Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Zeekr has unveiled the Zeekr 7X family SUV in Europe, marking its third offering on the continent following the Zeekr 001 shooting brake and the Zeekr X compact SUV. Pre-sales for the model have officially begun in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway, with customer deliveries expected in the summer of 2025.
The Zeekr 7X starts at 52,990 euros ($55,710) in the Netherlands, 529,000 Swedish kronor ($48,240) in Sweden, and 539,900 Norwegian kronor ($48,360) in Norway.
The model, launched in China in September 2023, offers three variants and is the second mainstream EV model from Zeekr following the Zeekr 007 sedan. Prices in Europe are higher due to factors like tariffs and transportation costs, with the Chinese versions priced between RMB 229,900 ($31,570) and RMB 269,900 ($37,140).
Lothar Schupet, Zeekr Europe’s Chief Commercial Officer, emphasized the model’s importance, saying, “The Zeekr 7X will play a key role in our mission to accelerate the shift to sustainable mobility in Europe.” Built on Zeekr’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, the 7X is available in three variants in Europe: Premium, Long Range, and Performance.
The Premium and Long Range models feature a single motor with outputs of 310 kW (421 PS) and 440 Nm, with ranges of 480 km and 615 km respectively. The Performance model, a dual-motor setup, boasts a total output of 470 kW (639 PS), an instantaneous torque of 710 Nm, and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.
The vehicle features an 800 V high-voltage architecture, allowing for fast charging. Using common 360 kW fast chargers, the Premium model can be charged from 10-80% in just 13 minutes, while the Long Range and Performance models take 16 minutes.
Zeekr’s expansion efforts continue globally, with the company now present in over 40 international markets. In Europe, it began pre-sales for the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X in June 2023, with deliveries starting in December 2023.
The company also announced a significant increase in deliveries, reporting a 106% year-on-year increase in November, with a total of 27,011 vehicles delivered. Zeekr aims to deliver 230,000 vehicles globally by the end of 2024.
