ZEEKR 7X: THE BEST HANDLING CHINESE SUV

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr 7X is presented as a surprisingly sporty Chinese electric SUV, challenging expectations with its driving dynamics. While it shares a platform with the Polestar 3, the reviewer notes the 7X offers a more athletic feel, though with a slightly less refined compromise between ride comfort and handling, feeling a bit "boisterous" over bumps. Key highlights include its sleek design, optional "Stargate" LED lighting, and a unique green light indicating active driver assistance systems. The interior, despite a rental car's aftermarket modifications, is noted for good material quality, superior to the Enovate L60. However, the infotainment system's UI and response times are criticized, and the placement of steering wheel-mounted controls is deemed problematic. The reviewer praises the inclusion of physical buttons for essential functions like drive modes and tailgate operation. Safety features like the "submarine grade steel" body and an innovative window-breaking system are also mentioned. Performance is strong, with the dual-motor AWD version achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The reviewer's main concern is Zeekr's strategy of making many features optional, questioning its long-term viability.
