Many people are looking forward to Tesla's next model, the entry version, which is allegedly inexpensive, starting at only 170,000 RMB, but when exactly this car will come, remains unknown and remains a mystery.

Recently, an overseas media obtained a set of the new entry model of the Krypton brandPrototype of ZEEKR 003Road test spy photos, the new car previously internal code for “ BX1E ”, is expected to be officially unveiled at the opening of the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show in April, and then may be listed in China and Europe within the year.

The car will probably be built on the same SEA Vast Pure Electric Architecture as the smart elf #1, perhaps focusing on the pure electric small SUV market. From the outside, the car's front overhang, rear overhang and door ratio are very close to the smart elf #1, which means that the length and wheelbase may also be similar to the latter, according to this speculation.The dimensions of the car are about 4300/1830/1640 mm, with a wheelbase of about 2750 mm。

The car design is quite unique, split headlights, special shape of the rear window, but also the use of hidden door handles and low wind resistance wheels, its taillight shape is also very personal, like through the type, but the middle for “ ZEEKR ” English logo, is expected to be lit, because the tail window glass is more vertical, so also equipped with rear wipers.

As for the interior, through the previous spy photos, it is known that it will use a new style of two-spoke oval steering wheel, the overall layout is very similar to smart elf #1.On the left side of the steering wheel is the turn signal paddle and on the right side is the shift paddle, along with a suspended full LCD instrument cluster and a central touch screen.

Power unknown, but since the same platform with smart elf # 1, and similar positioning, then it can be presumed that the car will also be launched rear-wheel drive version and four-wheel drive version, the former maximum power 200 kW, torque 343 Nm & middot; meters, zero hundred acceleration of about 6.7 seconds, equipped with 66kWh ternary lithium battery pack.CLTC range between 535 and 560 km。

The latter is more powerful, expected front and rear motor power of 115 kW and 200 kW, respectively, torque of 200 Nm & middot; m and 343 Nm & middot; m, zero hundred acceleration of about 3.9 seconds.

In terms of price, there is no doubt that 003 will inevitably become the cheapest model of the Extreme Krypton, and I would venture to guess thatIts pricing will fall between $160,000 and $220,000。
