ZEEKR's 001 shooting brake has always punched above its price, but the new Anniversary Edition pushes it into genuine hypercar-baiting territory. A dual-motor AWD powertrain makes 680 kW (912 hp), enough for a 2.91-second 0-100 km/h sprint and a 280 km/h top speed — figures that would embarrass cars costing three times as much. A 103 kWh Qilin battery backs that up with 680 km of CLTC range and 12C charging that takes the pack from 10-80% in about 7 minutes. Official pricing is $50,400 (365,000 CNY), wrapped in anniversary-specific styling: carbon-fiber trim, red badging, and a two-tone paint scheme on top of the standard 001's already-striking shooting-brake silhouette.
Performance & Specs
The Anniversary Edition pairs two motors for a combined 680 kW (912 hp) and roughly 925 Nm of torque, launching the shooting brake from 0-100 km/h in 2.91 seconds on to a 280 km/h top speed. A window sticker on the actual showroom car lists an even quicker 2.83 seconds — the two figures are close enough to reflect normal rounding between press materials and point-of-sale signage, but either way this is supercar-adjacent acceleration in a five-door family hauler. Power comes from a 103 kWh Qilin (CATL) battery supporting 12C charging, and the car rides on 22-inch forged wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber, clamped by visible six-piston Brembo brakes with red calipers.

The 001 keeps ZEEKR's distinctive shooting-brake profile — part sedan, part wagon — with a full-width rear light bar carrying the ZEEKR wordmark and a carbon-fiber-trimmed rear spoiler on the Anniversary Edition. In the walkaround video, the front trunk is shallow (roughly 31 litres per the reviewer, not independently confirmed), while the rear cargo area behind the shooting-brake tailgate is deep and usefully square, expanding further with the rear seats folded — exact litre figures weren't independently confirmed for this specific trim, so we're not quoting a number we can't verify.
Charging & Battery
The Anniversary Edition runs a 103 kWh Qilin battery supporting 12C charging — the car's own window sticker confirms a 10-80% DC charge in about 7 minutes, among the fastest charging times of any production EV on sale today. CLTC range is rated at 680 km. ZEEKR's wider 001 lineup also offers a longer-range 810 km variant on the same 103 kWh pack (traded for less power), plus a smaller 95 kWh pack option.

Design & Interior
Anniversary-specific touches include a dual-tone paint scheme, carbon-fiber mirror caps and rear spoiler, and red badges marking the special edition. Inside, the cabin runs a black-and-tan "FR-Line" theme with suede-like sport seats and red accent stitching visible on the seatbelts and dashboard trim. The showroom unit in our source video wore a white-over-black combination rather than the glacier-silver launch color reported elsewhere, suggesting more than one paint option is available for this trim.
Technology & Features
The cabin runs ZEEKR's latest AI OS 7 infotainment platform on a large central touchscreen, with a full settings suite covering lighting, driving modes, ZEEKR's own ADAS stack ("ZEEKR AD"), connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, in-car hotspot) and wireless phone charging. The car ships with an official English-language interface option alongside Chinese, useful context for buyers sourcing units through export channels.
Pricing & Availability
The ZEEKR 001 Anniversary Edition is priced from 365,000 CNY (about $50,400) in China, sitting above the standard 001 lineup's four trims (Max 95 kWh AWD, Max 103 kWh RWD, Ultra 103 kWh AWD and Ultra+ 103 kWh AWD), which span roughly $37,900-$46,300 with CLTC range up to 810 km on the longer-range packs. Note that the export/reseller channel this walkaround came from quoted the Anniversary Edition at $54,000-$56,000 — that's the reseller's own service/export markup on top of ZEEKR's official China retail price, not a separate official price. ZEEKR sells the 001 in China with growing export activity to select overseas markets, but there is no official ZEEKR dealer presence in the U.S. or Europe as of this writing; independent LHD export services (like the one that sourced this video) can arrange overseas delivery outside of ZEEKR's own distribution network.
How It Compares
The Denza Z9 GT is the closest like-for-like rival — another Chinese performance shooting brake with even more power — but it costs roughly $8,600 more. Against the West's default performance-EV benchmark, the Tesla Model 3 Performance, the ZEEKR undercuts it slightly on price while offering nearly 400 more horsepower and a shooting-brake body Tesla doesn't build. The real headline is against the segment's actual king, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra: its 1,548 hp and sub-2-second sprint are in another league, but it also costs almost twice as much — making the ZEEKR's 912 hp for $50,400 look like the far more rational way to buy serious EV performance.
- 912 hp and a sub-3-second 0-100 km/h sprint for $50,400 — supercar pace at a fraction of supercar money
- 12C charging confirmed at 10-80% in about 7 minutes, among the fastest of any production EV
- Genuine Brembo/KW hardware (6-piston brakes, adjustable coilovers) rather than badge-only "performance" trim
- Practical shooting-brake body adds real cargo space most performance EVs skip
- No official ZEEKR sales network in the U.S. or Europe; overseas buyers rely on independent export services
- Export-channel pricing ($54,000-$56,000 seen in sourcing videos) runs well above ZEEKR's official $50,400 China price
The ZEEKR 001 Anniversary Edition is a reminder of how far Chinese performance EVs have come: 912 hp, a 2.91-second sprint, and 7-minute ultra-fast charging, all in a genuinely useful shooting-brake body, for the price of a well-optioned Tesla Model 3 Performance. It doesn't chase the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra's outright numbers, but for buyers who want serious pace without supercar money or a giant sedan, this is one of the more compelling performance EVs coming out of China this year — assuming you're comfortable navigating an export channel to get one.
