ZEEKR Responds to Cadillac's Move and Addresses 'Iteration' Issue

TapTechNews August 15th news, recently after the release of the 2025 ZEEKR 001, due to the interval between the two 'iterations' being less than half a year, it has caused dissatisfaction among old car owners, and they have been刷屏 in the live broadcast room asking ZEEKR to refund the money.

And last night, the Cadillac official Weibo released a poster with the content of 'Instant replacement, not afraid of being sharpened by grinding three swords in a year, giving you the confidence of an 80% value retention in three years'. In addition to the fact that 'Instant and ZEKR are homophones, the English below is only one character different from ZEEKR's English name (TapTechNews note: the English name of ZEEKR is ZEKR).

But the Cadillac official Weibo later deleted this Weibo. Also last night, Zhu Ling, the vice president of ZEEKR Intelligent Technology, posted a text. Judging from the key words such as 'Detroit', 'a hero in his twilight years', and 'classic', it is clearly responding隔空 to Cadillac's 'implication' of its own brand.

Originally didn't want to respond, but there are always netizens @ me. A hero in his twilight years, the afterglow of the setting sun. Once was a classic, but ultimately the former wave. In the electric era, China is rising, and Detroit's glory is no more. The entry-level version of ZEEKR 007 only costs 20.99W as standard, with a single motor of 310 KW, double orin, lidar, 8295... Faster than you, more intelligent than you, younger than you, and more affordable than you... Time won't go backwards, history won't go backwards, see you in my mirror

Regarding the 'too fast iteration' and other events yesterday, ZEEKR responded that in the era of the rapid development of China's new energy vehicles, the continuous progress and iteration of technology is a must-choice for all participating brands. ZEEKR always strives to provide users with the most competitive products at present, and also hopes to quickly give the latest technology to users as soon as possible to bring a better experience. The launch of new products is based on the rhythm of market demand and product development, the launch of the self-developed intelligent driving version is also in response to the voices of users, providing users with an additional choice of intelligent driving solutions. The MobileyeSuperVision solution and the Haohan intelligent driving are two different solutions provided by ZEEKR for 001 users, and customers can choose different intelligent driving solutions according to their own needs. The models of the MobileyeSuperVision solution will also continue to be updated.
