The Zeekr 001 enters the electric vehicle market in the UAE as a model outside the traditional mold, presented as a shooting brake EV that blends luxury, sporty character, and everyday practicality. This approach gives the car a strong presence on highways and city streets, making it an appealing option for those seeking a vehicle that reflects a modern lifestyle and keeps up with daily mobility needs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This presence is further reinforced by the brand’s reliance on an official local distributor, adding greater confidence to ownership and long term aftersales support.

A Distinct Design Identity That Fits the UAE Lifestyle

The Zeekr 001 reflects a design philosophy that combines boldness and luxury, with a clear visual presence that suits Gulf tastes looking for distinction on the road.

  • A shooting brake design with a flowing roofline and sleek contours that give the car a sporty yet practical character at the same time

  • An exterior look that blends the spirit of sporty wagons with a touch close to crossover styling

  • Intelligent LED headlights with adaptive lighting that enhance visibility and nighttime presence

  • Full width rear LED light strip that adds a strong and recognizable visual signature

  • Frameless doors with a soft close system that deliver a feel similar to luxury coupe models

  • A low drag coefficient that contributes to better cabin quietness and enhanced stability at highway speeds

A Smart Cabin and a Comfort Focused Experience for Everyday Use

The interior focuses on delivering a refined yet practical experience that suits daily use and long journeys across the UAE.

  • A large 15.4 inch central touchscreen with a modern, intuitive user interface

  • An 8.9 inch digital instrument cluster combined with a head up display

  • A rear touchscreen for passengers to control climate settings, enhancing rear seat comfort

  • Tri zone automatic climate control designed to suit hot Gulf weather

  • N95 air filter with an in cabin air quality monitoring system

  • Yamaha premium surround sound system delivering a rich, lifestyle oriented audio experience

  • Spacious cabin with a large cargo area reaching up to 2,144 liters with expanded loading

  • Generous interior space that makes the car suitable for families, trips, and large shopping needs without relying on a traditional SUV

Performance, Range, and Warranty… Key Figures Before Making a Decision

The Zeekr 001 relies on a powerful electric drivetrain that balances exciting performance with everyday usability.

  • Availability of rear wheel drive and all wheel drive versions to suit different usage preferences

  • 100 kWh battery supporting strong range and high performance

  • Warranty on the electric drivetrain and battery for 96 months or 160,000 km

  • Commitment to a minimum of 70% battery capacity retention under normal usage conditions

  • General vehicle warranty for 60 months or 120,000 km with a clear, scheduled maintenance plan

Price in the UAE

Pricing plays an important role when considering the Zeekr 001, and it sits within a range that makes it competitive in the luxury electric vehicle segment.

  • Announced starting price in the UAE market at AED 226,900

  • Price range that can reach up to around AED 250,000 for certain trims and specifications
