ZEEKR is going to push a new car! This time it's not a hunting car, a big MPV, or a small-sized SUV, but a real mid-size SUV.
That's right, it's the rumored "Zeekr 008", but it was eventually named "Zeekr 7X".
As a mid-size SUV, the ZEEKR 7X is positioned just right. It's neither offbeat like the 001 nor high-end positioned like the 009, but is aimed at the hottest home market. You know, in the current car market, mid-size SUVs are very sweet, not only in terms of sales volume, but also at a selling price.
In terms of appearance, the ZEEKR 7X continues the design language of 007 and MIX. The front face adopts the recognizable STARGATE integrated light curtain, which looks both technological and atmospheric.
The side lines are sleek, and although it doesn't have an overly coupe fastback design, the overall look is still stylish. It is worth mentioning that ZEEKR canceled the controversial tailgate "fish scale" shape of the previous 007 and changed it to a more concise design, which seems to have listened to the opinions of consumers.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the Zeekr 7X are 4825/1930/1656mm, and the wheelbase is 2925mm. This size is considered standard among midsize SUVs, close to the NIO ES6, and slightly smaller than the ideal L6.
However, Zhu Ling, vice president of ZEEKR, said that more attention is paid to space and practicality in the design, rather than blindly pursuing low wind resistance. This is undoubtedly good news for family users who pay attention to ride comfort.
In terms of power, the ZEEKR 7X is available in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, with the same parameters as the ZEEKR 007. The rear-wheel drive version has a maximum output of 310 kW and the all-wheel drive version has a maximum output of 475 kW. In addition, the 800V high-voltage platform and rear silicon carbide electric drive are standard across the range, so the charging speed should not disappoint.
When it comes to intelligent configuration, the Zeekr 7X is also unambiguous. The high-end model will be equipped with lidar and ZEEKR's self-developed intelligent driving system, which means that its performance in autonomous driving is worth looking forward to. At the same time, the phrase "safety is the first criterion for testing luxury" appeared on the body of the test car, and it seems that ZEEKR has also put a lot of effort into safety.
As for the price that everyone is most concerned about, although it has not been officially announced, but referring to the ZEEKR 007 on the same platform, we can boldly guess that the price of ZEEKR 7X may be around 23-330,000. At this price point, it is just stuck between the Tesla Model Y and the ideal L6, and the competitiveness should not be underestimated.
However, the market competition is also extremely fierce. In addition to pure electric competitors such as Tesla Model Y, Zhiji LS6, AVATR 15, Xpeng G6, etc., the ZEEKR 7X also has to face range extender models such as the Ideal L6 and Wenjie M7. Even its own Lynk & Co 08 EM-P could become a competitor.
In such a red sea market, whether the Zeekr 7X can stand out depends on its actual performance. So the question is, do you love such a rookie with both appearance and strength?
