Zeekr 007 wagon confirmed by CEO and will launch in 2025

Earlier this year, we reported that the Zeekr 007 station wagon was in pre-production. Zeekr CEO An Conghui has confirmed the existence of such a car and said that it will be released in 2025. Codenamed CC1E, little is known about the Nio ET5T competitor. At the same time, An mentioned that Zeekr’s new flagship large SUV will be released in the third quarter of 2025. The car is currently known by the EX1E code name.

Traditionally, station wagons have not been popular in the Chinese market. However, in recent years, especially with the adoption of EVs, they have begun creeping in, partly to make Chinese cars more appealing when exported to Europe.

We can get some idea of what to expect from the forthcoming wagon version of the 007 by looking at the sedan version and also how competitors have transitioned the design of a sedan over to a wagon. In the case of Nio, we can see that the ET5T (see specs) has exactly the same dimensions as the sedan ET5 (see specs) with 4790 1960, 1499 mm (l/w/h), and a wheelbase of 2888 mm. It is a similar case with the Neta S wagon, which, despite being built on a different platform to the sedan version (see specs), shares near identical dimensions of 4980, 1980, and 1480 mm (l/w/h) and a wheelbase of 2980 mm – the only difference being a thirty millimeter increase in height over the sedan. Therefore, we should expect the dimensions of the Zeekr 007 Wagon to match those of the sedan (see specs) quite closely so, being 4880, 1900, and 1448 mm (l/w/h) and a wheelbase of 2928 mm. This sees the car sitting almost exactly midway in size between the Nio ET5T and the Neta S wagon.

Various fan renderings have been posted on the Internet claiming that the car will adopt a wagon style similar to that of the Nio ET5T. This may well be the case with the forthcoming Exeed Exlantix ES Wagon, but at the moment, this is pure speculation for the 007, with so far no published spy shots to confirm the shape.

It is possible that the wagon version will be part of a 2026 model year Zeekr 007 launch. However, at the moment, our best idea of what to expect with regard to performance and configuration comes from the recently launched 2025 model-year sedan. This means a choice between a 75 kWh Golden Brick battery, or a 100 kWh Qilin battery from CATL The former is a self-developed battery, which in its second generation form supports 5.5C charging. This Zeekr claims means that the 007 is the world’s fastest charging production EV with a 10 to 80% SOC in 10.5 minutes.

The 007 sedan is available in single- and dual-motor versions. All versions use a 310 kW electric motor on the rear axle, and dual-motor versions add a 165 kW electric motor to the front. Depending on the configuration and battery pack fitted, ranges vary between 616 and 870 km.

As part of the 2025 model year upgrade, the Zeekr 007 received the Haohan intelligent driving 2.0 system, which boosts the car’s self-driving ability. The car has over 30 sensors, including Lidar, and the system works on a Lidar plus visual fusion basis. By the time the wagon launches in 2025, the system will have a door-to-door capability. Two Nvidia Orin X Chips provide 508 TOPS computing power, enabling the smart driving system.

Inside the cockpit, the Zeekr 007 features a 15-inch OLED center screen, a 35.5-inch AR-HUD system, and an LCD instrument panel. Other features include a 21-speaker premium audio system, an AI fragrance system, and a panoramic roof.

The Zeekr 007 was the brand’s breakout car in terms of sales. Although little is known about the wagon version currently, it is sure to further increase the model’s appeal, especially when exported.
