OK...thanks for that clarification...now I understand. Yeap, the Zeekr 7X models do not have door "gap" seals; just the standard door jamb seals. But hey, every vehicle I've owned over my life has never had any door gap seals (but I've never owned a MB or Audi). Like my current 2009 Toyota Fortuner and 2023 BYD Atto which do not have door gap seals; just the standard door jamb double seals. I expect door gap seals do help in keeping dust and water out of the door jamb area, specifically, the area where a person's pants/dress can brush against when getting into or out of the car. But it's the door jamb seals that keep water from getting into the cabin...preaching to the choir I know. Back in late 2011 during the big flood here in Thailand I had to drive my Fortuner thru approx 0.75 meter to 1 meter deep water for around 800 meters between my western Bangkok home and my moobaan gate to escape the rapidly rising water...had to go live with the MIL in a nearby province for a month until the water receded. During that 800 meters drive at times the water was to the top of my tires/half way up the doors....not a drop of water got into the cabin area. I still remember as I driving out, as I was plowing thru the water at 10kmh I was hoping the Fortuner didn't stall and I also kept looking down at the floorboard to see if any water was leaking into the cabin--none did. That's a memory is burnt into my brain until I die. The 7X interior definitely feels "very roomy"...that's another reason I like it. A Zeekr 7X is definitely on my short list for my next EV, specifically the 7X Long Range (100KWH NMC battery) version since that model doesn't come with automatic doors or air suspension in Thailand which are nice features but could be problematic and expensive to repair down the road. The 7X Standard comes with 75KWH LFP battery...maybe I should give more serious thought to the Standard model. I wish the Long Range model came with a LFP battery instead of NMC. Plus Zeekr does not offer (at least yet) a lifetime battery/drive motor warranty for Thailand...some googling indicates Zeekr has offered lifetime or extended free battery warranty on a promotional basis in other countries/regions. Zeekr comes with CATL batteries which seem to be top-notch, VERY fast charging batteries....of course being able to charge at over 400KW on long trips with the 7X CATL batteries doesn't mean much when the great, great majority of chargers in Thailand are 120-180KW chargers, a person rarely does long trips, or a person doesn't mind extra charging time when taking a bathroom/stretch your legs/feed your face break. Hard telling where the wind will finally end-up blowing me to for my next EV but my current Atto 3 will remain with me as my 2nd car (plus I got the lifetime battery/motor warranty for the Atto). And new/updated models always being released makes that wind turbulent which can suddenly blow a person in a completely different direction. I will probably run into some of those turbulent winds when I attend the upcoming 25 Mar-5 Apr Motor Show and can see/touch/smell MANY different brands and models all in one place. 😄
