2025 ZEEKR X REVIEW: IS THIS THE BEST NEW CHINESE EV?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Zeekr X is presented as a compelling, stylish, and surprisingly dynamic compact electric SUV, particularly in its All-Wheel Drive configuration. Reviewers praise its "sexy," "voluptuous" exterior design and a "premium," "luxury" interior with soft-touch materials, a high-quality Yamaha sound system, and an intuitive infotainment system that rivals Tesla's. The driving dynamics are a highlight, with the AWD model offering "phenomenal" handling, a "European feeling" ride, and "stupid powerful" acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in a rapid 4 seconds. However, significant drawbacks temper the enthusiasm. Practicality is a major concern, with a small cargo area, limited underfloor storage, and a tiny frunk. The interior, while luxurious, lacks a glove box and has some questionable design choices like the flimsy fabric storage and potentially unstable cup holders. The most significant issue is the real-world range, estimated at only 320 km due to inefficient energy consumption (19.2 kWh/100km). Charging speed, while decent at 150 kW DC, is not class-leading. Driver assistance systems, while less intrusive than some competitors, can be overly sensitive. Ultimately, while the Zeekr X is lauded as a beautiful and fun EV, its practicality and range limitations prevent it from being a definitive segment leader.
