by Chinese Electric Car Zeekr 001 Receives Armored Version
In Brazil, where the crime rate remains high, the demand for armored cars is constantly growing. Now, the Chinese electric car Zeekr 001 is entering this market in a special protected version. This is the first time this model has received armor.
Externally, the armored Zeekr 001 looks like a regular car but has reinforced body panels, bulletproof windows, and a stronger panoramic roof. Although the company manufacturing the armor is not disclosed, such modifications are usually made to protect important persons.
Technical Features of the Model
Brazil is a world leader in the number of armored cars among civilians. Even popular models like the Toyota Corolla and Hilux are offered here in protected versions directly from the factory.
The Zeekr 001 was initially positioned as a fast and comfortable premium-class electric car. Now its functionality is expanded with safety features, making it even more attractive for markets with high risks. It is worth noting that armor significantly increases the vehicle’s weight, which may affect dynamic performance and range.
