The groundbreaking pure electric hunting vehicle era, Jike 001, has launched a new model today, with a suggested price of 269,000-329,000 yuan (45700$). The new car has made varying degrees of improvements in software, hardware, and intelligent driving, introducing the functionality/design concept of Jike 001FR in many areas, enhancing the product strength of the new Jike 001, making it a versatile vehicle, fully showcasing the all-around hunting vehicle positioning.
The new Extreme Krypton 001 draws inspiration from the style of the Extreme Krypton 001FR. A laser radar is added to the roof, and the front end of the car has undergone slight changes. The lower front end of the car has been fitted with a more exaggerated AGS integrated intake grille decoration. The side skirts have evolved into more performance-oriented triangles, giving the front end a “X” shape.
The all-new Geely 001 has not changed much in size, with dimensions of 4977/1999/1545mm (length/width/height) and a wheelbase of 3005mm. The increase in length is due to the exterior kit.
The new Jike 001 introduces a new “hunting green” body color, which is also the color of the Jike 001 FR, giving it a distinctive high-performance car paint for the first time on a hunting vehicle.
The body of the car remains unchanged, retaining the flat double-layer emblem, the penetrating car nose, the iconic split-type headlamps, as well as the hidden door handles and frameless doors. It is worth mentioning that the new Jike 001 is equipped with the intelligent induction automatic door function on all four doors, making it standard in the mid-to-large sedan segment.
In terms of charging, the fast/slow charging port is integrated into the left rear fender of the car, and can achieve 6KW external power output.
The changes to the rear of the car are subtle, fitting the style of the Extreme Krypton 001FR. The rear spoiler now integrates a camera and a triangular shape that complements the front bumper design.
The car’s interior layout and texture have been upgraded to a higher level. The interior design style is very similar to the Jike 001FR. The center console layout adopts an asymmetrical design, with a horizontal air outlet, and minimal physical buttons. In terms of luxury, it features a diamond-patterned perforated seat, a waterfall-style ambient light, and a simple dual-color interior design.
The dashboard has changed its overall style to a single elliptical structure, with a larger AR-HUD head-up display added for clear projection of navigation and vehicle speed while driving.
The all-new Jike 001 steering wheel adopts the same multi-function buttons as the Jike 001 FR, changing from touch to physical buttons.
The central large screen has been upgraded to a 2.5K OLED screen, which can be rotated left and right by swiping with four fingers. The intelligent cabin chip has also been upgraded to the fourth generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, making it very smooth in function switching, voice interaction, and car-machine interaction. The voice assistant can achieve voice AI intelligent conversation and support casual chatting with it while sitting in the car.
The all-new Extreme K001 has a more immersive setting, with the addition of Extreme Healing Mode and Cinema Mode. The Cinema Mode can achieve a fully immersive cabin experience, and the system will also link the seat belts, seat vibration, ambient lights, and air conditioning vents to the real-time images of the movie to achieve a 5D viewing experience. In terms of audio, the all-new Extreme K001 features a Dolby Music Hall and a Yamaha 7.1.4 panoramic sound advanced audio system with Dolby sound effects and 28 speakers with a peak power of 3000W. In terms of riding experience, the quality and support of the seats are excellent, with NAPPA leather covering the entire seat from the entry level, 10-point massage seats, elephant trunk-style thigh support that can extend 50mm, VAT design, natural music linked seat vibration, and tactile resonance making the journey more comfortable.
The new JiKe 001 uses a new electrochromic technology for the sky, with a top strip pre-loaded with the JiKe logo, 10-zone, 10-level dimming, and the ability to freely select the light transmission mode and brightness of the zone, creating a very technological atmosphere.
Smart driving is one of the biggest upgrades of the new Extreme Kr001. The intelligent driving system still carries the self-developed advanced intelligent driving assistance system of Extreme Kr, mainly through the fusion of vision, and hardware has added a laser radar at the top of the old model to achieve high-speed point-to-point NZP navigation assistance.
In terms of power, the new Jiuke 001 has upgraded to a full-stack 800V high-voltage system, added PTM2.0 thermal management system, and the three-electric system is almost a 001FR. It not only replaces the planetary coaxial reducer with the same source as 001FR, but also comes standard with dual motors, with a maximum power of 580 kilowatts and a zero to one hundred acceleration time of 3.3 seconds.
In terms of endurance, the new Jike 001 with a 100-degree Kirin battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 15 minutes, while the 95-degree Shenxing battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 11.5 minutes. Therefore, under CLTC conditions, its pure electric endurance reaches up to 705 kilometers.
In terms of driving experience, the all-new Jike 001 is closer to the 001FR. The chassis has been upgraded with intelligent magic carpet dual-chamber air suspension. The new dual-chamber air spring can adjust height and stiffness simultaneously, with 70mm of adjustable height and 2 levels of stiffness. It also leans towards the 001FR in driving mode, equipped with racing mode, launch mode, and drift mode, emphasizing its sporty attributes.
In summary, the launch of the new JeeKee 001 has once again pushed the performance of medium and large pure electric cars to a new height. As a model that continues to dominate the sales of Chinese brand pure electric vehicles priced at over 300,000 RMB, and as a model that pioneers the era of pure electric hunting gear, this update is comprehensive, truly achieving a multi-purpose vehicle with the aesthetics of hunting gear, the handling of a coupe, and the space and off-road capability of an SUV, while maintaining its benchmark status.
