This compact crossover is part of an onslaught from Zeekr to introduce seven new EVs by 2026. If it's anything like the 007, Tesla should be worried.
The automotive industry has called every compact and aspirational premium electric crossover a 'Model Y fighter' for the past five years. Many brands have tried to challenge Tesla, and some have even had modest success. But it’s not that easy to dethrone the best-selling vehicle in the world. That’s not going to stop plenty of brands from trying again, though. This time it's Zeekr coming at Tesla with a not-officially-named crossover still referred to by its codename, the CX1E.
There’s even what looks to be a LiDAR sensor just above the top of the windshield, just like the higher-trimmed versions of the Zeekr 007. Thus, we can logically assume that this CX1E will use the same SEA as the Zeekr 007. This could mean it will also get a partially megacast chassis and well over 600 horsepower. It also means that the CX1E would have the same 800-volt-class architecture, too. In the 007, this 800-volt architecture allows a peak DC fast-charging rate of 500 kW.
