In Australia, the Zeekr 7X is offered in three trims, all featuring an 800V high-voltage architecture and 22kW AC charging as standard:

• Rear-Wheel Drive Base Model: Equipped with a 75kWh LFP battery, offering 480km WLTP range, with 10%–80% fast charging in just 13 minutes. Priced from A$57,900 ($37,635).

Compared with the Tesla Model Y’s local price, the Zeekr 7X entry-level model is A$1,000 ($650) cheaper, representing an aggressive pricing strategy. Additionally, the first 1,000 customers will receive a 7-year warranty, a 7kW home charging pile, and free color option selection rights.

In terms of smart cockpit features, the new model comes with a Qualcomm 8295 chip powering a 16-inch central control screen and a 36.2-inch AR-HUD, supporting voice interaction and OTA updates. The Performance model adds a 21-speaker audio system, power doors, and seat massage functions.

For intelligent driving, it is equipped with the Mobileye ADAS system, including adaptive cruise control, automatic parking, and 3D surround view, and is expected to maintain its European five-star safety rating.

Following its debut in Australia, the Zeekr 7X will officially enter the New Zealand market by the end of the year, alongside the Zeekr X and Zeekr 009. According to the company’s plan, by 2025 it aims to add 100 overseas stores and 70 service centers, with flagship stores in 15 core cities such as Sydney and Hong Kong. In terms of charging infrastructure, the company will begin building overseas ultra-fast charging stations this year, targeting 1,000 self-operated chargers across Australia, Thailand, the Middle East, and other markets.
