Get ready to be blown away—Zeekr has just unveiled jaw-dropping updates to its 007 GT and 007 EV models, packing a staggering 784 horsepower under the hood. That’s right, a 148 hp boost that’s sure to turn heads and ignite debates among electric vehicle enthusiasts. But here’s where it gets controversial: is this power surge a game-changer or overkill for everyday driving? Let’s dive in.
Published on February 6, 2026, at 7:51 PM CET, the details of these updated models were revealed by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The upgrades aren’t just about raw power—they also include a 900V high-voltage architecture and the cutting-edge NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-U chip for advanced driver assistance. These beasts are set to hit the roads in the second quarter of this year, available in both Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) configurations.
Appearance-wise, don’t expect a revolution. The Zeekr 007 GT retains its sleek design, with only minor tweaks to its dimensions. The updated model measures 4858/4880 mm in length, 1900 mm in width, and 1460/1445 mm in height, with a 2925 mm wheelbase. Interestingly, it offers slightly more flexibility in length compared to its predecessor. The Zeekr 007 sedan follows suit, with subtle exterior enhancements like added air vents on the lower bumper and an optional carbon fiber kit for the front fascia, side skirts, and rear spoiler. Its dimensions are nearly identical, though it’s 7 mm shorter in length and 3 mm shorter in wheelbase than the current model.
And this is the part most people miss: both models roll on 19-inch and 20-inch rims, with tire specs of 245/45 R19 and 255/40 R20, ensuring a smooth yet sporty ride. But the real magic lies under the hood. The RWD variant now delivers a maximum 370 kW (496 hp), up from 310 kW (416 hp), while the AWD version adds a 215 kW (288 hp) motor, pushing the combined output to 585 kW (784 hp). That’s a 110 kW (148 hp) jump from the previous model’s 475 kW (637 hp). Talk about a power upgrade!
Here’s the kicker: the current Zeekr 007 GT comes in three trims, offering CLTC cruising ranges from 585 km to 825 km and priced between 202,900 to 232,900 yuan (29,200 to 33,600 USD). The Zeekr 007 sedan, with four trims, boasts ranges from 616 km to 870 km and starts at 209,900 yuan (30,300 USD), topping out at 299,900 yuan (43,200 USD). Will the updated models justify a price hike? Only time will tell.
