Known problems
- Good to know
Grey-import connectivity and Russian localization
Symptoms: the 4G / connected-server link can drop and be slow to re-establish, and fitting a Russian SIM is trickier than on the 001; the app and account are tied to the Chinese market
What to do: Have a Zeekr specialist set up the SIM, account and localization for Russian use, and keep the app and car software updated. Treat this as a parallel-import setup task rather than a vehicle fault.
- Good to know
Very new model with little long-term data
Symptoms: launched in 2024 with almost no long-term reliability history; some reviewers find the rear-wheel-drive car's suspension tuning soft and floaty over bumps, and there are the minor first-year software niggles typical of a new EV
What to do: As an early-production EV bought largely as a parallel import, keep the software current, do not assume long-term durability is proven, and take a thorough test drive to judge the ride. Budget for a Zeekr specialist for service and parts.
Service schedule
| Item | Interval | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tyre rotation & condition check | every 6,000 mi (10,000 km) | instant torque and battery weight can wear tyres unevenly; rotate and check regularly |
| Cabin (pollen) filter change | every 19,000 mi (30,000 km) or 24 months | a battery-electric car — no engine oil, spark-plug or timing service; the cabin filter is a main consumable, and the A/C desiccant is a multi-year item at major service |
| Reduction-gear (single-speed) fluid / inspection | every 37,000 mi (60,000 km) | single-speed reducer — inspect for leaks/noise; long-life fluid. Some Russian specialists suggest a precautionary early reducer-oil change (around 2,000-5,000 km) on new cars — optional, and best discussed with a Zeekr specialist. |
| 12V auxiliary battery check | every 12 months | the 12V battery powers the electronics and wakes the car; check its health, especially before winter |
| Battery / drive-unit coolant inspection important | every 12 months | check the thermal-management coolant that cools the 800V traction battery and the motor(s); long-interval replacement per the maker |
| Brake caliper clean & lubricate important | every 12 months | regen means the friction brakes are rarely used, so clean and grease the caliper slides yearly — important in salt-belt winters so calipers do not seize |
| Brake fluid important | every 24 months | still hygroscopic even though regen keeps the friction brakes lightly used; replace on time |
Manufacturer-declared fuel economy
No manufacturer-declared figures for this model are in the Knowledge Base yet. A figure without the cycle it was measured under is not comparable to anything, so we publish none rather than a number you cannot interpret.
