The Zeekr X was launched for $27,600 with a range of 560 km.

Geely's Zeekr X electric hatch was launched in China with a 66-kWh battery, up to 428 hp and a starting price of RMB 189,800 (USD 27,600), much lower than analysis had predicted. It will also enter the European market this year. Let's get to know this exciting vehicle better.

Geely is a high-end brand that currently sells three vehicles: the Zeekr 001 liftback, the Zeekr 009 MPV and the new Zeekr X hatchback. All these tools are supported by the SEA architecture. In 2022, Zeekr sold over 72,000 vehicles. This year, it wants to double its sales volume by launching in some European markets.

As mentioned, the Zeekr X is an electric hatchback. However, Zeekr prefers to call it "SUV". But we cannot agree with this term. We might call it a “CUV” at best. It has nice proportions, with a small ground clearance, a long wheelbase, sloping A-pillars and some sharp lines that add sportiness to its look. As for the dimensions, it is 4450/1836/1572 mm with a wheelbase of 2750. For clarity, the X has the same wheelbase as the Smart #1, but is 180mm longer, 14mm wider and 64mm lower.

Other than size, the Zeekr X has a lot in common with the Smart #1. They share the same SEA architecture. Also, the electric motors and batteries are made by the same manufacturer as VREMT (Viridi E-Mobility Technology), a wholly owned company.

Speaking of electric motors, the X has two options. The first has a 200 kW (272 hp) electric motor on the rear axle. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.8 seconds. As for the second option, it has two e-motors with a total power of 315 kW (428 hp). Its zero-to-hundred acceleration is 3.7 seconds. The battery is triple (NMC) with a capacity of 66 kWh. RWD models have a CLTC range of 560 km and the 4WD model can run up to 512 km on a single charge.

Zeekr X can be equipped with 5 or 4 seats, which is quite rare for Chinese cars. Inside, there is a huge 14.6-inch floating home screen that can move towards the passenger. It also has a wireless phone charging pad and a gear shifter behind the steering wheel.

Zeekr X has three trim levels. The entry-level version is called ME. It has five seats, a single electric motor and a sticker price of RMB 189,800 (USD 27,600). You can't equip it with 4WD, but you can add a heated steering wheel, Yamaha audio system, automatic doors and the display in the B-pillar. With these options, the price tag rises to RMB 212,800 (USD 30,900).

The X is available in 6 body colours: Berlin Metallic Grey, Hangzhou Green, California Sunglow Pink, Athens Cloud White, Paris Cream Beige and Sydney Harbor Blue. All free right now. But later on, Hangzhou Green and Paris Cream Beige will cost an extra 5,000 RMB (700 USD).

As for the interior, it's available in three colors for the four-seater version: Blue-White; blue-green; Black gray. The five-seat version also has a nice-looking violet finish.

So the Zeekr X is a nice looking car with good styling an
