Video Summary
The Zeekr X is a prestige electric SUV, smaller than a Tesla Model Y and rival to the Volvo EX30. Its design originates in Sweden, it’s manufactured in China, and sold in Australia. The exterior features intriguing LED running lights on a bonnet reminiscent of a Porsche SUV. Its rear has strip LED tail lights and a squashed-looking back window. The rear quarter panel design is unconventional and asymmetrical. The car's frameless doors have recessed touch-sensor handles.The interior features brushed metal buttons to open the doors, with a skyline silhouette of the Chinese city of Hangzhou dotted into the fabric of the doors. It has mauve and rose trim, high-quality surfaces, slotted blue ice block light strips, and a squircle steering wheel. There are touches like mauve-colored seatbelts and pull tabs with embossed lettering.
It has a high price, offset by very good standard features. The test car is the all-wheel-drive variant. The X has 20-inch alloy wheels, a two-tone body color, and a panoramic glass roof. It boasts an “intelligent” B-pillar, displays car information, and welcomes the driver. Inside, there's a 14.6-inch media display, 24.3-inch head-up display, 13-speaker Yamaha stereo, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SatNav, dual-zone climate control, and wireless phone charging. The power-adjustable front seats are heated and ventilated. There is no glovebox, but clever storage has been added.
Standard features include a key fob with proximity unlocking and a business card-style key. It has a auto proximity locking and unlocking system.
Small SUVs aren't typically the most practical. The Zeekr X has more space on board than one might think. The X drives comfortably and is easy to drive. Power output of the all-wheel-drive model is 315kW. Acceleration is outrageous, at 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds, faster than a Porsche 911. It has excellent handling. The cabin is exceptionally quiet, with very few rattles or squeaks.
It offers an estimated range of 470 kilometers, somewhat less than the rear-wheel-drive version, and the maximum charge rate is 150kW, capable of charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. This video reviewer rated the vehicle an 8.4 out of 10.
