The back seats can be completed folded up to open up space for your pets instead of having then on the seats. 3. They provide a refrigerator option at the back so cool drinks are available. 4. Color changing, brightness adjustable top light at front 5. Fully flat car windows with rubber hiding inside the window gap instead of being exposed so it won't get your sleeve dirty 6. The front armrest is motorized and can be moved to the back so more space, plus switching seats is much easier 7. Fully massage passenger seat just like NIO.... And many more I can't remember.

The Zeekr give me more of what I expect, along with beefy styling, even without an off-road trim. The standard EX30 looks more wimpy, compared to this. This Zeekr seems like a home run, whereas the EX is maybe a triple… Thanks for another great review! I’ve enjoyed watching your thorough, informative reviews for a few years, now.

@@autogefuehl My situation requires that I do not use the car on a daily basis, but for personal needs, and they require longer kilometers, for such a LFP or LMFP battery is better because it has a longer life (battery capacity), is less likely to self-ignite, and can be charged regularly up to 100% with very little battery degradation. The NCM battery, on the other hand, is recommended to be charged to about 80%, because otherwise it has a large degradation in capacity and there is a greater possibility of self-ignition. When it is set that the LFP battery is charged to 100%, and the NCM to approx. 85%, it turns out that the LFP battery is a better option.

The quality in here is insane. It makes it look like VW, Mercedes etc wasn't even trying lol. I can't understand why the premium German carmakers are lowering their material quality while new brands are getting better. It seems like pure cost cutting and greed. If they continue like this, soon the Chinese cars will dominate the industry. I was a loyal Mercedes fan since I was 12 when the W211 E Class came out in 2002. Their recent vehicles are really poorly built and have poor materials. I am over that now and won't hesitate to rather buy a Chinese vehicle which these days seem to have better quality and more features at a cost which is far less. Relying on brand name is not enough anymore.

@@benjaminsmith2287 Not really. The W205 C Class for example has cracking armrest and peeling metal look bits even on lower mileage cars. It's like that because it's cheap materials being used. The cheaper the materials, the more easy it is to scratch and mark. That's why economy cars with hard plastics rarely look great inside after a few years. VW/Audi and Mercedes have gone full hard plastic in certain cars of theirs and they'll look just as bad after a few years. Even the new C Class has full hard scratchy plastic on the entire bottom half of the dashboard and doors. I sat in a new GLC the other day and the panels aside the screen creak when pressed. The brand new model on the showroom floor had a scratch on the door pocket which was permanent because it is plain hard plastic. The old model used soft dense plastic there so it didn't scratch as easily. That was already a model on the showroom floor. The Chinese cars are taking over the German cars in terms of interior material and build quality.

Sadly it looks like due to regulations Europeans would not get the fully loaded Zeekr with all the cool features that the Volvo does not have. The Chinese market Zeekr for instance has zero gravity passenger seat and then that center screen slides over to the passenger side so the passenger can relax and watch media on the screen. It also has a modular fridge that can go into the center console and the 4 seat version have power folding rear seats which fold upwards, creating a flat load floor for tall items or pets. I wonder if the Europeans will get that version because that's literally only available in pickup trucks currently, not in small crossovers.

It will be great when your review can add in the driving experience. Contrast this car with almost any recent high range Mercedes. The Merc interior looks as if a child designed their favourite space ship, and is about as usable. This, as Thomas tells us, is a premium interior where less is more - as I believe. The UI on the touchscreen, which I hate, is well offset by real buttons on the steering wheel to do things which I am most likely to want while driving, such as heating controls. This looks like a really good compromise between real haptic feel and the need to put settings behind a touchscreen where functions can be changed in software. Then you come to price and at less than €50k this does cause you think whether you really need the Mercedes. Though the review does not cover it, I would guess you do not get air suspension or 4W steering, but that to me might be the only reason to shell out for the Merc. Top speed may not be quite king of the autobahn, but 0-60 is as good as you could need. I have been critical of recent German premium brands, but it does look as if Audi (recent RS7 review) and BMWs are heading back towards interiors and UI/UX which is intuitive and pleasurable to use. And they also have the great, but expensive, engineering features. However they really ought to take a look at this car for lessons in understated premium quality.

@@autogefuehl I hesitate to dive into this. I live on a farm which produces animals we - or at least I - eat. Unless all of us turn vegetarian or vegan, there are going to be a lot of animals we collectively eat. Their leather involves no further cruelty, and its use might be considered respect to the animal you have slaughtered by at least using as much as possible. I do not know enough about the industrial processes which turns animal skin into “luxury” leather car seats. If those processes cause significant pollution and burn carbon, then that alone is reason to go for animal free car interiors. But animal free interiors involve no kindness to animals because we eat them anyway. There is a separate argument that we should not eat animals at all, and that is a position I respect but do not share.
@autogefuehl

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. Another interesting article is here: www.collectivefashionjustice.org/articles/is-vegetable-tanned-leather-sustainable-lets-do-some-leather-myth-busting#:~:text=Often%20listed%20as%20a%20'pro,the%20method%20of%20tanning%20used. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: kzitem.info/news/bejne/kqaItJ-NcqCjpaw New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1m9qv4yAcGSGh3Y More and more natural materials are rising: kzitem.info/news/bejne/z4iJ2Yx7p6l5d6Q or kzitem.info/news/bejne/tGeXtI6bqJOloHo Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzitem.info/news/bejne/z4aVqaqCpZN3n34 For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1aGgqXWjqmOQa3o Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
