Zeekr, the luxury brand of Geely Group — which also owns Volvo, which is facing a severe crisis, as well as Polestar and Lotus — entered Spain at the beginning of this year with the 7GT, an electric crossover with up to 646 horsepower that we have already tested as its top-selling model.

However, its best electric vehicle available in Spain is the 7X: an electric SUV that is 4.8 meters long — slightly longer than the BMW iX3’s 4.69 meters — and has sold over 200,000 units worldwide since its launch just two years ago. It focuses on fast charging and long driving range, and its latest update improves these key aspects.

It takes just over 10 minutes to charge and increases its range to 627 km.

This ‘cousin’ of the Volvo EX60 – which poses a real challenge for the Swedish brand – and EXC90 has been slightly updated and will arrive in Europe and Spain at the beginning of next year, although in some countries like Germany, pre-orders are already available.

The most notable feature is that its Long Range version sees its range increase from 615 km to 627 km, while its Core RWD version, which is the entry-level model and not sold in Spain, reduces charging time from 16 minutes to just 10 minutes; specifically, it can charge the 75 kWh battery from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes.

The charging speed is also very fast in its two remaining versions, the Long Range RWD and the Privilege AWD. In both, the 100 kWh battery charges in 15 minutes when connected to a charger capable of handling the SUV’s 420 kW charging capacity.

It should be noted that in Spain, and due to the absence of the aforementioned Core version which now charges in just over 10 minutes, Zeekr offers the Long Range RWD version with a 455 HP engine, rear-wheel drive, and a range of 615 km, which will now increase to 627 km.

But in our country, the best Zeekr 7X is the Privelege AWD version, featuring two engines, all-wheel drive, a combined power of 680 HP — allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds — along with the aforementioned 100 kW battery, which now offers 545 km of range after updates.

Few aesthetic changes for Zeekr’s best electric SUV, but one very noticeable

In terms of design, there are very few changes to this electric SUV that has already sold over 200,000 units, with updated bumpers, new 21” tires, and two new colors — Glacier Silver and Mystic Lilac — as the main exterior updates.

Inside, the most notable feature of this Volvo “cousin” is its new center console, which will also allow playing video games using our smartphone as a controller. Zeekr has just signed an agreement with N-Dream, the company behind AirConsole—one of the leading gaming platforms for vehicles—and some titles will be available in Zeekr models sold in Europe by the end of this year.

For now, Zeekr has not revealed the prices of its revamped best electric SUV available in Europe, but in Spain, the Long Range RWD version starts at 55,425 euros, and after the updates it is likely to remain similar or slightly higher in price.
