Australia's premier automotive media outlets deliver resounding acclaim for our flagship mid-size electric SUV
The Zeekr 7X has emerged as a defining moment in the evolution of electric mobility, earning widespread recognition from Australia's most authoritative automotive publications. As we prepare for the 2025 Australian market launch, leading industry experts have evaluated the 7X's capabilities, craftsmanship, and technological innovation—delivering insights that underscore our commitment to redefining premium electric transportation.
Craftsmanship That Transcends Expectations
The 7X's interior represents a masterclass in premium automotive design. From the moment reviewers opened the frameless doors, the cabin revealed unexpected sophistication, Nappa leather appointments flow seamlessly across seats, dashboard, and center console, while precision-engineered ambient lighting creates an atmosphere of refined elegance.
"I didn't expect it to feel quite so plush."
Matt Campbell, CarExpert
The spatial generosity is immediately apparent, with thoughtful proportions that balance openness with intimacy. Soft-touch materials, tasteful chrome accents, and crystal-pattern lighting details establish a premium environment that rivals established luxury marques.
"A cavernous and beautifully appointed interior with soft-touch, skin-friendly leather surfaces, tasteful chrome details, and crystal pattern ambient lighting."
Mark Rainford, Carsales
What truly distinguishes the 7X is the cohesive nature of its execution. Every panel junction aligns precisely, every material choice serves a purpose, creating an interior that feels greater than the sum of its components.
"There aren't cheap plastic panels where there shouldn't be... It's this attention to detail which makes a car feel more than the sum of its parts."

Dynamic Excellence and Refined Performance
The 7X delivers a driving experience that balances sophisticated comfort with engaging dynamics. The comfort-focused air suspension absorbs road imperfections with remarkable composure, while precise steering calibration provides accurate feedback. Power delivery is seamless and progressive, with the dual-motor configuration offering exceptional performance when required.
"A solid and smooth drive with comfort-focused air suspension and accurate steering that provides a relatively nimble response."

Despite considerable dimensions, the 7X manages its mass with impressive control. Lateral stability remains exceptional through dynamic maneuvers, while the chassis communicates confidence without sacrificing comfort.
The acoustic refinement sets a new standard for the segment. Substantial sound insulation creates an exceptionally serene cabin environment, proving particularly valuable for families where passenger comfort takes priority.
"Substantial cabin noise insulation creates a really serene feel inside... particularly those with young kids napping in the car."

Intelligent Design for Modern Family Life
The 7X incorporates thoughtful innovations that address real-world family requirements. The B-pillar mounted camera system provides visual monitoring of rear passengers without requiring drivers to turn around—invaluable for parents with young children.
"The B-pillar mounted camera offers a view of the back seat without the driver needing to take their full attention off the road ahead."

Spatial accommodation in the second row is exceptional. The near-three meter wheelbase creates genuinely limousine-like dimensions, with headroom, legroom, and toe-room that accommodates adults in complete comfort.

Synthesis of Global Excellence
The 7X represents the convergence of European automotive refinement and advanced Chinese technological development. This unique positioning combines the measured development approach and driving dynamics associated with premium European manufacturers with rapid innovation cycles characteristic of China's automotive sector.
"Zeekr isn't your average Chinese newcomer brand... Zeekr promises European driving refinement blended with the rapid development cycles and intense technological focus of China."
Tom White, CarsGuide
The user interface philosophy reflects this balanced approach. Rather than pursuing minimalism as an end goal, the 7X prioritizes intuitive functionality and familiar ergonomics, creating an accessible environment.
"The Zeekr 7X feels like a much more traditional vehicle. Zeekr's goal: to make it feel like a normal car, where the energy source is not immediately discernible."
Tom Baker, Chasing Cars
Industry Expert Consensus
Australian automotive media has delivered a unified verdict regarding the 7X's market significance. The comprehensive appeal positions the vehicle as one of the most significant electric SUV launches for 2025.
