“Luxury, Reimagined. Meet the All-Electric Zeekr X.”
The updated model was priced for New Zealand ahead of an August 2026 arrival, in two versions. The RWD, from $59,990 plus on-road costs, has a single 250kW rear motor, reaches 100km/h in 5.6 seconds and has 405km of WLTP range. The AWD, from $69,990, adds a 115kW front motor for 365kW and 573Nm, reaching 100km/h in 3.7 seconds with 415km of range. Both versions gained 50kW over the previous model.
The RWD uses a 61kWh LFP cell-to-pack battery, the same ‘Golden Battery’ technology as the Zeekr 7X, charging at up to 230kW DC for a 10–80 per cent top-up in about 18 minutes, and 11kW on AC. The AWD uses a 66kWh NMC battery, charging at up to 150kW DC (about 30 minutes for 10–80 per cent) and 22kW on AC. Vehicle-to-Load is listed for both.
Standard equipment includes heated front and rear seats, inductive steering wheel controls, a 13-speaker YAMAHA sound system, a 14.6-inch touchscreen running on a Snapdragon 8155 platform, and the ZEEKR AD driver assistance suite with 5 cameras, 5 millimetre-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors and Remote Parking Assist. The AWD adds front-row massage seats, a temperature-controlled fridge and 20-inch forged wheels, and offers electric front doors as a $2,000 option.
The Zeekr X has a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year or 160,000km high-voltage motor and battery warranty. ANCAP awarded it five stars against its 2024 criteria, applying to all variants built from July 2024.
Range and charging
The two versions use different batteries. The RWD has Zeekr’s LFP cell-to-pack ‘Golden Battery’, also used in the Zeekr 7X, and charges at up to 230kW DC, taking about 18 minutes from 10 to 80 per cent. The AWD’s NMC battery charges at up to 150kW DC, taking about 30 minutes for the same top-up. On AC, the RWD accepts 11kW and the AWD 22kW. Vehicle-to-Load is listed for both versions.
