First European markets for the model – designed in Sweden – are the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway.
Geely’s Zeekr brand is launching a third all-electric vehicle in Europe: the Zeekr 7X, described as a premium electric five-seater SUV designed for global families. It is available now for order in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway, with the first customer deliveries expected in summer 2025.
The Zeekr 7X was designed and developed by Zeekr Design and Technology center in Gothenburg, and supported by Zeekr European Marketing, Sales & Service HQ in Amsterdam. Zeekr said it was co-created with direct input from customers and offers ‘innovative, intuitive technology, together with long range, and ultra-fast charging’.
With worldwide sales of more than 400,000 vehicles, Zeekr says the 7X will drive continued strategic growth.
Zeekr Europe Chief Commercial Officer, Lothar Schupet, said: “Following the success of the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X, we are very proud to introduce our third electric vehicle to the European market. The Zeekr 7X will redefine expectations in the midsize family SUV segment, and with its exceptional range and ultra-fast charging capabilities, will make the transition to electric driving seamless and stress-free for our customers. This launch represents another significant milestone in our commitment to customer-focused technology and innovation and reinforces our strategic expansion: the Zeekr 7X will play a key role in our mission to accelerate the shift to sustainable mobility in Europe.”
Created in Zeekr’s global design centre in Gothenburg, the 7X uses the same SEA modular vehicle architecture as the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X.
Zeekr says the car has been developed with the capabilities of a software defined vehicle in mind and leverages what is described as the ‘incredible processing speed of Qualcomm’s 8295 Snapdragon chip’ – the fastest in any Zeekr yet.
Zeekr claims the new AI-driven ZeekrGPT voice technology enables drivers to change climate control settings, for example, or enter a destination in the navigation, while keeping hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Further, Zeekr says the integrated Zeekr Places app enables drivers to find information at their fingertips; from charging stations to promotions at favourite restaurants, thanks to location-based technology that offers real-time, contextual information about the surrounding environment.
Complementing these smart technologies is a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems, facilitated by 11 cameras and 1 radar system. Designed to support the driver and make driving safer and more comfortable in a wide range of conditions, they include moving object and pedestrian display in the instrument cluster or AR-HUD, Adaptive Cruise Control, 3D Digital Surround View Monitoring, Front- and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Full Automatic Park Assist.
To further enhance the ownership experience, over-the-air software updates will ensure that features continue to improve over time, and new functionality can be added.
The Zeekr 7X has 800V system voltages to enable ultra-fast charging, improve energy efficiency, and reduce weight. The battery pack is located beneath the vehicle floor, lowering the centre of gravity and maximising cabin and luggage compartment space. Premium models use Zeekr’s cost-efficient Golden battery, a 75kWh pack with LFP cells, while Long Range and Performance models have 100kWh packs with NMC cells, chosen for their greater energy density.
A 22kW on-board AC charger is standard, which enables customers with a 22kW home wallbox to replenish the battery from 10-100% in 4.5 hours for the Premium model, or 5.5 hours for the Long Range and Performance models – perfect for overnight charging and special EV electricity pricing, Zeekr says.
The brand claims the 800V electrical architecture means that the Zeekr 7X is future-proofed for advances in public charging, and is capable of 480kW DC. Using the 360kW fast chargers commonly available today, the Zeekr 7X Premium can achieve 10-80% in just 13 minutes, and 16 minutes for Long Range and Performance models, the brand claims.
5+5 year warranty
Reflecting Zeekr’s exceptional quality standards, all models, including the new Zeekr 7X, come with a 5+5 year warranty, comprising cover for the first five years or 100,000km. This can then be extended for up to a further five years – and an overall total of 200,000km – when scheduled servicing is carried out in the Zeekr Service network. The high voltage battery is protected by an eight-year or 200,000km warranty, whichever comes first.
