With the improvement of people's living standards, consumers pay more attention to quality when choosing a family car. In recent years, many mid-to-high-end models have also poured into the family car segment. The recently launched Zeekr MIX has attracted the attention of many consumers with its flexible and innovative spatial design, rich intelligent configurations, comprehensive safety performance, outstanding power performance and range performance, etc. So what exactly is the overall strength of this car? If you are also thinking about choosing a family car, you can follow the editor to take a deeper look at this car.
First, let's talk about the exterior design. After the Zeekr MIX was launched, there are two different voices regarding its exterior design. Some people feel that the Zeekr MIX's exterior design has a strong sense of futurism and technology, and its rounded and cute shape, like a baby bus, is very attractive; some people feel that the Zeekr MIX's exterior is too novel and hard to accept. In fact, everyone's aesthetic is different, so there will definitely be different opinions. Here the editor will not give too many detailed introductions, and will just talk about the more distinctive points in the exterior design. For the specific design, everyone can refer to the pictures below.
The front face of the Zeekr MIX is equipped with the all-new STARGATE integrated intelligent light curtain. This light curtain is composed of more than 1,960 precisely arranged LED lamp beads, and through an advanced intelligent control system, it realizes switching among multiple lighting effects. The 95-inch light band, combined with the through-type LED light band, creates a strong technological atmosphere. On the side of the body, the Zeekr MIX adopts a "four wheels at four corners" design, and the side sliding door adopts a unique double-door design, with a maximum opening of up to 1.48 meters, making it convenient for passengers to get on and off. At the rear, the Zeekr MIX adopts a simple design style. The through-type light band is located at the lower part of the rear windshield, echoing the front of the car. The black rear surround shape and color make the rear of the vehicle more layered.
The length, width and height of the Zeekr MIX are 4,688 mm, 1,995 mm and 1,755 mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 3,008 mm. Such body dimensions not only ensure the spaciousness of the interior space, but also make the vehicle as a whole look more coordinated. At the same time, the Zeekr MIX offers a variety of body color choices, including Polar Day White, Misty Rain Gray, Emerald Blue, Lime Green, Morning Mist Beige, etc., meeting the personalized needs of different consumers.
In terms of interior, the Zeekr MIX continues the design style of the Zeekr family, simple yet luxurious. The interior is wrapped in a large amount of soft materials, with a delicate touch, improving ride comfort. The steering wheel adopts the same shape as the new Zeekr 001 and is wrapped in leather, offering a comfortable grip, and supports up and down + front and rear adjustment, multi-function control, heating, memory and other functions. At the same time, the front passenger side of the center console is recessed toward the front of the car, giving the front passenger a more spacious activity space.
The central control area is equipped with a 15.05-inch touch LCD screen supporting 5G network access, supporting a rotating large screen function, standard HUAWEI HiCar mapping, support for OTA vehicle upgrades, etc. The voice recognition function supports control of the multimedia system, navigation, phone, air conditioning, windows, seat heating, etc. In addition, the Zeekr MIX is also equipped with smart functions such as an app store, APP remote control, intelligent vehicle finding, and mobile phone remote-controlled full-scenario automatic parking, making the driver's travel more convenient. The intelligent cockpit system is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, with excellent memory capacity and storage capacity, providing the driver with a smooth operating experience. The Zeekr MIX is also equipped with lidar and dual NVIDIA Orin-X chips, which can support urban navigation driving assistance functions that weakly rely on high-precision maps as well as cross-floor valet parking functions. The intelligent driving assistance system includes more than ten driving assistance systems such as adaptive cruise, lane keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, PEB low-speed reversing emergency braking, automatic parking in place, etc., providing drivers with a safer and more convenient driving experience.
The car is also equipped with a 13.02-inch LCD instrument cluster, with clear display and rich information, which can reflect the vehicle status in real time. In addition, the car is also equipped with an augmented reality head-up display system (AR-HUD), which can project key information such as navigation information and vehicle status onto the windshield, so that the driver can easily obtain the required information without lowering their head to check the instrument panel, improving driving safety.
Space performance is a major highlight of the Zeekr MIX. The passenger cabin area of the Zeekr MIX reaches 6.3 square meters, and the cockpit space utilization rate exceeds 80%, an increase of 10% compared with traditional cars. This benefits from the technological breakthrough of the Zeekr MIX. Through optimization of the chassis and layout, the vehicle space is returned to the cockpit to the greatest extent. The cockpit floor is flat, there are no thresholds on both sides, and there is no protrusion between the front and rear rows. Getting on and off is done in one step, and movement inside the car is more free. The design of a 165 mm ground clearance and a 390 mm floor improves the practicality of the vehicle and further reflects the Zeekr MIX's care for family users.
In terms of seat layout, the Zeekr MIX offers a large 5-seat layout. The front seats can be adjusted electrically steplessly by 270 degrees. Combined with a seat slide rail nearly 2 meters long, the front row sliding stroke can reach 800 mm, and the rear row sliding stroke can reach 490 mm, creating a true "versatile space" that can create multiple cockpit scenarios and continue to expand and upgrade. For example, when the front seats rotate backward 180 degrees, they instantly become a mobile living room; when the front and rear seats are pushed to the farthest position, a nearly 1.5-square-meter play area is formed in the center of the cockpit, turning into a mobile children's room; when the driver's seat or front passenger seat rotates outward 90 degrees, it becomes a mobile viewing platform, and so on. In addition, the Zeekr MIX seats are rich in functions. Both front and rear seats support heating, ventilation and massage functions, and users can adjust them independently according to their needs, meeting riding needs under different seasons and physical conditions. Especially in the cold winter in the north and the stuffy summer in the south, the heating and ventilation functions can greatly improve riding comfort.
The Zeekr MIX is built on the Haohan-M architecture, adopts a full-stack 800V high-voltage system, and is equipped with a rear-mounted single motor. The motor's maximum power is as high as 310 kW, and the maximum torque reaches 440 N·m. Thanks to the powerful power system, the Zeekr MIX's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is only 6.8 seconds, bringing the driver a surging acceleration experience. In terms of range, the Zeekr MIX offers two battery packs: a 102 kWh Kirin battery (long-range intelligent driving version) and a 76 kWh second-generation Golden Brick battery (intelligent driving version). The CLTC pure electric range is 702 km (long-range intelligent driving version) and 550 km (intelligent driving version), respectively. Empowered by the 800V fast charging platform, the intelligent driving version needs only 0.18 hours to replenish from 10% to 80%, while the long-range version needs 0.25 hours. The charging speed is higher than the mainstream level on the market, solving everyone's anxiety about range.
In terms of handling, the Zeekr MIX also performs excellently. The vehicle is equipped with advanced chassis tuning and a suspension system, ensuring stable handling performance under various road conditions. Whether driving at high speed or in congested urban sections, the Zeekr MIX can handle it easily, providing the driver with a pleasant driving experience.
Let me talk about the test drive experience. The car feels very powerful when driven, and the pushback sensation during acceleration is obvious. The chassis is solid, and body roll is well controlled when cornering, giving people confidence. The range performance is also very good. The measured full-charge range is almost the same as the official data, fully meeting daily travel needs. The fast charging capability is also relatively strong, so there is no need to worry during long-distance travel.
The Zeekr MIX also performs well in safety performance. The new car adopts a concealed dual B-pillar design, combined with submarine-level high-strength hot-expansion steel pillars and ultra-high-strength steel, forming a solid body frame. The entire series is standard-equipped with aviation-grade 7-series aluminum alloy front anti-collision beams, as well as fast-responding overhead airbags, head-chest integrated far-side airbags and ultra-large-capacity side curtain airbags. These passive safety configurations, combined with advanced intelligent safety systems, provide all-round and efficient safety protection for drivers and passengers, ensuring that injuries can be minimized to the greatest extent when a collision occurs.
Summary: With its unique design language, flexible space layout, strong power system and rich intelligent configurations, etc., the Zeekr MIX meets consumers' needs for spacious space and comfortable riding, and provides drivers with a safer and more convenient travel experience. With the continuous development of the new energy vehicle market, the launch of the Zeekr MIX provides consumers with more diversified choices. If you have sufficient budget and many family use scenarios, the Zeekr MIX is a good choice.
