- Zeekr has begun deliveries of its midsize 7X SUV in South Korea after 1,000+ presales, signaling an aggressive push to capture market share from legacy premium brands through faster overseas expansion and showroom growth.
- The 7X Ultra features a 100 kWh ternary battery, dual-motor AWD and 440 km range under Korean certification, while Pro and Max offer RWD with 375 km and 483 km ranges and prices of 52.99 million won (about $39,950), 59.99 million won (about $45,230) and 69.99 million won (about $52,800).
- Zeekr targets 14 showrooms and 11 service centers by year-end in Korea, but execution risks include scaling aftersales, timely showroom rollouts, local certification nuances and sustaining margins amid rapid global delivery growth.
Zeekr announced on October 23 that deliveries of its midsize all-electric SUV, the Zeekr 7X, had officially begun in South Korea.
The model opened for presales at major dealerships in South Korea in June, receiving more than 1,000 orders in its first month.
The first 7X delivery ceremony was recently held at Zeekr’s flagship showroom in Seoul’s Gangnam district, with South Korean battery maker SK On becoming the first customer.
SK On plans to use the vehicle for daily business operations and give employees opportunities to experience it.
The vehicle delivered to SK On was the range-topping Ultra variant, equipped with a 100 kWh ternary lithium battery and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system.
Under certification standards set by South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, the model has a driving range of 440 km on a single charge.
The Zeekr 7X is currently offered in South Korea in three variants: Pro, Max and Ultra, priced at 52.99 million won ($39,950), 59.99 million won ($45,230) and 69.99 million won ($52,800), respectively.
The Pro and Max versions both feature rear-wheel drive, with ranges of 375 km and 483 km on a single charge, respectively.
With deliveries underway, Zeekr’s next priority in South Korea is to expand its sales and after-sales service network.
Zeekr Korea plans to establish 14 showrooms in Seoul and other major areas by the end of this year, along with 11 service centers nationwide, including on Jeju Island.
South Korea is the latest market in Zeekr’s ongoing overseas expansion. Since entering Europe in May 2025, the Zeekr 7X has expanded its reach to more than 50 countries and regions worldwide.
According to the company, global deliveries of the model reached 12,041 units in September this year, taking cumulative sales above 200,000 units.
In Malaysia and Mexico, the Zeekr 7X ranked first in sales among premium all-electric vehicles in the first nine months of this year.
At the brand level, Zeekr delivered 37,216 vehicles in September, up 103.85% year on year.
This extends its streak of simultaneous year-on-year and month-on-month growth to eight consecutive months.
Global deliveries for the first nine months totaled 288,404 vehicles, up 101% year on year.
