THE ZEEKR X IS A PREMIUM ELECTRIC SUV (WITH A REMOVABLE FRIDGE?)

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr X presents a compelling package as a premium compact electric SUV, particularly for the Chinese market where it's priced attractively between $27,500 and $33,000. The reviewer highlights its unique and potentially controversial exterior design, which marks a step towards Zeekr establishing its own design language. Inside, the vehicle boasts premium features like a 13-speaker Yamaha sound system, a large central screen, and an AR HUD. A standout feature is the modular and movable center console, which can slide back to reveal a refrigerator capable of both cooling and heating, and can even be removed entirely for increased cargo space. The four-seater version offers extensive seat adjustability, including a vibrating massage function and a 'zero gravity' mode. While the dual-motor 'Performance' version offers brisk acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds), the steering is noted as being a bit light at low speeds, though it firms up nicely on the highway. The reviewer praises the sophisticated suspension and overall sporty handling, attributing it to the rear-wheel-drive bias and powerful rear motor. The real-world range is estimated to be between 500-560 km (CLTC) on the same 66 kWh battery as the Smart #1. The reviewer concludes that the Zeekr X offers excellent value for its features and driving dynamics in China, with anticipation for its European release.
