THE BEST EV I’VE DRIVEN THIS YEAR: ZEEKR 7X REVIEW (INC. 0-100 & BRAKING)

EV Channels Review

The Zeekr 7X Performance All-Wheel Drive is presented as a compelling alternative in the performance EV SUV segment, significantly undercutting rivals like the Tesla Model Y Performance on price while offering comparable or superior features and performance. The reviewer, Paul Maric, is highly impressed, calling it the "BEST EV I’ve driven this year." He praises its sensational design, the "topspec" interior with Nappa leather, and a comprehensive infotainment system that is among the best he's tested, despite minor issues with CarPlay dropping out and some climate controls being screen-dependent. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample storage, a versatile cabin, and thoughtful features like the child-monitoring camera and interchangeable modules. The performance is exceptional, with 0-100 km/h in 3.76 seconds and a remarkable 100-0 km/h braking distance of 2.57 seconds. The reviewer notes the adaptive damping and air suspension provide a good balance between comfort and sportiness, though the comfort setting can feel a bit "floaty." Downsides include limited lumbar support in the seats, poor rearward visibility necessitating a digital rear-view mirror, and some intrusive safety aids that don't always stay disabled. Despite these minor criticisms, the Zeekr 7X is lauded for its "insane value for money," functionality, and driving dynamics, making it a standout offering.
