Zeekr 001 Used Price 2026: Is a 536km Liftback Worth $24k?
A used Zeekr 001 price in 2026 runs $23,500 to $31,000 for the Long Range WE Edition with the 536 km rating. That buys 544 hp, a 100 kWh pack and air suspension in a car that looks far more expensive than it is.
Zeekr flipped owners’ expectations: this was a premium brand launched inside Geely, sold only in China at first, and resale values fell hard when newer 800V models arrived. The 2022 WE Edition is where that depreciation lands in your favour.
What does a used Zeekr 001 cost by version?
- 2022 001 WE dual-motor, 536 km, 100 kWh – $23,500 to $27,000
- 2023 001 ME / YOU, 750 km rear-drive – $29,000 to $34,500
- 2024 001 with 800V architecture – $35,000 and up
The 750 km single-motor version is the sensible buy for most people. Two motors add 200 hp you will rarely use and cut range by around 90 km. Unless you drive in snow or genuinely want the acceleration, the rear-drive car is the better used purchase.
How far does a 2022 Zeekr 001 really go?
The 100 kWh CATL Qilin pack is rated 536 km CLTC in dual-motor form. Plan on 400-430 km in mixed driving and roughly 350 km at a steady 120 km/h. After three years and 60,000 km, battery health typically sits at 91-94%, which costs you 20-30 km of range.
Charging is where the 2022 car shows its age. It peaks around 200 kW on a 400V architecture, versus 500 kW on the 2024 facelift’s 800V system. Still fast enough for 10-80% in about 25 minutes at a proper charger, but you will notice the gap on road trips.
What are the risks of buying a 2022 Zeekr 001?
- Software support: Zeekr’s newer OS releases target 800V hardware. Feature updates for 2022 cars have slowed to security patches.
- Air suspension: comfortable, but a compressor replacement runs $1,200-$1,800 outside warranty. Test the ride height modes.
- Electric door mechanisms: cool in a showroom, a $300 repair when a sensor fails. Test every door three times.
- Infotainment hardware: 2022 units use the older Snapdragon chip and feel slow next to the facelift.
- Parts and diagnostics: Zeekr never sold officially in most markets, so an independent shop needs the right tool. Confirm local support before buying.
That last point is the one that sinks deals. Several buyers in the Middle East and Southeast Asia bought a 001 on price and then discovered no workshop could clear a fault code. Ask your importer which shop will service the car before you commit.
Is the Zeekr 001 a good used EV for the money?
For an enthusiast who wants a fast, quiet, well-trimmed liftback and can live with a 400V charging curve, yes. The hardware is excellent – Nappa leather, 21-speaker audio on some trims, a chassis tuned by a former Porsche engineer. Nothing at $25,000 comes close on interior quality.
For a fleet buyer or someone whose priority is low running costs, no. A BYD Seal DM-i at similar money is slower but easier to service, and a BYD Atto 3 at half the price covers 90% of the same trips.
Compare the 2022 Zeekr 001 WE Edition against the smaller Zeekr 007 if you want 800V charging in a smaller body for similar money.
Key Takeaways
- Used Zeekr 001 prices: $23,500 to $31,000 for 2022-2023 cars in 2026.

- The rear-drive 750 km version is the better used buy than the dual-motor.
- Software updates on 2022 cars have slowed – budget for a frozen feature set.
- Confirm local diagnostic support before buying; this is the deal-breaker.
