The first Zeekr Xs are arriving in Australia, with deliveries expected in late 2024 or early 2025.
Arriving in Sydney this week, the Zeekr X will be one of the first two models from the Geely-owned electric vehicle (EV) brand to launch in Australia, likely after the launch of the 009 people moved.
Zeekr locked down production of the X crossover for Australia earlier this month, after the first right-hand drive models rolled off the production line in China.
The Zeekr X is based on the same Sustainable Experience Architecture as a range of Geely models, incl Volvo EX30 And Crossover number 01 and number 03 of Smart – all three of these products are either on sale in Australia now or are expected to launch before the end of the year.
It has almost identical dimensions BYD Atto 34432mm long and 2025mm wide (including mirrors) on a 2750mm wheelbase.
European versions are offered with a choice of 200kW/343Nm single-motor rear-wheel drive or 315kW/543Nm dual-motor all-wheel drive, with published WLTP range 446km and 425km respectively.
Power is provided by a 69kWh lithium-ion battery, which can be charged at up to 150kW on a DC fast charger.
Inside the cabin, the car has an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 24.3-inch augmented reality display.
The Zeekr X is priced from €44,990 (A$73,680) in Germany, identical to the Zeekr X. Tesla Y model.
In Australia, the Model Y starts at $55,990 before on-road costs, while the Volvo EX30 starts at $59,990 before on-road costs. It is unclear where Zeekr will be priced.
