China’s Zeekr is stepping up its game in Australia’s electric SUV market with its latest offering – the Zeekr 7X mid-size SUV, priced aggressively from $57,900 before on-road costs.
Available in three variants and backed by the might of Geely (which also owns Volvo, Polestar and Lotus), the Zeekr 7X is now open for pre-orders, with customer deliveries expected from October 2025.
Three variants, generous early-bird offers
Prices for the Zeeker 7X are listed as follows:
| Model | Price (Before On-Road Costs) |
| Zeekr 7X RWD | $57,900 |
| Zeekr 7X Long Range RWD | $63,900 |
| Zeekr 7X Performance AWD | $72,900 |
The first 1000 customers of this new electric SUV will receive a 7kW home charger, Type 2 and portable charging cables, and no additional charges for paint or interior options.
Performance and battery specifications
| Specification | Zeekr 7X RWD | Zeekr 7X Long Range RWD | Zeekr 7X Performance AWD |
| Battery Type | Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) | Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) | Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) |
| Battery Capacity | 75kWh | 100kWh | 100kWh |
| Power | 310kW | 310kW | 475kW |

| 0–100km/h | N/A | N/A | 3.8 seconds |
| WLTP Range | 480km | 615km | 543km |
The top-spec Zeekr 7X variant also includes active air suspension with up to 45mm of ride height adjustment and a dedicated off-road mode.
Rapid charging capabilities
The Zeekr 7X has an 800V system that supports 450kW DC fast charging, enabling a 10–80% top-up in as little as 13 minutes on the base RWD and around 16 minutes for the other two variants (when using high-output chargers).
Home charging with a 22kW AC wallbox takes around 4.5 hours for the RWD and 5.5 hours for the 100kWh models.
Smart design and everyday practicality
Dimensionally, the 7X measures 4787mm in length, 1650mm in height, and sits on a 2900mm wheelbase, slightly shorter than a Tesla Model Y, but with a longer wheelbase. Boot capacity stands at 539 litres at the rear, with an additional 62-litre front trunk.
In terms of design, it has a sleek and upmarket aesthetic, but like most new-age EVs from China, it has little character.
Tech-heavy interior
The feature set for the Zeekr 7X electric SUV complements the minimalistically styled cabin with powerful processing power. Some of the key highlights include:
- Qualcomm 8295 intelligent cabin computing platform
- 13.02-inch high-definition cockpit cluster
- 16-inch 3.5K Mini-LED central screen
- 36.21-inch Heads-up Display (HUD)
- ZEEKR Sound 10-speaker audio system
- ZEEKR Sound Pro 21-speaker 7.1.4 audio system
- Dual 50W wireless chargers
- Tri-zone HVAC
- Apple CarPlay + Android Auto
- 4-zone voice command system
Comprehensive safety and OTA updates
Equipped with 12 cameras and a radar system, the Zeekr 7X safety suite includes:
- Adaptive cruise control
- 3D surround-view camera
- Cross-traffic alerts
- Full Automatic Park Assist
Zeekr also supports over-the-air software updates, promising future enhancements and new features long after purchase.
Global momentum and local ambitions
With more than 520,000 EVs sold globally since its 2021 debut, Zeekr is rapidly expanding. The 7X will join the Zeekr X compact SUV and the 009 people mover in Australia, as the brand looks to shake up the premium EV segment with value-packed, tech-forward models.
