Even before the advent of mass-produced electric cars, some critics have insisted that too many new cars just look and feel the same—especially if they’re from the same parent company. To them, all these modular platforms with unmemorable names like TGNA and MQB just yield the same car over and over again; it’s even worse with EVs since batteries, motors and software don't create as many obvious differences as engines do. I think that’s a little hyperbolic and far too pessimistic.
, The fact that we got switches on the doors in the usual places is a miracle; the 007 avoids feeling too paired back, as there are a few switches always in the correct place. Of course, a lot of Chinese EVs do look impressive on paper. They even feel convincing when touched. But when it comes to driving them, some say that the driving experience doesn’t necessarily keep up with the rest of the car. Good news, though. That ain’t the case here with the Zeekr 007.
