Update (29 May 2026): ‘Price & UK Release’ section updated.
The Zeekr 7X is an all-electric five-seat mid-size SUV developed on the SEA modular platform. The model went on sale in select European markets in summer 2025 and is to enter the UK market in late 2026, according to a report from Autocar.
The 7X is offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. We spent time with the model in a global specification, and the following sections outline our impressions.
Design
At the front, the Zeekr 7X sports a closed front fascia with a clamshell-style bonnet. Slim LED daytime running lights span the front, while the main headlamp units sit above, with matrix LED high-beam elements positioned at the outer edges of the black trim bar.
From the side, the 7X takes on a clean profile with flush door handles, a floating roof design, and frameless doors. Lower trims are equipped with 19-inch aero alloy wheels, with 20-inch wheels available on select trims.
In the global market, Privilege and Performance trims receive exclusive larger 21-inch wheel designs along with a black contrast roof and rear spoiler.
At the rear, the design features a sharp LED taillight bar spanning the width of the tailgate. A roof-mounted spoiler and rear wiper are standard across all trims. The tailgate surface is smooth, with the lower edge flowing into the gloss black rear bumper section.
UK colour availability has not yet been confirmed. In Europe, standard paint is white, with black, grey, and forest green available as optional finishes, although forest green is not offered on the base trim. In China, additional colours include blue, orange, and light bronze.
Interior
Inside, the Zeekr 7X is equipped with a 16-inch central touchscreen that serves as the primary infotainment display, paired with a 13-inch digital instrument cluster.
An optional 36.2-inch augmented reality head-up display is also available. Two wireless phone charging pads and multiple USB-C ports for both front and rear occupants are standard across the range.
European-spec models feature black interior surfaces, with textile upholstery on lower and mid trims, while the top trim uses Nappa leather and PU materials with perforated sections. In the Chinese market, the interior is also offered in a light purple and white colour theme.
Optional features include power-operated front and rear doors, heated and ventilated front seats, and front seat massage functions when equipped with the Comfort Package.
Experience in the Zeekr 7X
Getting into the Zeekr 7X starts with a small button on the B-pillar that releases the door. Once inside, the cabin feels close to the luxury class in terms of materials, finish, and first impressions.
Even for a six-footer, back support feels very strong, shoulder support is good, and the adjustable headrests add comfort. Headroom is generous, and under-thigh support feels very good. Visibility around the cabin feels good, and the steering wheel feels chunky in hand, with a flat-top and flat-bottom shape.
The centre console includes adjustable cupholders, a large storage area, and a comfortable armrest. The displays look sharp, feel responsive, and the screen layout is easy to browse through.
There are no physical air-conditioning buttons. Temperature control and seat ventilation settings sit within the touchscreen, which is not my favourite feature. A volume dial is present, and drive mode controls sit separately.
With the front seat set for a six-foot occupant, rear access feels easy. The rear seat feels comfortable even for a six-footer. The rear backrests recline electrically, but the default angle feels relaxed. The rear side cushions are angled outward, and provide a cocooning feel.
Headroom, shoulder support, and back support remain strong in the second row, while Zeekr should aim to further reduce floor height in future iterations to accommodate tall occupants more comfortably.
Rear passengers also get USB charging ports. Air vents are mounted on the pillars, and there is an extra cubby at the back of the centre console where vents would typically sit. A fold-down centre armrest includes cupholders and a small storage section, which is useful for longer drives.
Specifications
Globally, the Zeekr 7X is offered with two battery options with entry-level trims using a 75 kWh battery, while Long Range and Performance/Privilege trims feature a 100 kWh battery.
Using a 360 kW DC fast charger, the base trim can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 13 minutes, while Long Range and Performance variants require around 16 minutes. With a 22 kW AC home charger, it takes 4.5-5.5 hours for 0-100% SoC.
Manufacturer-estimated driving range for base trims is approximately 298 miles, increasing to around 337 miles for the Privilege model and up to 382 miles (WLTP) for the Long Range rear-wheel-drive version.
Core and Long Range models use a single rear-mounted electric motor producing 421 hp (310 kW) and 440 Nm (324.5 lb-ft) of torque. Performance and Privilege models add a front motor for all-wheel drive, delivering a combined output of 646 hp (475 kW) and 710 Nm (523.6 lb-ft) of torque, with a claimed 0-62 mph time of 3.8 seconds.
Price & UK Release
European pricing currently starts at approximately €49,900 (around £43,265) in the Netherlands for the Premium rear-wheel-drive model.

The UK line-up is expected to centre on the 7X SUV and the 001 shooting brake, with the newer 7GT potentially joining the range.
According to an Auto Express report published on 24 May 2026, Zeekr Europe CEO Lothar Schupet said the company was already working on right-hand-drive adaptation and UK homologation for its European EV line-up. Zeekr is targeting a UK customer deliveries beginning in early 2027, and considers it a priority market.
