Zeekr, the Chinese maker of premium electric cars, has started deliveries of its highly anticipated and one of the fastest charging production cars, the 7X SUV, in Europe, ahead of its Australian launch later this year.
The company’s European arm shared that the 7X deliveries to customers in multiple countries had started, and shared posts on X marking the milestone for the brand.
Earlier in the week, customers of the 7X started receiving their vehicles in the EV-leader Norway at the brand’s Frydenbø dealership in Bergen, located on the southwest coast.
A grey 7X SUV in the top-spec Priviege AWD variant with 21-inch wheels, offering acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, was delivered to a customer in the post.
In that trim, the orange brake callipers can be seen, which are only found on the top-spec AWD variant of the lineup.
A day later, Zeekr Europe account also shared that deliveries of the fast charging had begun in Sweden with three different cars.
This time, customers received cars in green, black and grey colours, and received their 7X SUVs.
In December, the Zeekr 7X configurator went online in Europe. The base model’s 10-80% fast charging time is just 13 minutes.
These speeds are available in the base Core RWD model, which has a 75 kWh battery pack and a starting price of €52,990.
This golden brick Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery has been developed by Zeekr engineers in-house.
The line-up also includes the Long Range RWD, which starts at €55,990, and the top-spec Previlege AWD, which costs €62,990.
The Performance AWD does pack a punch, with acceleration of 0-100 km/h taking just 3.8 seconds, down from 6 seconds in the base model.
On the driving range front, the base Core model offers 480 km of WLTP range on a single charge, while the Long Range RWD bumps that to 615 km.
The top-spec Performance AWD variant’s mileage drops back to 543 km, thanks to the addition of the second motor.
The Zeekr 7X also feature is 2-tonne of braked towing across the range, making it an easy choice for those looking to tow.
These 7X in Europe provide a good glimpse of what’s to come to Australia in the second half of 2025.
The 7X has made an appearance at several Australian EV shows so far in 2025. In March, the 7X was on show in Sydney.
It soon followed in April at the Melbourne motor show, highlighting quite a bit of interest in the large SUV, which stands at 4,825 mm in length, making it longer than the Tesla Model Y.
In April, Zeekr also announced that it will lower the price of the small Zeekr X SUV as it planned to bring the 7X into our market later this year.
Pricing of the base rear-wheel-drive model saw a $7,000 price cut, which now starts at $49,900 before on-roads.
The top-spec all-wheel-drive model also saw its prices reduced by $2,000, coming in at $62,990 before on-roads.
Zeekr has since also added a few stores in Queensland, helping grow the network across the country and has plans to further increase its network ahead of the 7X launch.
The Zeekr 7X is the most anticipated car from the brand and with European deliveries starting, it sets the path for the launch of the model in Australia too.
With that it would also bring the fastest charging car available to Australian customers and we can’t wait for that, as it will push the boundary on charging speeds and infrastructure when it does happen.
