The Zeekr 7X debuted on cue at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 30. Deliveries in the Chinese market will begin by the end of September, and deliveries overseas will begin within a year.
Zeekr has made it clear that the 7X (see specs) has been designed very much with global markets in mind.
The brand’s first midsize electric SUV measures 4825, 1930, and 2925 mm (l/w/h).
Using an 800V architecture version of Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, the car has a wheelbase of 2925 mm.
It should be noted that the 7X is relatively heavy, with curb weights in the 2298 – 2475 kg range.
Flowing across the front of the car is the Zeekr Stargate interactive LCD display, which can project messages and images.
At the rear, the car uses a through-type tail light.
Buyers have a choice of four colors: Arctic White, Dawn Brown, Nightfall Gray, and Polar Night Black. Supporting the SUV are 19 or 20-inch wheels.
A midsize SUV, it is a five-seater and is aimed at families.
Given the car’s dimensions, it should be quite roomy inside.
There are 32 storage compartments, conveniently storing items from sunglasses to lipstick.
The trunk space is 616 liters, which Zeekr says is enough for camping.
The interior has the fairly standard two-screen layout. For the Zeekr 7X, this means a large floating infotainment screen and an LCD instrument panel, which is fully integrated into the dashboard.
Powering the car’s entertainment system is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip. The 7X has a four-spoke steering wheel.
Second-row passengers benefit from airline-style tray tables that fold from the backs of the front seats.
The highest spec models appear also to get rear entertainment screens. Rear passengers also gain heated and ventilated seats on higher spec versions controlled via a touch screen on the fold-down armrest.
