Geelyโs premium brand, Zeekr, has completed its Ministry of Industry and Information Technology filing in China for the 7X mid-size SUV and is anticipated to launch in August/ September. The company has filed three versions: a 310kW single-motor rear-wheel drive with an LFP battery, a 310kW single-motor rear-wheel drive with a ternary lithium battery, and a 165/310kW dual-motor all-wheel drive with a ternary lithium battery.
The 7X continues with the same three-electric system as the Zeekr 007 sedan (see specs). The LFP battery is the 75 kWh โGolden Brickโ battery developed by Zeekr, while the ternary lithium battery is the 100 kWh Ningde Kirin battery. The vehicle measures 4825mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 1656mm in height, with a 2925mm wheelbase, and offers an optional single-chamber air suspension. Additional options include a roof rack, LiDAR, a two-tone roof, and a tow hook.
As the launch date nears, new interior images of the 7X have surfaced. The black interior shows significant changes in the central console and door panels. Unlike the 007โs streamlined central console, the 7Xโs console includes dual 50W wireless fast charging at the front, a hidden cup holder at the rear, and a large, thick armrest box, likely housing a rear refrigerator. The genuine leather seats feature a different pattern from the 007, with fuller backrest padding for better support, suiting its family SUV positioning.
The door panels feature a new design with more extensive ambient lighting and dedicated storage areas. The 7Xโs interior boasts numerous storage spaces, reflecting a practical and thoughtful design. The central control screen, although displaying โZeekr 001,โ is, in fact, a test system. The OLED horizontal screen has additional physical buttons for five functions and a gear selector.
While the rear cabin remains undisclosed, reports suggest it will surpass the comfort levels of the Zeekr 001. Expected features include ventilated and heated seats with massage functions, rear entertainment screens, leg rests, footrests, zero-gravity seat mode, and window sunshades.
The 7Xโs exterior continues the new family design language introduced with the 007. It features a distinctive front face with a continuous light strip, clamshell hood, and frameless exterior mirrors. The 7X includes AGS active intake grilles, retractable door handles, and a continuous tail light design.
Chassis-wise, the 7X retains the 007โs materials and structure but offers optional air suspension for improved handling and comfort. Intelligent driving features include versions with advanced driver assistance systems, as well as LiDAR for urban NZP (Navigation on Pilot).
The Zeekr 7X is poised to rival the Model Y, Xiaomi MX11 SUV, Li Auto L6, and Onvo L60. The 7X will focus on innovation, comfort, and performance, with prices expected to range between 240,000 and 350,000 yuan ($33,000 โ $48,200).
