The 2026 Zeekr X launches in Australia with an updated, sharper design profile, new colours and an extended list of standard features. Measuring in at 4432mm long, 1836mm wide, 1566mm high, and riding on a 2750mm wheelbase, Zeekr X shares the same platform as stablemate Volvo’s EX30.

More powerful electric motors are also now standard, with the single motor X generating 250kW through the rear wheels, combined with a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery and claimed 405km range on the WLTP cycle. The AWD steps that up with a 115kW front motor, and 250kW rear motor for a combined system output of 365kW, paired with a Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) battery and a WLTP claimed 415km driving range. Those power figures represent a 50kW gain for both RWD and AWD models.

As a result, the Zeekr X is a rapid SUV. The RWD will sprint from 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds, while the AWD makes the run in just 3.7 seconds.

Zeekr claims 230kW fast charging capability for the LFP battery in the RWD, with 10-80 percent achieved in 18 minutes, while the 150kW charging capability for the AWD means 10-80 percent charging in 30 minutes.

Changes also include a new matte khaki green and onyx black exterior colour option for the AWD model, black forged 20-inch rims also for the AWD model, and optional automatic doors for the AWD model.

Updates for the 2026 model include a deeper level of standard equipment including heated first and second row seats (RWD and AWD), inductive steering wheel controls (RWD and AWD), a 13-speaker Yamaha surround sound audio system (RWD and AWD). The 14.6-inch touchscreen now runs Zeekr’s newest 5.5 operating system, which is snappier, and brings improved functionality and a richer user experience.

In addition, AWD models get first row massage seats, and a temperature controlled fridge mounted under the armrest in the centre console. Across the range, X models get Zeekr’s advanced driver assistance system, ‘Zeekr AD’, which includes five high definition cameras, five millimetre wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors and remote parking assist.

Zeekr will announce pricing in the coming weeks, with speculation suggesting the RWD will be launched beneath $50,000 drive away, and the AWD beneath $60,000 drive away. WhichCar will cover pricing as soon as it is announced.
