Electric cars have shifted from niche novelty to mainstream must-have. They are frequently sighted on Aussie roads, as more drivers embrace cleaner, smarter, and faster ways to get around. And, Zeekr 7X is a new mid-sized luxury family SUV that’s rewriting the rules of what an EV can be. Boasting the world’s first Golden Battery, this sleek newcomer charges from 10 to 80 per cent in a staggering 13 minutes. And, last we checked it took more time to prepare a classic hard boiled egg!
Designed in Sweden’s Gothenburg studio, the Zeekr 7X carries that unmistakable Scandinavian flair: clean, confident lines that give it a poised yet purposeful stance. Inside, it feels surprisingly spacious – more like a luxury lounge than a traditional family SUV – with room for five and thoughtful touches like heated and cooled massage seats and electric doors that gently swing open, elevating every journey into an experience of quiet comfort and style. The digital cockpit includes a ightning-fast 16-inch touchscreen and an optional augmented reality heads-up display that puts key info directly in the driver’s line of sight, making tech both seamless and intuitive.
But, beauty and brains only tell part of the story. Under the hood, the Zeekr 7X delivers real punch. The dual-motor all-wheel drive model catapults from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, thrilling anyone who’s ever wished for a little extra zip in their family SUV. For those chasing long-range reliability, the single-motor variant stretches up to 615 kilometres on a single charge — perfect for weekend escapes or those daily drives that never seem to end. Off-road mode and adjustable suspension mean it’s ready for more than just the freeway, tackling rougher terrain with ease and confidence.
Charging, often a sticking point with EVs, feels almost effortless here. Thanks to an advanced 800V electrical system and Zeekr’s Golden Battery tech, the 7X plugs into fast chargers and juices up at a breathtaking speed, taking just 13 minutes to get from near empty to 80 percent. For home charging, a 22kW onboard charger ensures the battery is topped up overnight without fuss.
Starting at $57,900, the Zeekr 7X offers serious value for those wanting a premium, practical, and future-ready electric SUV. And, Zeekr backs their vechicles with a seven-year warranty and roadside assistance — a sign of confidence in its product and commitment to the Aussie market.
Zeekr may be the new kid on the block in Australia, but the brand has already sold more than 520,000 vehicles worldwide and is shaping the electric mobility landscape. Backed by the tech prowess of the Geely Group, which also owns Volvo and Polestar, Zeekr’s ambition is to blend innovation, sustainability, and sophisticated design in a package that speaks to today’s drivers – especially families looking for smart, stylish alternatives.
For anyone keen to glimpse the future of driving, the Zeekr 7X feels like a compelling invitation. It’s fast, it’s spacious, it’s smart – and it’s here now, ready to rewrite the rules of what an electric SUV can do for Australian families. In less time than it takes to prepare breakfast!
