ZEEKR X - A DEADLY SERIOUS CONTENDER ON THE COMPACT EV MARKET

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr X presents a compelling package in the compact EV market, impressing with its premium interior build quality and unique design elements. The reviewer highlights the high-grade, animal-free materials, comfortable seating, and thoughtful details like the integrated climate controls and ambient lighting as significant strengths. Performance is noted as strong, particularly the AWD version's acceleration, though the reviewer cautions that the car's handling during hard acceleration could be more controlled. Real-world range is estimated at around 320 km (200 miles) with a consumption of 21 kWh/100km, which is considered average for the segment. Downsides include some wind noise on the highway and a steering feel that could be more natural at higher speeds. A significant point of critique is the software, which, in this early prototype, exhibits bugs and requires further adaptation for the European market, impacting features like the reverse camera and driver assistance systems. Despite these software issues, the Zeekr X is deemed a very decent offering, especially considering its competitive pricing between €45,000 and €50,000.
