Zeekr 007

The 2025 Zeekr 007 is a full-size electric sedan built on an 800-volt architecture, priced from AED 175,000 through AW Rostamani. Four variants span 422 hp to 784 hp, with WLTP ranges from 480 km to 615 km across 75 kWh LFP and 100 kWh NMC battery options. Ultra-fast DC charging reaches 10–80% in as little as 10.5 minutes on compatible chargers. For tech-forward UAE buyers seeking a premium electric sedan with flagship charging speeds and genuine performance credentials, the 007 is a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model S and BMW i5. Those requiring an established local service network or Arabic-language infotainment should weigh the brand's relative newness in the region. Tech-forward professionals seeking 800V charging speed Highway commuters covering long inter-emirate distances Performance buyers wanting sub-3-second acceleration Villa residents with a home wall box Buyers requiring an established UAE service track record Apartment residents without private charging Families prioritising third-row seating or SUV ride height The Zeekr 007 is Geely's flagship electric sedan, positioned to compete directly with the Tesla Model S, BMW i5, and Mercedes EQE in the UAE's premium EV segment. Built on the 800-volt PMA2+ platform, it offers four variants ranging from a composed long-range cruiser to a 784 hp dual-motor performance weapon capable of reaching 100 km/h in 2.84 seconds. Sold through AW Rostamani, the same group behind Zeekr's UAE operations including the 001 and 7X, the 007 arrives as D-segment electric sedans gain traction among Abu Dhabi–Dubai commuters. The Zeekr 007 delivers flagship technology — 800-volt charging, LiDAR ADAS, and up to 784 hp — at a price that significantly undercuts established European rivals. For tech-forward professionals and performance buyers with home charging, it represents exceptional value. The brand's youth in the UAE means limited resale data and unproven long-term service coverage, which conservative buyers should weigh carefully. Those comfortable with an early-mover position should book a test drive at AW Rostamani's Zeekr showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Two battery packs are available. The 75 kWh Second-Generation Golden Battery uses LFP chemistry with strong thermal stability suited to Gulf temperatures. The 100 kWh NMC pack extends range for Long Range and Performance variants. Both operate on an 800-volt architecture, enabling ultra-fast DC charging speeds exceeding 400 kW on compatible chargers.

UAE summer conditions reduce WLTP figures by 15–25%. The Long Range RWD variant's 615 km WLTP translates to an estimated 460–520 km in real-world driving. The Standard 75 kWh RWD drops to approximately 390–440 km. Highway cruising at 120–140 km/h with full AC load pushes consumption toward the lower estimate. City driving in cooler months holds closer to the upper range.

The 007 accepts 11 kW AC via Type 2, charging the 75 kWh battery in approximately 7.5 hours and the 100 kWh pack in around 10.5 hours. At DEWA's residential rate of AED 0.23/kWh, a full charge costs AED 17.25 (75 kWh) or AED 23.00 (100 kWh). In Abu Dhabi at AED 0.27/kWh, the figures are AED 20.25 and AED 27.00 respectively.

The 800-volt architecture supports DC fast charging exceeding 400 kW, achieving 10–80% in as little as 10.5 minutes on ultra-fast chargers. On the UAE's more common 120 kW CCS2 stations, expect 25–30 minutes for the same charge. Compatible networks include DEWA Green Charger, E2GO, UAEV, and GreenParking. Tesla Supercharger access depends on adapter availability and network policy. 2025 Zeekr 007 — Battery & Charging

The 007's cabin is trimmed in Nappa leather with a minimalist Scandinavian-influenced design. Rear legroom is generous for a sedan of this size, aided by the 2,928 mm wheelbase and flat floor. The 40:60 split rear bench reclines, and heated outer rear seats are standard. Storage includes door pockets, a deep centre console, and under-armrest compartments.

The driving position is low and sports-sedan oriented with full electric seat adjustment including lumbar and massage functions. The steering column adjusts for rake and reach. The 35.5-inch AR head-up display projects navigation and speed data at high brightness, reducing the need to glance away from the road. Powered side doors are standard across all variants.

Three-zone automatic climate control is standard, with ventilated and heated front seats addressing UAE summer conditions. A heat pump improves efficiency in cooler months and reduces AC-related range drain. Remote pre-cooling via the Zeekr app is supported. The panoramic glass roof benefits from UV-filtering, though aftermarket tinting is recommended for peak summer solar load in Dubai.

Boot capacity is 462 litres with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1,300 litres with the 40:60 split folded. A 32-litre front trunk accommodates charging cables or a small overnight bag. No V2L external power export is offered on the sedan variant.

A 15.05-inch 2.5K OLED central touchscreen runs Zeekr AI OS on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor. The 13-inch digital cluster and 35.5-inch AR-HUD complete the display suite. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Arabic language support has not been confirmed on current-specification units — buyers should verify with AW Rostamani before purchase. A 21-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system is fitted on higher trims.

Eight airbags are standard including front centre and side curtain protection. The ADAS suite is powered by dual Nvidia Orin-X processors and includes LiDAR, AEB, adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, lane centring, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic lane change, and a 360-degree surround camera. The 007 has not been tested by Euro NCAP, though sibling Zeekr models on the same platform hold five-star ratings.

The 007 drives with the composure of a car designed for the autobahn. Forward visibility is clear, and the sedan profile keeps the centre of gravity low. Transition between driving modes is seamless, with the suspension adapting damping in real time to road conditions.

The Performance AWD variant reaches 100 km/h in 2.84 seconds — genuine supercar territory from a family sedan. Even the Standard RWD at 5.3 seconds provides confident overtaking on Sheikh Zayed Road and the E11. Wind noise at 120 km/h is well controlled thanks to frameless doors and aerodynamic refinement. Road roar is minimal on smooth UAE tarmac.

Regenerative braking is adjustable with one-pedal driving available. Energy recuperation is aggressive enough for city-only driving without touching the brake pedal. Hydraulic brake feel is linear and confidence-inspiring under hard braking, important given the Performance variant's 210 km/h top speed.

Zeekr Pilot offers Level 2 autonomous driving with adaptive cruise, lane centring, automatic lane change, and navigation-based cruise control. The LiDAR and dual Orin-X setup provides a hardware ceiling well above current software capability. Stop-and-go cruise functions reliably in Dubai's peak-hour traffic.

The low centre of gravity and wide track deliver planted cornering with minimal body roll. Low-speed manoeuvrability is competent for a sedan of this length. The 360-degree camera and parking sensors make multi-storey car park navigation straightforward. At 1,450 mm in height, the 007 clears standard 2.1 m parking barriers with ease.

Adaptive damping delivers a supple ride over the UAE's generally smooth urban roads. Expansion joints and speed bumps are absorbed without harshness. Rear passenger comfort is a strength — the flat floor and generous wheelbase provide a composed, quiet cabin at highway speeds.

AW Rostamani Group is the official Zeekr distributor in the UAE, operating dedicated Zeekr showrooms in Dubai (Sheikh Zayed Road) and Abu Dhabi. Zeekr Care service centres at both locations employ trained high-voltage EV technicians with access to genuine parts. Vehicle warranty is expected at five years or 150,000 km, with an eight-year or 200,000 km battery warranty — among the strongest in the segment.

Grey import Zeekr 007 units sourced from China may lack UAE-specific software calibration, Arabic navigation, and regional charging profiles. Insurance loading is typically 15–25% above standard for parallel imports. Government incentives — free Salik tag, green parking access, and reduced registration fees — apply exclusively to official agency vehicles. The 007's 800-volt high-voltage system and LiDAR-based ADAS require Zeekr-certified diagnostics unavailable outside AW Rostamani's network.

At AED 175,000 for the Standard variant, the 007 undercuts the BMW i5 eDrive40 and Mercedes EQE 350+ by AED 50,000–80,000 while matching or exceeding their specifications. For a buyer covering 20,000 km annually with a home wall box, annual electricity cost is estimated at AED 780–900 (at DEWA's AED 0.23/kWh rate), compared to AED 8,000–12,000 for a petrol equivalent. Annual savings exceed AED 7,000. Insurance through official channels is estimated at AED 9,000–14,000 annually depending on variant. EV servicing is approximately AED 1,500–2,500 per year — substantially below the petrol sedan equivalent. Government incentives include a free Salik tag (toll charges of AED 4–6 per gate still apply), green parking bay access with a four-hour session limit, and reduced RTA registration fees. Depreciation risk is moderate-to-high. Zeekr is a new brand in the UAE with limited resale market data. AW Rostamani's established regional presence provides some residual value reassurance, and the 800V architecture future-proofs the powertrain against rapid EV technology shifts. LFP variants benefit from superior thermal longevity in hot climates. Three-year resale is tentatively estimated at 45–55% of purchase price — below established European rivals but competitive among Chinese EV entrants. 2025 Zeekr 007 — Standard Equipment
