Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review:
The Zeekr X RWD costs $56,900 AUD (about $35,000 USD). Its parent company Geely owns Volvo and Polestar. The Zeekr X shares a platform with the Volvo EX30 and the Smart car. All exterior colors are free of charge, and the design turns heads. It has a cluster of LEDs up top and headlights are located in the bottom sections with an arrow feature on the sides. It has piano black on the wheel arches. The wheels are 19-inch alloys with a machined finish and piano black inside. An optional convenience package available adds Driver seat memory, six-way power front passenger seat, 4-way power lumbar support for the front seats, driver and front passenger seat heating, a heated steering wheel, a 13-Speaker Yamaha surround stereo, and ice-block LED ambient lighting. It shares a platform with the Tesla Model Y. Inside, the reviewer likes the screens, including a small one in front of the driver, noting it has the features a Tesla does. There's manual seat adjustment for the passenger, seat heating is extra. Soft-touch points are good and he has a durometer used to measure the doors and other spots. The center stack feels very solid. There's an okay 7 speaker sound system, an impressive 60-watt USB-C charger, and a wireless charger capable of 50w. There's no glovebox. It has a 15-inch infotainment screen, that has Spotify, Smartphone Mirroring, voice recognition, DAB/FM radio. One problem is it won’t default back to carplay sometimes. It does have the USB-C Charger port up front. The car comes with both a prox sense key and a card option. There is a phone app. It has auto-dimming rear vision mirror and blind spot monitor. Semi-autonomous driving tech includes adaptive cruise control with lane support, and auto lane changing. The WTLP driving range is about 440 KM. 0-100 KMH came in at 5.87 seconds. 80 to 120 KMH at 3.94 seconds. The brake rating came in a 2.79 in stopping 100-0 in seconds. Rear cross traffic alerts and 360-degree camera as well. Good body control; though it could use better tuning. The rear seat has okay knee room, but a lack of toe room, but the headroom is not too bad. Only USB-C charger back there. A handle removes the module in rear. Rear middle arm rest available. The reviewer said rear visibility and comfort is minimal in the back. Rear head rests getting in the way of view. There is 64KW battery capacity, It’s an NCM battery only charge to 80%-90%. Features 7.2 KW A.C. charging and 150 KW D.C. Max average 111 KW. A tiny 15 L Frunk is available for charge cables. It can fit 1 medium suitcase to the trunk. However, the trunk volume is only 362 L. With seats down, the total is 1,182L. The reviewer states that it felt good and very secure in the lane tests, and had lively rear will drive feel. Final Verdict: It’s a bit too expensive for its size and spec level. Other models deliver better value.
