The rear of the car adopts an integrated through-type taillight, with the "ZEEKR" luminous logo in the center.

Configuration analysis

23 ME version, five-seat rear drive

Guide price: 189,800 yuan

Recommended index: ★★★★☆

In the new energy era, everyone basically doesn’t play tricks. JikryptonIt is the only one in its class and has more than 100 standard features for the entire series. For example, LED automatic headlights, frameless doors, capacitive-sensing hidden door handles, electric tailgate, L2-level assisted driving, 50W wireless charging, 8155 chip, HUD head-up display, and mobile app remote control are all standard features.

It is worth mentioning that the auxiliary driving system of Jikrypton CMSR rear collision mitigation, LCA automatic lane change warning assist, DPS driver status monitoring, remote control direct in and out parking, front and rear side traffic assistance, TSI traffic sign recognition and other functions. Of course, many functions need to be gradually activated through remote software push at a later stage.

The only configuration that can distinguish different configurations in appearance is that the ME version only uses 18-inch starburst wheels, while the YOU version has 19-inch wheels.

Although it is only rear-wheel drive in terms of power, it still achieves 0-100km/h acceleration in 5.8 seconds, which is completely sufficient; and the rear-wheel drive version has a longer battery life of 560km, and it is still a five-seater version. More practical.

So considering its price of 189,800 yuan, the ME version is definitely the most cost-effective choice among the three versions. Even when compared with the entry-level versions of competing products such as Volkswagen ID.4 X and Smart Elf #1, it still wins comprehensively.

23 YOU version, five-seat, four-wheel drive

Guide price: 209,800 yuan

Recommended index: ★★★

Compared with the ME five-seat rear-wheel drive version, the price of the YOU five-seat four-wheel drive version has increased by 20,000 yuan, and its configuration mainly adds steering wheel heating, 13-speaker YAMAHA sound system, 19-inch wheels and other configurations. Probably the most obvious upgrade in terms of experience is the addition of a front-wheel drive motor, achieving four-wheel drive and a 0-100km/h performance in 3.8 seconds.

It is not difficult to see that this version does not have obvious configuration upgrades. The 20,000 yuan is mainly spent on improving the power experience. But the question is how many people have an urgent need to increase the sprint time from 5.7 seconds to 3.7 seconds. For most people, the power performance of the rear-wheel drive version is completely sufficient, and the four-wheel drive will also reduce the range by 48km. Therefore, if you don’t often travel on bad roads or there is a lot of demand for four-wheel drive in northern ice and snow areas, I would not recommend buying this version.

23 YOU version, four-seat rear drive

Guide price: 209,800 yuan

Recommended index: ★★★★

Compared with the ME version of the five-seat rear-wheel drive version, the price of the four-seat rear-wheel drive YOU version is also increased by 20,000 yuan. In addition to reducing the number of seats by one, the upgrade in configuration is obvious, especially the main features of the Jikrypton X are basically reflected. on this version. For example, there is a zero-gravity front passenger seat, a smart center island, electric folding rear seat cushions, a 14.6-inch sliding central control screen, a Touch Bar touch steering wheel, etc.

So there is no doubt that it is worth spending 20,000 yuan to buy this bunch of configurations. Apart from the fact that one seat is missing in terms of practicality, there is nothing wrong with it. It is definitely a tool to improve the taste of life. In fact, it would be perfect if there was a YOU version of the five-seater rear-drive model at the same price.

Editor's comment: Before it was launched, I heard that the Jikrypton X would cost more than 200,000 yuan. In fact, I was not optimistic about it. After all, you can buy a Tesla Model 3 at this price. But after looking at the configuration after it was launched, I seemed to think it was good. After all, its configuration and playability are very high, and it has no rivals in the compact luxury electric SUV segment. Although fuel-powered vehicles such as the Smart Elf #1, Volkswagen ID.4X, and even the Audi Q3 at the same price range can be regarded as competitors, the performance of the XKX exceeds that of the Volkswagen ID.4X, and the new luxury style is also more advanced; Compared with Smart Elf #1, the design style of Jikrypton It is difficult to compete with competition from emerging rivals, and JiKrX still has great potential.

However, for this model, there are currently relatively few configuration versions, and it is difficult to cover everything, so I don’t recommend that you ask forInstead, try to choose the advantageous side. For example, if you consider practicality, you would give priority to the ME version of the rear-wheel drive five-seat model. After all, the performance of the two-wheel drive version is strong enough, and the five-seat model is more suitable for home use. If you consider it from the perspective of car fun and comfort, then the YOU version with four seats and rear drive is the first choice. It has a zero-gravity passenger seat, a sliding screen, and optional four-wheel drive. It offers ultimate performance and ultimate ride comfort. It can also raise the level and improve the taste of life.
