First Drive ZEEKR 009 - BEST Family EV? Review // CHINA DRIVER
Ойын-сауық
ZEEKR kindly lent me the 009 for a day to see if it can survive being a family runaround for the day when we visit a mushroom farm in Shanghai.
ABOUT ME: I'm Elliot, I love cars and love driving. I have been living in China for a while and want to share the cars that are only available in China to a global audience. I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I enjoy making it! Any suggestions for cars you would like me to test next, pop it in the comments :)
*I am not being paid by anyone, not the manufacturers or the rental company, to make this video.

Class act from ZEEKR, really functional design that merges well with beauty.
How a genuine channel only get 6k subs over the past 4 years? I watched several other videos and they are too well made.
Second row seats look very similar to the ones in Maxus Mifa 9 - and also the center console. Thank you for yet another great video!

Glad you like them!
Elliot on China Driven , Woohooo 💪💪
I used to own am imported Toyota Alphard in the UK, this looks a brilliant EV equivalent, and I think quite a bit cheaper than top of the range Alphard.
amazing design
Wonder how the strong sidedoors compare with other vans?Make a parent feel safe for the toddlers
Black chrome grills!
I would like to use this possibly as a wheelchair vehicle. Can you tell me please the width of the rear door opening as well as the height of the opening? How high is the internal floor off the ground? ♿🇨🇦
4:11 - this is NOT an MPV (like the Mazda 5, or the Mitsubishi Spacestar), this is a MINIVAN. And every mininvan has a boot/trunk/cargo area/cargo space, e.g. Honda Odyssey, KIA Sedona (Carnival), Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Freestar and Toyota Sienna. (most of these are North American models)
I know in China they starting to call (fully featured) front passenger seat as "queen" seat, on this car maybe it's called "backup chauffeur" seat 😂 Nice review btw.

@@electricelliotrichards Waittt! 🤣 that "backup chauffeur" is my own idea / imagination as a joke 😆
Okay, Honda, Chrysler, Toyota, Kia, make something like this for the American market please.
fucking love it
Wow, thats a Grill. Like Hannibal Lecter🤣.
Why can't the roof make higher by 6" more for easier ingress? Especially for last row passenger. And why can't we have a third row door? So that the last row passenger do not have to bow every time they want to get into / get out of the car? If not a proper door maybe we can look at how mazda rx8 rear door was designed. It won't be very expensive to design & produce it.

Can you remove the third row to have more booth space?

This is my question too. And if the middle row can be three seats.
When this Can be by in France ?
Why are the doors so heavy? That HAS to severely impact range and efficiency.
This how I imagine Rolls Royce
Speaks a lot on the quality of Chinese cars nowadays.. amazing.. looking forward for the the review of Zeeker X..

I was told I was the second person to sit in the Renault Espace in the UK, I have no idea what it was I was just on my way to work.
looks weird but ı love it
£65k an absolute bargain. The waiting list is 3 years if your are lucky.
I think it looks fantastic, due to the fact it “thinks different” it’s an EV without the EV look, it’s a Royce without the Royce look, it’s ugly and respectable at the same time
How can chinese brands always manage to make luxury cars look cheap? Its like they successfully copy some luxury european vehicle silhouette they saw on a magazine but they only have some cheesy early 2000’s grills and headlights laying around in an abandoned FAW warehouse to put on them…
Is this a new way of presentation? Not showing the full dashboard even once but rather showing yourself all the way through the video?

It's a shame it has a face only a mother can love. Because the rest of the car looks amazing.

Overpriced! Will depreciate like a rock.
Guess the Volvo variant will be way less tacky/downright ugly...

That... is... truly... hideous!! It reminds me of the vile Lincoln Navigator. Thank goodness it'll only be sold in places where people buy such tasteless things!
