There's no comparison: Mercedes has spent 140 years creating genuine marvels of automotive engineering, while ZEEKR has been around for, at most, four years — they can't be compared.

Too expensive! To justify it with technology that's equal or inferior.

Very bad impression of customer service. New car delivered with dashboard errors, dealership unable to fix the problem for 2 months, no response from customer service despite 4 messages... this scares me for what’s to come....

The Sealion is better finished and of higher quality. But it has higher consumption and charges noticeably slower.
