2025 ZEEKR X REVIEW: IS THIS LEGACY EV'S WORST NIGHTMARE?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Zeekr X, particularly the rear-wheel-drive Long Range model reviewed, presents a compelling design and a surprisingly sorted ride and handling package for its price point, undercutting its platform-mate, the Volvo EX30. The interior is well-presented with a notable driver's display, a feature absent in Teslas. However, the value proposition falters slightly in the base model, with the reviewer suggesting the Tesla Model Y offers better overall value due to its larger size and more advanced tech. Key drawbacks include manual passenger seat adjustment, lack of standard seat heating/cooling, and a somewhat cramped second row. While the infotainment system is responsive and features smartphone mirroring, the charging speed and overall range are considered average. The reviewer highlights the car's potential for fun with stability control off, offering a more engaging driving experience than some competitors, but notes that software issues with regenerative braking and semi-autonomous driving features need refinement. Ultimately, the Zeekr X is seen as a stylish, capable EV, but its pricing and feature set in the entry-level trim may not fully justify its cost against established rivals.
