the sense of isolation.

  • The floor and ceiling are designed to absorb and minimize acoustic resonance from motors or road surfaces.

  • Result: a stunningly quiet lounge environment, whether crossing rough desert roads or flying over urban speed bumps.

Panoramic Glass Roof—Light Without the Heat

  • The expansive, 1.6-square-meter panoramic glass roof floods the interior with daylight without letting in the heat.

  • Layers of high-grade insulation ensure the cabin remains cool and comfortable, even in intense sunlight.

  • The curved design enhances aerodynamic flow, improving both quietness and air conditioning efficiency.

  • Passengers enjoy an open, airy atmosphere—with none of the glare or temperature discomfort common in lesser EVs.

“Island of Calm in the Urban Storm”

In a bustling city overwhelmed by noise, the Zeekr 001 driver closes the door—and the world fades away. The only sounds are a heartbeat and the gentle hum of music. In this sanctuary of glass and curved roof, true luxury isn’t seen... but felt in the deep, restorative silence.
