Zeekr unveiled the updated 7X at the Paris Auto Show. This electric SUV features Bosch’s advanced assist systems, a refreshed design, and a charging capacity of up to 450 kW in the LFP base version. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027.

For Zeekr, the 7X is the most important model in Europe. This mid-range SUV is currently Zeekr’s best-selling vehicle on the continent, with over 200,000 units of this series produced worldwide. As its debut at the Paris Auto Show, the manufacturer from the Geely group also presents a thoroughly revised version of it.
The brand continues to grow in Europe. From January to September 2026, Zeekr delivered three times as many vehicles as in the same period last year, according to its own figures. The manufacturer is now active in 22 European markets, with Finland, the Baltic states, Poland, and Austria having joined recently. By the end of 2026, the European dealership network is set to expand to 200 locations.
Bosch’s New Assistance System
The most significant technical advancement relates to driver assistance. The upgraded 7X uses a Bosch platform that operates with seven cameras and three radar sensors. The system supports adaptive cruise control as well as automatic parking that can be activated with a simple finger tap.
The 7X can also be parked remotely via the Zeekr app as an optional feature. However, this requires at least Digital Key 3.0 and a compatible device with Apple iOS.
Refined interior and exterior design
The visual changes are moderate. Newly designed bumpers on the front and rear alter the exterior appearance, along with new 21-inch alloy wheels. Inside, Zeekr has updated the center console.
Starting in the first quarter of 2027, Glacier Silver and Mystic Lilac paint colors, previously available on the Zeekr 7GT, will also be options.

Powertrain, battery, and range
The technical foundation remains the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) with 800-volt technology. Zeekr continues to offer the 7X in three variants. The figures for range and consumption are preliminary and subject to the final WLTP homologation.
Core RWD
The entry-level model uses an LFP battery with a capacity of 75 kWh. The rear-wheel drive system delivers 335 kW (455 horsepower), with Zeekr stating a preliminary range of up to 482 kilometers according to WLTP standards.
Long Range RWD
With the same 335 kW (455 horsepower) output, this version features an NMC battery with 100 kWh capacity. As a result, the 7X has a preliminary range of up to 627 kilometers per WLTP, the highest in the series.
Privilege AWD
The all-wheel-drive version also uses the 100-kWh NMC battery and delivers 500 kW (680 horsepower). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. The preliminary range is up to 545 kilometers according to WLTP standards.
Zeekr estimates the combined energy consumption of the updated 7X at 17.8 to 20.5 kWh/100 km under WLTP conditions.
Charging capacity of up to 450 kW
The highest charging speed is not offered by any of the models with large batteries, but rather by the entry-level model. The Core RWD version with an LFP battery can charge at up to 450 kW using direct current. Under optimal conditions, charging from 10% to 80% should take 10.5 minutes.
The two variants equipped with a 100-kWh NMC battery can charge at up to 420 kW. Zeekr states that it takes 15 minutes for each to charge from 10% to 80%.
Zeekr notes that these figures assume suitable conditions and compatible high-power charging stations with proper cooling. The actual charging speed depends on factors such as the charging station’s capacity, as well as battery and ambient temperatures.
Availability in Germany
The updated 7X is expected to launch in Germany in October 2026. First customer deliveries are planned for the first quarter of 2027. Zeekr has not yet announced prices, with more details about the German market offering to follow at launch.
Zeekr has been available in Germany since December 2025 and, according to its own statements, received over 850 orders by early October 2026. In addition to the 7X, its lineup in this market includes the compact SUV Zeekr X, the shooting brake Zeekr 001, and the grand tourer Zeekr 7GT. The brand plans to expand distribution through traditional dealerships in the future: Zeekr aims to have a network of over 60 partners in Germany by 2027, on top of the more than 100 existing certified service center locations.
