Geely Holding Group's premium electric mobility brand, Zeekr, has launched its latest model in China, the Zeekr X. The compact electric vehicle boasts impressive specifications, including a dual-motor four-wheel drive option that can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. With a range of up to 560 kilometers, the Zeekr X offers a balance between performance, practicality and affordability with a starting price of just €25,500.

Zeekr X has arrived and wants to make a big impression on the electric vehicle market. This latest offering from Geely's Zeekr brand promises impressive performance, practicality and affordability, all wrapped up in a stylish and compact package.
It is basically a car that enters the segment where they are now Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Cupra Born and Volkswagen ID.3. Only that she does it with a bit more style and like she's likely to do it Tesla, when it will present the Tesla 2 model. It is certainly an extremely interesting car that European manufacturers can think about, as it brings some very futuristic ideas that we see in concepts and not in finished products.
Powered by Geely's Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA), the Zeekr X offers two available powertrains, a single-motor setup and a dual-motor version, both using its own electric motor and silicon carbide battery technology. A 315-kilowatt dual-motor AWD model (422 horsepower) and with a torque of 543 newton meters it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h only 3.7 seconds, making it one of the fastest compact electric vehicles on the market.
But performance isn't everything Zeekr X it also works in other areas. With a range of up to 560 kilometers for the rear-wheel drive model and 512 kilometers for the four-wheel drive model, the Zeekr X offers plenty of driving between charges, making it ideal for longer journeys. The car's battery is 66 kWh.
The practicality of the Zeekr X is also one of the features that emphasize it. It has the option of four or five seats and power-folding rear seats that fold the cushions up to free up space. The trunk volume varies between 362 liters with all seats in place and 1,182 liters with the rear seats folded down, providing plenty of space for passengers and their luggage.
However, the Zeekr X doesn't just stand out because of its practical features. The interior is packed with high-tech features, including a 1.2 square meter panoramic double-pane glass sunroof, a huge 14.6-inch floating head-up display, a wireless phone charging pad and ambient lighting.
Despite all these impressive features, perhaps the most surprising thing about the Zeekr X is its price. Starting at just €25,500 (189,800 yuan) for the base rear-wheel drive model, the Zeekr X is an affordable option for those looking to switch to electric. The four-wheel drive model is not much more expensive, starting at 28,000 euros (209,800 yuan).
Deliveries Zeekr X will start in China in June, and the European presentation is expected later this year. With its impressive performance, practical features and affordable price, the Zeekr X looks set to make waves in the electric vehicle market.
