Summary

The Zeekr X, the first Australian offering from Zeekr, debuted in October 2025 as a compact electric SUV. Sharing its platform with the Volvo EX30, it enters a competitive market segment with a focus on value, performance, and premium features.

The Zeekr X has received positive feedback from Australian motoring media, highlighted by its sleek design, impressive range, and competitive pricing. With its five-star ANCAP safety rating, the X delivers peace of mind for safety-conscious buyers, further solidifying its appeal.

Critics have praised the Zeekr X for its potent drivetrains, with the single-motor RWD variant offering 200kW and a 540km range, and the AWD version delivering 315kW, a 0-100km/h sprint of 3.8 seconds, and a range of 470km. Standard features like the 14.6-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a panoramic sunroof enhance its premium feel.

However, some reviews note that while the minimalist interior is visually appealing, the reliance on a central touchscreen for most controls can be less intuitive for new users.

The Zeekr X achieves a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 85%. It excels in performance, safety, and features, though its luxury price bracket and lack of a dealer network could pose challenges for some buyers. Still, it’s a strong entry in the Australian EV market, offering a premium alternative to established brands.
