The Zeekr X (Chinese: 极氪X; pinyin: Jíkè X) is a battery electric compact crossover SUV developed and produced by Zeekr, a premium NEV brand of Geely.[2] It is the third production vehicle produced by the brand and was launched in April 2023. The model is based on the Geely developed Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform shared with the Smart #1,[3] and the electric motors and batteries are made by VREMT (Viridi E-Mobility Technology), a company fully owned by Geely, which also produces the motors and batteries for Smart #1.[4]
Overview
[edit]The production Zeekr X was unveiled on 12 April 2023. In China, the Zeekr X is available in three trim levels with either a single motor rear-wheel-drive or dual motor all-wheel-drive drivetrain. Two "YOU" trims are offered with a dual-motor setup paired with a 5-seater configuration or a single-motor setup paired with a premium 4-seater configuration. The single-motor YOU trim could be had with an optional dual-motor upgrade.[5]
The interior of the Zeekr X features a small instrument panel and an AR-HUD in front of the steering wheel, with a 14.6-inch floating screen shared with other Zeekr models placed in the centre of the interior that can move towards the passenger side. The interior could also be had with a minifridge.[5][6] The trunk volume of the Zeekr X varies from 12.8 cubic feet (362 liters) with all seats in default position to 41.7 cu ft (1,182 L) with the rear seats folded.[7]
The model 2025 has a version with a 49 kWh LFP (short blades) battery that will be 25% cheaper in China than the previous entry model version.[8]
