The Zeekr 7X SUV officially goes on sale in some European markets

Following the start of its sales in China at the end of last September, the Zeekr 7X is now also officially on sale in some European countries, which has allowed us to find out the price list in these markets.

In the Netherlands, the starting price of this upper-mid-range electric SUV is 52,990 euros, while in Sweden it costs a minimum of 579 thousand Swedish kronor, which at the current exchange rate comes to roughly 50,500 euros. In Norway, meanwhile, its price starts at 539,900 Norwegian kroner, which amounts to around 46 thousand euros.

As you have probably noticed, there is a fairly significant difference in the price of the Zeekr 7X across these three European countries, which is explained by the different taxation applicable in each of them. In any case, and as is customary with all vehicles imported from China, in any of these three European countries its price is considerably higher than what a Chinese buyer has to pay in their own country. In this Asian country, the Zeekr 7X starts at 229,900 yuan for the entry-level version, which at the current exchange rate comes to roughly 30 thousand euros. In other words, here in Europe its price is around 70 percent higher.

They are not exactly the same

It is important to point out, however, that the Zeekr 7X sold in Europe is not exactly the same as the one marketed in China. Thus, while the Chinese variant measures 4.83 metres long with a wheelbase of 2.93 metres and a height of 1.66 metres, the European one is slightly shorter at 4.79 metres long, with a shorter wheelbase of 2.90 metres and also slightly lower at 1.65 metres in height. The propulsion systems are, however, the same; as are the versions on sale, which are also three: Premium, Long Range and Performance.

The Premium version has a single motor with 310 kW of power on the rear axle, paired with a 75 kWh battery pack, which according to the manufacturer allows it to cover 480 kilometres under the WLTP homologation cycle. In this version, which is equipped with an LFP battery pack, it is also possible to increase the state of charge from 10 to 80 percent in just over 10 minutes, according to the manufacturer, since it supports a charging power of up to 480 kW. However, given that there are currently no charging points in Europe capable of delivering this power, at best, at 360 kW this time will rise to around 13 minutes.

On the other hand, the Long Range and Performance versions are equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack, with cells in this case using NMC chemistry from supplier CATL. The Long Range version retains the same 310 kW motor from the base model on the rear axle, offering a range of up to 615 km, thanks to the greater capacity of the battery pack and its lower weight per kWh. The time needed to reach 80 percent charge, again from 10 percent, is on this occasion, according to the manufacturer, 16 minutes.

Finally, at the top of the range the Performance version adds a second motor on the front axle, raising total power to 470 kW and allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.

With this new electric SUV, the Chinese manufacturer now sells three models in those European markets where it is present. The Zeekr 7X thus joins the shooting brake 001 and the compact SUV X. If everything goes according to plan, deliveries of the first Zeekr 7X units in Europe will take place next summer.
