ZEEKR 1 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The Zeekr 001 is a premium electric fastback from Geely's performance EV sub-brand, offering a compelling combination of striking design and serious performance for Saudi buyers looking beyond the mainstream EV options. For 2026, prices in KSA open at SAR 250,000 for the Long Range RWD and climb to SAR 285,000 for the Flagship.

The Long Range RWD uses a single rear motor in an Automatic configuration, while the Flagship upgrades to dual motors with a combined output of 544 bhp — a substantial step up that puts it firmly in sports-saloon territory for straight-line performance. Both variants seat 5 in a low-slung cabin that prioritises the driver experience over van-like practicality.

Pros: the dual-motor Flagship delivers supercar-rivalling acceleration at a fraction of European performance EV pricing — a strong value proposition for performance-minded Saudi buyers. The shooting-brake roofline and premium interior finish give it a genuinely premium feel that stands out in the growing Chinese EV segment. Cons: the fastback profile means boot access is less practical than a conventional SUV or sedan — luggage loading over the high lip requires some effort. Zeekr's KSA aftersales footprint is still expanding, so buyers outside major cities should verify service centre proximity before purchasing.

The Zeekr 001 is a recent entrant in the Saudi market and verifiable long-term residual data is not yet established. Resale values will likely depend on how quickly Zeekr builds brand recognition and service infrastructure across the Kingdom over the coming years.

Buyers looking at the Zeekr 001 in KSA also consider the BYD Seagull, Nio EL6, and Li Auto Atto 3 — fellow Chinese EVs at various price points — though the Zeekr 001 differentiates itself with superior power output and a more performance-focused character that the more family-oriented rivals cannot match.

How much does the Zeekr 001 cost in Saudi Arabia?

From SAR 250,000 for the Long Range RWD up to SAR 285,000 for the Flagship. The four steps are unusually close together, and each one adds hardware rather than badges: a second motor, then bigger brakes and suspension, then the full equipment list. Nothing in the range is a poverty model.

Which Zeekr 001 trim is the one to buy?

The Long Range RWD covers the case for most drivers — one motor, the same battery, and the longest range in the family. The all-wheel-drive cars are for people who want the 3.8-second acceleration and will accept slightly shorter range to get it. There is no version where you give up equipment to save money, which makes the entry car unusually easy to recommend.

Zeekr 001 or Tesla Model 3?

The 001 gives you far more car: a 539-litre load bay, a hatchback tailgate, rear seats adults can use, and a cabin trimmed to a standard the Tesla does not attempt. The Tesla Model 3 is lighter on running costs, better supported by software, and a known quantity when you sell. The smaller Zeekr X is the cheaper way into the brand.

What does a Zeekr 001 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?

Charging overnight at home is where the saving lives, and a battery this size means most weeks never involve a public charger at all. Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province are where the public network is strongest, so plan the long drives. There is no oil change to budget for; tyres and the battery warranty terms are the two things to ask about.

What should you check on a used Zeekr 001?

Ground clearance is the honest weakness — a low nose and long overhangs collect damage on kerbs and ramps, so inspect the front lip, sills and underbody carefully. Beyond that, battery state of health is the number that decides what a used one is worth, and it only shows up in a proper inspection of the individual car.
