ZEEKR 7X DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr 7X is presented as a strong contender in the electric SUV market, particularly noted for its impressive price-performance ratio. The reviewer highlights its rapid acceleration, particularly in the AWD Privilege trim (0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds), and its advanced charging capabilities, including 800V architecture supporting up to 480 kW DC charging. The interior receives praise for its quality, clean design, and features like ventilated charging pads and a high-quality sound system. However, the reviewer expresses reservations about the automatic doors, deeming them over-engineered and less convenient than manual ones. Driving dynamics are a mixed bag: while the power is abundant, the steering feel is criticized for lacking feedback and feeling somewhat disconnected, especially in the air-suspension equipped Privilege model. Interestingly, the reviewer found the base suspension (on the Long Range model) to offer a more engaging and controllable driving experience, despite being stiffer. Real-world consumption averaged around 22 kWh/100km, translating to an estimated range of 440 km for the larger battery. The reviewer concludes that while Zeekr excels in technology, charging, and pricing, there's still room for improvement in driving dynamics to truly challenge established premium manufacturers.
