ZEEKR 7X

Model Overview

The ZEEKR 7X is the first luxury large five-seater pure electric SUV developed by ZEEKR Intelligent Technology on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA), officially launched on 20 September 2024. As the brand's fifth mass-produced model, it is positioned as a mid-size smart all-electric SUV tailored for family luxury, highlighting class-above cabin space, ultra-fast charging capability, and a full suite of standard advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) across the entire range.

In terms of dimensions, the ZEEKR 7X measures 4,825 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width, and 1,666 mm in height (1,656 mm for the AWD variant), with a 2,925 mm wheelbase and an impressive cabin space utilisation rate of 83.34%. In October 2025, ZEEKR unveiled the refreshed ZEEKR 7X across three variants, priced officially between RM229,800 and RM269,800, with a limited-time promotional price starting from RM219,800 inclusive of the "Super Trade-in" package.

On the market front, the ZEEKR 7X set fresh industry delivery benchmarks post-launch, surpassing 30,000 deliveries within just 75 days, and achieving nearly 100,000 cumulative deliveries globally as of 30 September 2025. The EV has rolled out to nearly 20 countries and regions worldwide, including Hong Kong, Australia, and Europe, even dethroning the Tesla Model Y as the best-selling mid-size SUV in Hong Kong in its debut delivery month.

Design Language

The ZEEKR 7X embodies the brand's "Hidden Energy" design language, fronted by an expansive 93-inch ZEEKR Stargate integrated smart light curtain with 1,831 LED elements for a distinctive, high-tech signature. A roof-mounted LiDAR and matrix LED headlamps are fitted as standard across the range. For the 2026 model year, the overall silhouette is retained with refined touches: new smoked air curtains on either side of the front apron create a three-section layout to enhance aerodynamics and cooling, while the rear licence plate recess has been repositioned higher onto the tailgate, slimming down the rear bumper's visual mass for a sportier, more cohesive stance.

In profile, the SUV features an Arc Skyline roofline paired with a 0.618 golden ratio aesthetic, where a wide-track, low-slung stance blends athletic proportions with generous interior space. Frameless doors and flush pop-out door handles are standard, as are 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 255/50 R19 tyres. Up to seven exterior body colours are offered, including Arctic White, Dawn Brown, Twilight Grey, and Polar Night Black. Additionally, the rear doors open to nearly 90 degrees, making ingress/egress for the elderly and child seat installation remarkably effortless.

Inside, the cockpit centres around a 16-inch 3.5K Mini-LED touchscreen infotainment display, flanked by a 13.02-inch full digital instrument cluster and a massive 36.21-inch AR-HUD (Augmented Reality Head-Up Display) to form a tri-screen interface. Four dual-tone interior upholstery themes are available—Black/Purple, Black/Grey, Black/Orange, and Purple/White—alongside optional suede headlining and NAPPA leather upholstery. Tactile piano-key physical buttons are retained on the centre stack for intuitive control, while a standard physical power sunshade effectively addresses cabin heat and UV penetration typically associated with frameless glass.

Powertrain and Performance

The ZEEKR 7X is built on a full-stack 900V high-voltage architecture across most of the range (with the entry variant running on an 800V system), available in single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD configurations. The single-motor unit outputs 370 kW (approx. 503 PS), while the dual-motor setup delivers a combined system output of 585 kW (approx. 796 PS) and 800 Nm of peak torque (front motor output is not separately disclosed). The century sprint (0-100 km/h) is completed in 5.4 seconds for the 75kWh RWD Max, 5.1 seconds for the 103kWh RWD Max, and a blistering 2.98 seconds for the range-topping 103kWh AWD Ultra.

Two battery pack options are on offer: a 75 kWh Golden Battery delivering up to 620 km of CLTC range, and a 103 kWh Qilin Battery providing 802 km on the RWD Max and 715 km on the AWD Ultra. Charging speed is a standout USP: the 103 kWh variant supports 6C ultra-fast DC charging with a peak rate of 620 kW, capable of a 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) replenishment in just 10 minutes—adding roughly 570 km of range. The 75 kWh battery completes the 10-80% charge in 10.5 minutes. While charging rates drop in sub-zero climates, performance remains significantly ahead of segment rivals.

Chassis and Handling

The ZEEKR 7X boasts a high-spec chassis architecture as standard. The AWD Ultra variant comes fully equipped with adaptive air suspension and CCD continuous damping control, continuously tuning suspension stiffness in real time to suit prevailing road conditions. At its maximum ride height setting, ground clearance on the 103kWh AWD Ultra reaches up to 230 mm. The overall suspension setup strikes an adept balance between pliancy and agility, preserving road feedback while isolating harsh undulations with composure.

In terms of drivetrain layout, RWD variants feature a rear-mounted single motor, whereas AWD variants utilise a front-and-rear dual-motor setup. While official turning radius figures are undisclosed, manoeuvrability is competitive within the mid-size SUV segment. Approach and departure angles are similarly unstated, though the elevated ground clearance affords the urban-focused luxury SUV respectable light off-roading capability. Braking is handled by ventilated discs all around with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold. Automotive media comparisons have lauded the chassis refinement and suspension calibration as a well-judged compromise. While lacking the ultra-tight turning circle of rivals fitted with rear-wheel steering, the steering and damping geometry of the 7X remain purposefully tuned for everyday family practicality and ride comfort.

Cabin and Equipment

The digital cockpit is powered by a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset backed by 32GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, running the ZEEKR OS operating system. The system supports 5G connectivity, over-the-air (OTA) software updates, and continuous natural voice recognition. The onboard EVA voice assistant, driven by the Kr AI large language model, caters to multi-turn conversational inputs and interactive features for children, providing a more engaging in-car experience.

When it comes to creature comforts, the ZEEKR 7X sets a class-leading benchmark with generous standard kit. Front seats are power-adjustable with heating, ventilation, massage, and memory functions, complete with extendable under-thigh leg rests and lumbar support for both driver and front passenger; the rear bench gets standard seat heating, with optional ventilation, massage, memory, power leg rests, and fore-aft sliding adjustments, allowing the backrest to recline up to 134°. Fold-out airline-style tray tables are standard in the second row for laptops and tablets. Audiophiles are treated to a 21-speaker 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos premium surround sound setup. Other interior highlights include dual 50W wireless smartphone chargers on the floating centre console, fast-charging Type-C USB ports (60W front, 27W rear), a 5.3-litre hot/cold on-board refrigerator, tri-zone climate control, an active fragrancing system, and a PM2.5 air purifier.

Luggage utility is equally well-catered for, offering a 38-litre front trunk (frunk) and a cavernous 905-litre rear boot, expanding to a massive 1,978 litres with the 60:40 split rear seats folded flat to accommodate extensive family cargo.

Safety and Intelligent Driving

The ZEEKR 7X has earned top-tier global safety accolades, securing coveted five-star crash test ratings across three major programmes: China's C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, and Australasia's ANCAP. This makes it one of the rare "five-star grand slam" achievers in the RM200,000-bracket EV category.

On the passive safety front, the 7X incorporates ZEEKR's "Dome Armour" structural body cage, deploying 2,000 MPa submarine-grade hot-stamped ultra-high-strength steel across 10 vital load paths (including A- and B-pillars) spanning over 12 metres in total; paired with an "8-horizontal, 9-longitudinal" impact dispersion layout, torsional rigidity reaches 40,000 Nm/deg. The updated model also boasts "Ten Key Safety Innovations", including an integrated driver emergency window breaker and smart child airbag seat integration, six of which represent industry firsts.

Active safety and autonomous driving functions are anchored by the Qianli Haohan H7 ADAS suite, standard across all variants, featuring a 31-sensor suite (inclusive of roof LiDAR) driven by the NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-U autonomous computing platform delivering 700 TOPS of processing power. It supports end-to-end navigational assistance including Urban Navigation ZEEKR Pilot (NZP), door-to-door (D2D) parking-to-parking guidance, automated U-turns, roundabout navigation, and dynamic lane recognition. A 360-degree surround-view monitor is standard, with upper variants gaining a 540-degree transparent chassis view. Active safety encompasses Autonomous Emergency Braking (with vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist, and intersection collision intervention), Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Auto Braking, Driver Drowsiness Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and more. Real-world feedback highlights that Highway NOA and Urban NZP maintain refined, progressive throttle and brake modulation in heavy stop-and-go traffic, while the automated parking feature handles complex bay and parallel manoeuvres seamlessly.

Market Performance and Reception

Since its introduction, the ZEEKR 7X has sustained strong commercial momentum worldwide. In mainland China, monthly sales hit 9,792 units in February 2026, pushing 2026 year-to-date sales to 20,406 units. Internationally, Australian customer deliveries commenced on 15 October 2025, breaching 3,000 units within five months; during Q1 2026, 1,725 units were delivered Down Under, clinching the top sales spot in the AUD 65,000+ premium SUV category just eight months after market entry. In April 2026, Australian deliveries peaked at 973 units in a single month, establishing a new local record. In Hong Kong, 1,504 units were delivered between January and March 2026 (772 units in Jan-Feb alone), topping the premium SUV sales charts. Concurrently in Q1 2026, the 7X completed homologation and entered major European markets including Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France.

In the competitive arena, the ZEEKR 7X has carved out a formidable niche in the RM220,000 to RM270,000 price territory through an aggressive "all-in-as-standard" packaging philosophy, going head-to-head with the Tesla Model Y, XPeng G6, and Li L6. Automotive pundits generally agree that by bundling high-end hardware such as LiDAR, adaptive air suspension, and power rear executive seating as standard equipment, the 7X bypasses the hefty cost options traditionally imposed by legacy German marques (BBA), capturing consumer goodwill with its "high-spec as entry-level" value proposition.

To cater to diverse international requirements, the ZEEKR 7X features market-specific tuning: European variants feature an 800V electrical architecture and reinforced crash structures; Australian-spec models prioritise maximum interior room, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power supply, and enhanced ground clearance; while Middle Eastern units include high-capacity onboard refrigeration tailored for desert heat. As of 2026, ZEEKR operates in over 50 countries and regions with a network exceeding 640 global retail touchpoints, cumulative brand deliveries surpassing 750,000 units, and an average transaction value near RM350,000 across its lineup. Serving as a primary volume driver, the ZEEKR 7X spearheads the brand's global expansion ambitions into mature automotive markets.
