Zeekr X Review Summary:- Two versions are available in Australia with an $8,000 price difference at launch.
- The entry-level rear-wheel drive model costs $56,900 plus on-roads.
- It comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, two-tone exterior paint, a panoramic sunroof, vehicle-to-load functionality, semi-autonomous parking, a 14.6-inch touchscreen media system, an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, auto-dimming rearview mirror, sentry mode, pet mode, and rest mode.
- For an additional $4,000, buyers can get a convenience pack.
- The all-wheel-drive top-spec version has the entry-level features standard, plus 20-inch alloy wheels, and a 24.3-inch augmented reality head-up display.
- The Volvo EX30 and Hyundai Kona Electric are alternatives for compact EVs in this price range. The Renault Megane E-Tech is an alternative electric hatchback.
- The car has a sweet-spot size that’s approximately 4.4 meters in length.
- Some find the front design unappealing, likening the bumper section to Salvador Dali's mustache.
- The profile is more appealing, especially the clever door handles which are easy to use.
- The boot isn’t massive with only 362 litres capacity, but has a hidden storage section.
- Has an app that adjusts car functions remotely, and it is easy to use.
- A five-star ANCAP safety rating for the 2024 tests has been achieved.
- It has safety features like autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection and lane-keeping assist with adaptive cruise control.
- Driver monitoring camera is a feature that can be distracting to the driver.
- Standard warranty is 5-year/unlimited km, and the battery warranty is 8-year/160,000 km. First service cost is $690.
- Offers a high-end, luxurious interior feel, though certain design elements might be strange or unusual.
- The rear passengers get a nice big glass roof for good headroom.
- Is fast (the reviewer was thrown back in his seat) but not all drivers may want or need that level of speed.
