The Zeekr 7X is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Zeekr since 2024. The model occupies the Chinese B-class SUV category (D-segment globally).[3]
History
The 7X debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2024, with pre-sales starting soon after. Within 20 days, 58,429 orders were placed. The model entered production on 17 September 2024.[4] Deliveries in China started by the end of September 2024, with global deliveries planned for 2025. The vehicle is positioned to compete with electric SUVs such as the Tesla Model Y and XPeng G6.[5]
Design
The Zeekr 7X is built on Geely's Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) 800V platform shared with the similar Zeekr 007, its sedan counterpart. It features Zeekr's "Hidden Energy" design language. One of the distinguishing element of this design language is the front lights that form the Zeekr Stargate interactive LCD, which is capable of projecting messages and images.
Features
The Zeekr 7X is available with three interior colour schemes: purple and white, black and grey, and pure black. The seats are made from Nappa full-grain leather, equipped with up to 14 functions including heating, ventilation, and six massage settings. The rear seats have adjustable rake, extendable leg rests, and heating and ventilation features, which are controlled through an LED screen in the fold-down armrest. Its boot has a capacity of 765 L, expandable to 1978 L with the seats down, along with a 62 L front storage compartment (frunk).
The interior is equipped with a 16-inch infotainment screen, a 13.5-inch instrument panel, and a 36-inch augmented reality head-up display. Rear passengers have access to 13-inch 2.5K OLED screens for entertainment. The vehicle's infotainment system is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 automotive chip. The gear selector is located on a steering wheel column-mounted stalk rather than on the center console like other Zeekr models.[6]
Zeekr claims the 7X is the world's first pure electric SUV to conquer Bilutu Peak, the highest fixed dune on Earth. The vehicle's air suspension is able to raise its ground clearance to 230 mm.[5]
Facelift (MY2026)
The 2026 model year facelift was launched in China on 28 October 2025. The update introduces slightly redesigned front and rear end styling with an updated powertrain. The front bumper has been modified to add air ducts at the outboard ends to serve as air curtains to reduce drag, and the lighting cluster now includes teal autonomous driving indicator lights, while the rear sees the license plate relocated from the rear bumper to the tailgate. The updated 7X long-range variants are now based on a 900 V architecture that enables a charging time of 10 minutes from 10 to 80% state of charge. The top of the line 103 kWh AWD Ultra model now produces 795 hp-metric and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 2.98 seconds. The 103 kWh RWD Max model has the longest range at 802 km (CLTC).[7][8][9]
Safety
The Zeekr 7X is equipped with the Haohan 2.0 advanced driver-assistance system, also used in the Zeekr 007, that utilises Lidar and supports forward autonomous emergency braking (AEB) functionality up to 120 km/h. It also supports urban driving with twin Nvidia Orin X chips that provides 508 trillions of operations per second (TOPS) of computing power. The vehicle also introduced an industry-first feature that allows users to quickly and easily break the windows by pressing a hidden button in case of an emergency, and the world's first child smart seat with active airbags.[10]

The single-motor version of the Zeekr 7X features a 310 kW electric motor on the rear axle, while the all-wheel-drive version adds a 165 kW motor to the front axle for a total output of 475 kW.[6]
The 75 kWh battery uses Zeekr's 5.5C lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery produced by Viridi E-Mobility Technology (VREMT), an affiliate of Geely Holding, which is capable of charging from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes. The range for the single-motor version is 605 km under CLTC standards, with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 5.8 seconds. The 100 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery is developed by CATL and branded as the Qilin battery, which can charge from 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. It offers a range of up to 780 km in the single-motor version, with a slightly faster acceleration of 5.7 seconds. The dual-motor version has a reduced range of 705 km, and is able to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.[6]
Update (2026)
For the 2026 model year, the 7X received significant updates to its powertrain. The rear motor on all models was updated to a 375 kW unit, and all-wheel drive models receive an upgraded 215 kW front motor for a total of 784 hp. The base 75 kWh battery carries over unchanged, but the long range variants have been upgraded to use a 900 V architecture with a slightly increased battery capacity of 103 kWh. This gives the longer range models 6C charging capabilities, with a 10–80% charge time of 10 minutes. Due to the powertrain updates and aerodynamic changes to the front bumper, all models achieve faster 0–100 km/h acceleration times and top speeds, and increased range, with the longest range variant now achieving 802 km on the CLTC cycle.[7][8][20][21]
