Zeekr 001 Long Range Achieves 600+ km WLTP Certification
Zeekr's flagship shooting brake confirms impressive range figures in European certification, positioning it as a strong contender in the European market.
Zeekr’s flagship 001 shooting brake has received official WLTP certification in Europe, confirming a maximum range of 620 km on a single charge—making it one of the longest-range EVs available outside China.
Official WLTP Results
The certification covers both battery variants:
| Variant | Battery | WLTP Range | Configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 001 Long Range | 100 kWh | 620 km | Single motor RWD |
| 001 Performance | 100 kWh | 580 km | Dual motor AWD |
| 001 Standard | 86 kWh | 530 km | Single motor RWD |
These figures align closely with the CLTC ratings from China, indicating consistent real-world performance.
Why This Matters
WLTP certification is required for European sales and serves as a reliable benchmark:
- More realistic than CLTC - European testing accounts for highway speeds and climate control
- Comparable to EPA - WLTP figures typically translate to 85-90% of EPA range
- European standard - WLTP is the official European range certification method
