Showing 1-12 of 3 cars
Glide away from a green light with no engine note and a long, low bonnet stretching ahead, and the appeal lands in about three seconds. That's the car people are after when they search "Zeekr 1", and we'll clear up the name first: it's the Zeekr 001, a premium electric shooting-brake that feels genuinely high-end. We deliver it to your door across Dubai with free collection at the end, so you don't lose an afternoon to a depot. If you want a quiet, fast, plush statement EV for a week, and you're weighing it against a German petrol saloon or a more ordinary electric car, this is the decision we'll help you make.
What the Zeekr 001 actually feels like to drive
The 001 is quick in a way that surprises people the first time. The dual-motor versions launch hard from a standstill, the kind of pace that makes overtaking on Sheikh Zayed Road effortless rather than a project. There's no gear hunting and no noise, just immediate, smooth shove.
What stays with you longer is the calm. At a steady 120 on the highway the cabin is hushed, ride comfort is on the soft side of firm, and conversation happens at normal volume. It's a low, wide car with a long roofline, so it carries itself more like a fast estate than a tall crossover. For airport runs, hotel arrivals, and long days of meetings, that quiet pace is the whole point.
The cabin: where your money goes
Step inside and the 001 reads as expensive. Soft materials sit where your hands and elbows land, the seats are properly supportive over a two-hour drive, and the big central screen runs the climate and media without feeling laggy. It's the part of the car that justifies picking it over a mainstream EV. A mid-range electric hatchback gets you from A to B; the Zeekr makes the in-between feel like a treat.
A few honest notes. Almost everything routes through the touchscreen, so there's a short learning curve on your first day with the temperature and drive settings. We set the basics up for you at handover and walk you through the charging menu before we leave, which saves the usual fumbling in a car park later.
Range and charging, the part that matters in Dubai
This is electric, so range replaces fuel as the thing to plan around. The good news for Dubai is that the 001 has a large battery and strong real-world range. For city driving plus the Abu Dhabi run and back, you'll have plenty in hand, and most renters spend the week charging once or twice rather than fussing over it.
How to live with it:
Charge overnight wherever you're staying if there's a wall box or a slow charger in the building. You'll wake up full most mornings.
For top-ups, public fast chargers from the main UAE networks are widespread across malls, fuel stations, and main roads in Dubai and on the E11 toward Abu Dhabi.
On a road fast charger the battery climbs quickly through the middle of its range, which is what you want on the rare day you're covering serious distance.
Where I'd tell you to think twice: a long push into remote territory, the deep desert or a far corner of the country with sparse charging, takes planning, and on those days a petrol car is simply less hassle. For Dubai, the Abu Dhabi commute, and the usual visitor loop, range is a non-issue.
Boot and everyday space
The shooting-brake shape isn't just for looks. That long roof gives you a genuinely usable boot, easily enough for two large cases and the soft bags that come with them, plus extra storage under the floor for cables. Two adults sit comfortably in the back for a full day out, and there's a front storage area for the smaller items you don't want sliding around.
It's a four-or-five person car for real trips, not a people-mover. A couple with a week of luggage, or three colleagues heading to Abu Dhabi with overnight bags, fits without anyone compromising. A family of five with a stroller and a week of gear should size up to something taller.
Zeekr 001 versus the obvious alternatives
Against a premium petrol saloon, say a 5 Series or an E-Class, the Zeekr wins on quiet, wins on outright acceleration, and costs far less to run if charging fits your week. The petrol car wins on the long remote drive and on instant refuelling. If your week stays inside Dubai and the Abu Dhabi corridor, the 001 is the smarter pick, and the more interesting one.
Against a mainstream EV, the gap is feel and pace. The Zeekr is quicker and the cabin is a clear step up, so if the point of renting is to enjoy the car rather than just move around, this is where your money shows. Pick the cheaper EV if you only need basic transport and don't care about the experience. Rent the 001 if you do.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Is the Zeekr 1 the same as the Zeekr 001?
Yes. "Zeekr 1" is how a lot of people type it, but the model is the Zeekr 001, a premium electric shooting-brake. There's no separate car called the Zeekr 1, so when you book the 001 with us, that's exactly what you're after. We'll confirm the trim and battery details when you reserve.
How far can the Zeekr 001 go on a charge in Dubai conditions?
The 001 carries a large battery and delivers strong real-world range, so daily city driving and the Abu Dhabi round trip sit well within a single charge. In Dubai heat with the AC working hard you'll see less than the headline figure, which is normal for any EV, but you'll still cover a full day comfortably. Most renters charge once or twice across a week. Only a long push into remote areas with sparse chargers needs proper planning.
Where do I charge it during the rental?
You've got two easy options. Charge overnight if your hotel or building has a wall box or slow charger, which usually means starting each day near full. For quicker top-ups, public fast chargers from the main UAE networks are common at malls, fuel stations, and along the main routes including the E11 to Abu Dhabi. We'll show you how to start a charge and how to read the range at handover.
Does the cabin really feel premium, or is it just fast?
It feels premium and it's fast, which is the combination people pick it for. The materials, seats, and big central screen put it above a typical electric hatchback, and over a long drive the comfort and quiet are what you notice most. The dual-motor pace is genuinely strong, so overtaking and merging are effortless. Most of the controls live in the touchscreen, so give yourself a few minutes on day one to settle in.
How do you handle delivery, Salik, and fines?
We deliver the 001 to your hotel, home, or office anywhere in Dubai and collect it when you're done, so you skip the depot entirely. The car comes with a Salik tag fitted, and any toll passes during your rental are reconciled with your booking rather than left for you to chase. Traffic fines are registered to the vehicle and passed to the renter responsible, so drive to the limits and you've nothing to think about. Ask us at booking and we'll walk you through the specifics for your dates.
