Zeekr 7X: The Surprise Star Of The Geely Family?

The video reviews the Zeekr 7X, Geely’s newest midsize SUV that the reviewer describes as the “surprise star” of the Chinese automaker’s family. Designed in Sweden by a former Audi A7 designer, the 7X aims to combine Chinese electric‑power expertise with European styling and engineering, targeting the same segment as the Tesla Model Y. Key highlights include a bespoke EV platform offering up to 100 kWh of battery capacity for a claimed 615 km (382 mi) rear‑wheel‑drive range, and a 75 kWh LFP pack delivering 480 km WLTP. The vehicle supports up to 480 kW rapid charging – theoretically 10‑80 % in nine minutes – and already achieves 10‑80 % in roughly 13 minutes on today’s fastest chargers. Inside, a massive central screen, customizable widget strip, dual wireless chargers, and a Dolby Atmos sound system create a “luxury techfest” atmosphere without overwhelming the cabin. The reviewer notes several concrete details: frameless doors that open automatically, Polestar‑inspired wing mirrors, a spacious interior with a large boot and frunk, and an optional air‑suspension that delivers a comfort‑focused ride. The software feels fast and intuitive, and regenerative braking can be softened for passenger comfort. The car’s handling and ride quality, often a weak point for Chinese EVs, are praised as comparable to European rivals. Overall, the Zeekr 7X positions the brand to challenge premium EV players in markets like the UK, leveraging high‑density batteries, ultra‑fast charging, and a well‑executed interior. Its blend of Chinese tech and European engineering could reshape consumer expectations for value‑driven luxury EVs, prompting incumbents to accelerate their own tech and design upgrades.
