From its super-strong steel body and sophisticated crash-protection system, to its meticulous weight reduction and acoustic management, the Zeekr 7X sets standards for safety, silence, and a seriously smooth ride.
In today’s fiercely competitive electric SUV market, body engineering has become the ultimate proving ground. The 7X design philosophy is living proof that safety and comfort are not mutually exclusive – that robust hybrid materials and rigorous testing, managed by detail-obsessed engineers, can deliver a genuine revolution in on-road resilience.
From its Dome-Armor architecture to class-leading noise- and vibration-reducing technologies, every innovation in the Zeekr 7X confirms an overriding truth in modern Electric Vehicle design: true luxury begins with reverence for life, and an unyielding commitment to excellence.
1. Dome Armor: Safety from the Inside Out
The head-turning centrepiece of the Zeekr’s design is the world’s first Dome-Armor body – a design that rewrites conventional crash-safety logic.
Hyper-strength pillars: Critical structural supports including the windshield pillar, the central pillar between the doors, and the doorframes use ultra-long, single-piece, hot blow-formed steel pillars to connect the car’s chassis to its roof. With a yield strength eight times that of submarine-grade steel and single-side lengths up to 2.35 metres, these weld-free members create a continuous ‘skeletal armor’ that significantly reduces the risk of injury in rollovers or side impacts.
Intersection safety legend: In a multi-vehicle intersection crash test, the Dome-Armor body withstood a side impact from an 8-ton truck at 50 km/h. Rear protection is equally impressive: during a high-speed, rear-end ramming by a 4-ton cargo truck, the Zeekr 7X’s integral structure showed virtually no deformation.
720° all-round shield: Beginning with the front bumper beam, the Zeekr 7X features eight horizontal and nine vertical ‘crash beams’: a comprehensive protection system that has won a five-star Euro NCAP rating. With the addition of a cast-aluminium rear body section, anti-piercing steel plates, and a 10-grid battery safeguard, these members work together to dissipate impact energy, protect the battery pack, and keep the car’s occupants safe.
This engineering tour de force elevates the safety ceiling of pure-electric SUVs, making the Zeekr 7X a genuine “fortress on wheels”.
2. Steel-Aluminium Optimisation: the Art of Lightness
Zeekr has turned the art of automotive ‘lightweighting’ into a precise statistical science. The Zeekr 7X achieves the optimal blend of performance and efficiency with a body composed of 83.3% high-strength steel and aluminium alloys. Its chassis combines both materials, while the front axle employs aluminium upper and lower control arms, lower wishbones, and steering knuckles – shaving kilograms off the car’s weight while optimising its structural integrity and strength.
3. NVH Mastery: Creating a Serene Sanctuary
The Zeekr 7X pairs bold frameless doors with top-tier NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) engineering and physical noise-reduction solutions to craft an oasis of calm. Owner tests confirm its excellence: even at highway speeds, wind noise is virtually imperceptible – leaving the cabin hushed and luxuriously peaceful.
From the unyielding Dome-Armor body to its featherlight steel-aluminum architecture, and a careful acoustic craftsmanship hidden behind frameless doors, the Zeekr 7X proves that safety and comfort can comfortably – and calmly – coexist in an electric SUV. While segment rivals continue to battle over range and technology features, Zeekr has once again raised the bar by showing how sophisticated the modern electric SUV really can be.
The Zeekr 7X’s phenomenal results speak for themselves: true luxury begins with respect for life, but it only reaches its zenith through an unrelenting obsession with detail.
