Zeekr, the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, has recently introduced its latest model in Europe, the Zeekr 7X electric SUV. This new addition to the lineup is built on a more advanced 800-volt platform, making it a strong competitor in the EV market. The 7X is similar in size to a Honda Prologue but offers enhanced features and capabilities.
With a starting price of under €53,000 ($55,650) in Europe, customers can now place their orders for the Zeekr 7X, with deliveries expected in the summer of 2025. The vehicle is built on the Geely SEA 800-volt platform, which sets it apart from its competitors. It shares similarities with the Smart #5 and offers a sedan version, the 007, which is currently only available in China.
The Zeekr 7X comes with two battery options – a 75-kilowatt-hour LFP pack with a claimed WLTP range of 298 miles (480 kilometers) or a 100-kWh NMC pack that extends the range to 382 miles (615 km). The vehicle is equipped with a single permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 416 horsepower to the rear wheels, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 6 seconds. Customers also have the option to upgrade to a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, increasing power to 637 hp and reducing the acceleration time to 3.8 seconds.
In terms of pricing, the standard model of the Zeekr 7X starts at €52,990 ($55,630) and goes up to €55,990 ($58,800) for the larger battery option. The Performance AWD version is the most expensive, starting at €62,990 ($66,150). Despite its advanced features and capabilities, the Zeekr 7X is priced competitively compared to other electric SUVs in the market.
Overall, the Zeekr 7X offers a compelling combination of performance, range, and pricing, making it a strong contender in the European EV market. With its sleek design, advanced technology, and competitive pricing, the Zeekr 7X is set to make a significant impact in the electric vehicle industry.
