IT’S OVER FOR BMW & TESLA... ZEEKR IS THE NEW #1 EV

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr 7X Long Range RWD is presented as a compelling premium EV, directly challenging established players like Tesla and BMW. The reviewer highlights its strong value proposition, superior equipment list compared to the Tesla Model Y, and a luxurious interior that rivals European brands, particularly noting the excellent seat comfort and fit-and-finish, which draw parallels to Volvo. Real-world highway range consistently exceeded 500 km, and charging speeds, particularly DC fast charging, are impressive. However, the primary drawback identified is the lack of brand recognition and 'badge value' in Western markets, which the reviewer believes will be the biggest hurdle for potential buyers, despite the vehicle's engineering prowess. Minor criticisms include the fiddly nature of some digital controls for functions like mirrors and air vents, and the absence of an in-car fridge. Overall, the 7X is lauded as a well-engineered, comfortable, and dynamically competent EV that overdelivers on value, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing substance over brand heritage.
