How does it compare?
The Zeekr 001 Z-Sport enters the arena of electric SUVs with formidable specs that make it a tough competitor for the likes of the Tesla Model Y, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, and the Audi Q4 e-tron. Lets see how these electric war horses stack up in the key areas of range, acceleration, power, charging time, and price.
Range
When it comes to range, the Zeekr 001 Z-Sport offers a jaw-dropping 606 km (377 miles). This is a cut above the Tesla Model Y, which typically delivers around 525 km (326 miles). The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT trails with a range of 504 km (313 miles), while the Audi Q4 e-tron comes in at 520 km (323 miles). Clearly, the Zeekr makes a long-distance sprinter look like a weekend jogger.
Acceleration
If youre into speedy getaways, the Zeekr 001 Z-Sport does 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in a dazzling 3.8 seconds. Almost on par is the Tesla Model Y with 3.5 seconds, as if it has had an extra shot of espresso. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, a proper muscle EV, gets there in 3.7 seconds, barely a whisker faster. The Audi Q4 e-tron lags, taking a more leisurely 6.2 seconds to reach 100 km/h, proving its not about the morning rush for everyone.
Power
The power game is another segment where the Zeekr 001 Z-Sport flexes its 536 h.p. Thats more muscle than the Tesla Model Y, which churns out a respectable 490 h.p. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT generates a similar immense force at around 480 h.p., while the Audi Q4 e-tron has a more modest output of 295 h.p. It’s like lining up a young sprinter against experienced marathon runners.
Charging Time
About charging, the Zeekr 001 Z-Sport does not disappoint. With a 100 kWh battery, it utilizes rapid charging capabilities to get you back on the road in short order. Comparing with the Tesla Model Y, whose Supercharger takes it from 0% to 80% within 30 minutes, Zeekr’s efficiency places it well in the fast lane. The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT leans towards 45 minutes for a similar charge, while the Audi Q4 e-tron does it in just under 38 minutes. High-speed electric refueling without the drama of a pit stop.
Price
Finally, hitting the wallet where it counts, the Zeekr 001 Z-Sport starts at $66,900 (£51,600 or €61,500), a tantalizing proposition for its specs. The Tesla Model Y nudges higher at approximately $69,990 (£54,000 or €65,000). The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT lags not far behind at $63,000 (£48,500 or €57,000), and the Audi Q4 e-tron requires you to part with around $60,000 (£46,200 or €54,200). With Zeekr, its like getting the best seats for the price of a balcony ticket.
