Zeekr 7X has reached 200,000 orders. Mexico has become a key driver for its exports.
On August 24, 2026, Zeekr announced that global orders for the 7X model had exceeded 200,000 units. The milestone order came from a customer in Mexico, and the 7X is already available for purchase in over 50 countries and regions.

This still doesn’t equate to 200,000 deliveries. But for a brand that has only recently begun expanding beyond China, such a figure speaks volumes about its growth rate.
The 7X Has Become One of Zeekr’s Pillars
The Zeekr 7X was launched in China on September 20, 2024. It was the brand’s second model aimed at a broader mass EV market, following the Zeekr 007 sedan.
Then overseas expansion followed. The model reached countries such as Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand, and Mexico. Today, the list of markets exceeds 50 entries, so the 7X is no longer a local curiosity from China but has become a real export product for Geely.
In China itself, the 7X also contributes to the brand’s sales. From January to July 2026, 62,865 units were delivered, accounting for 29.35 percent of Zeekr’s total deliveries during that period. In other words, almost one in three Zeekrs sold to customers was the 7X.
The monthly figures show another trend. After a very strong end to 2024, when sales of the model surged rapidly, 2025 brought stability at around 7,300–10,600 units per month. By July 2026, deliveries rose again to 10,253 vehicles. This doesn’t seem like a one-off spike after its launch.
There are however two reservations. First, we are talking about global orders, not registrations. Second, Chinese manufacturers like to lump together customers' orders, reservations, and declarations in one category. The number sounds good, but the real test still comes on the roads.
Mexico Has Become an Important Market for Geely and Zeekr
It’s symbolic that the 200,000th order came from Mexico. This is no coincidence.
Zeekr entered Mexico in August 2024 with the Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X models, establishing dealership networks in Mexico City and Monterrey. The Zeekr 7X joined there in October 2025, available in two versions right away.
The Zeekr 7X Premium version with rear-wheel drive and longer range is priced at 919,000 Mexican pesos. The Zeekr 7X Flagship model with AWD costs 989,000 pesos. This translates to approximately 190,000–205,000 Polish zlotys, depending on the exchange rate. For a premium car, this isn’t an extremely high price, but it’s also not considered a “cheap Chinese” deal.
The manufacturer claims that from January to July 2026, the 7X was number one in Mexico’s luxury electric C-SUV segment. Meanwhile, it reportedly held the top position in luxury SUVs in Hong Kong, mid-range luxury SUVs in Australia, and the premium electric SUV segment in Malaysia.
The little star comes in handy again here. Such segments are often narrowed down to fit a convenient marketing narrative. “Luxury electric C-SUV” is not a mass market segment but rather a carefully selected slice of the pie. That said, Mexico shouldn’t be overlooked, as Geely’s overall performance in this region is strong.
From January to July 2026, Geely Group sold 27,324 cars in Mexico, representing a year-on-year increase of 223.6 percent. July alone saw 4,203 vehicles sold, more than double the figure from the previous year. Meanwhile, Zeekr and Lynk & Co combined to register 2,271 units during that period.
As the scale expands, so does the retail strategy. Zeekr initially planned to open 25 standalone showrooms by 2026, but later shifted to a model of shared showrooms with Lynk & Co. The goal for the end of the year is 27 sales and service outlets. Practical and cheaper, especially in a market that is just beginning to develop.
What does the updated Zeekr 7X offer?
The refreshed 7X was unveiled in the Chinese market on October 28, 2025. The most significant change is the switch to a 900 V architecture.
The starting price in China is 229,800 yuan, which is approximately $33,870 according to the given exchange rate. Standardly, the manufacturer includes LiDAR and the Nvidia Drive Thor-U system in all versions. This sounds generous, though as usual, it’s necessary to separate the hardware from the actual capabilities of the driver assistance systems. The sensor alone does not yet enable autonomy.
The top version features two electric motors with a combined power of 585 kW, equivalent to 785 horsepower. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.98 seconds. Fast? Very fast. The question is, how many customers of family SUVs really need this.
From a practical standpoint, the version with a CATL Qilin 103 kWh battery is more interesting. The manufacturer claims a 10-80 percent charge in 10 minutes and a range of up to 802 km under the CLTC cycle. On paper, this sounds great, but there are two key considerations. First, the CLTC cycle is clearly more optimistic than WLTP, not to mention highway driving conditions. Second, to fully utilize the 900 V system, a sufficiently powerful charging infrastructure is required.
Nevertheless, the trend is clear. Chinese premium brands are increasingly shifting away from competing solely on price and instead equipping their vehicles with very powerful specifications and extensive standard features. The Zeekr 7X is a textbook example of this strategy.
Europe is already here, South Korea will be next
The Zeekr 7X entered Europe in May 2025. Today, the brand claims presence in over 50 countries and regions, so expansion is progressing quickly, at least at the level of market entry.
The next stop is South Korea. Zeekr Korea launched pre-orders in June 2026 at major dealerships and gathered over 1,000 orders within a month. The official market launch is set to take place this year.
This will indeed be an interesting test. The Korean market is more challenging than many new export markets, as local players have a strong foothold there, and customers don’t buy something exotic just because it’s new. If the 7X can sustain sales there, it will be a better indicator than further announcements about “entering country number 51.”
So far, Zeekra’s global customer base has exceeded 850,000 people. This figure clearly shows Zeekra’s progress, especially outside of China.
For a Polish reader, the significance of this story is simple. Zeekra is no longer building its image around a single impressive launch but rather aiming to make the 7X a global model. If this pace continues, Geely’s upcoming cars in Europe will become less of an experiment and more of a regular business venture. What do you think? Could the 7X have a better chance of making an impact in Poland than the Tesla Model Y or Kia EV5?
