    Saw it as an Erlkönig a few months ago in Erlangen, Germany with Spanish license plates. Was very uncertain if it was a redesigned Cupra Born or something else. Then I saw the Zeekr and had to Google it to find out. Interesting but the design of the rear is imo a miss. But it is evident that the Chinese are starting to infiltrate the European market with whatever that means for the competition...

    The Zeekr X, Volvo EX30 and Smart #1 aren't siblings. They're 3 cars from different brands working off the same platform (two brands are owned by Geely, yes, but they are distinct brands). Polestar and Volvo are sibling brands because Polestar was spun off from Volvo and they share so much. Zeekr and Lynk and Co. are sibling brands as Zeekr is a sort of premium BEV brand that shares with Lynk and Co. Whereas Smart is a Mercedes brand that has a joint venture with Geely, hence the use of the SEA platform that links the 3 cars together.
    What's on top of that platform and the tuning of the chassis is bound to be different. From a design standpoint, the Smart is a Mercedes design, the Volvo is traditional yet modernized Volvo Scandinavian room and Zeekr is something different. It's designed in Sweden but looks like it was intended for the Chinese market first. I don't expect these cars to drive and feel like the same car. I expect the Mercedes to have the most compliant ride with decent handling, the Volvo to have the firmest ride with competent handling and I don't know what Zeekr brings. I'm trying to figure out the point of this brand in what it may offer. Is it premium content for value? Maybe. Zeekr has to build their dealer and service network and we'll see what they are in time. It does sound like they've put together an appealing car overall though it seems Thomas found the Smart to be smoother and more fluid.

      @@bavariancarenthusiast2722 Yes. That's part of the platform. In BEVs, motors and drive trains don't matter in defining the car as it does in an ICE or ICE/hybrid vehicles. I do think Volvo is working on their own in-house motors, however, and I know they're writing their own software. I don't think it applies to this car, however. Not yet, anyway.

      Yep same, the Zeeker pretty much fixed all the issues I had with the EX30. They went too far down on scrapping things in the EX30 imho, it just felt/came of as cheap/cost saving all over the place. This actually looks good, has a HUD even with nav, has a small instrument panel which I do prefer, has a bigger screen, in a proper orientation that makes sense for nav, higher power USB-C, the doors look much better, with control on them. My only complaint would really be that I prefer a normal roof, not a glass one.

      Geely doesn't slap Volvo badges on some other car that isn't designed and engineered by people at Volvo Cars. That's not how the Volvo/Geely relationship works. Volvo is very particular about the look/feel of their cars. Volvos are designed and engineered by Volvo, not by another brand. Volvo can choose to use a certain common format in the group, but they still are the ones responsible for the content of their cars. To think Geely just puts any badge on any brand in their group is fallacious.

      I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess they wanted to simplify the opening and didn't want people complaining about an overly large flap if they kept it the same size. The chinese market car has two charging ports side to side so it needs a larger flap while the european CCS plug has the extra pins under the main plug and thus requires less horizontal space.

    I am assuming the reason you can't have the sliding infotainment screen to passenger side in Europe is because it would completely block the airbag or even worse in a crash have the airbag turn the screen into a projectile weapon.
