Introduction: Geely’s Premium EV Brand Strikes Again
Late 2023 Geely’s premium electric vehicle (EV) sub-brand, ZEEKR, unveiled the ZEEKR X, a premium compact electric sport utility vehicle (SUV), employing the SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform. The car is ZEEKR’s third model lineup launched after the ZEEKR 001 shooting brake and ZEEKR 009 luxury MPV, with a target user group of younger urban users who seek both performance, style and digital experience in a smaller size of a vehicle.
At a price range of RMB ¥189,800 – 209,800 (USD $26,500 – 29,500), the ZEEKR X is on par with the luxury interior, fast acceleration and innovation in smart driving offers of Tesla Model Y, Smart #1 and BYD Song L.
Exterior: Compact SUV Meets Futuristic Coupe
The ZEEKR X adopts an avant-garde design language that blends coupe aesthetics with SUV practicality.
Closed-off front grille with integrated LED light blades
Hidden door handles and camera-based side mirrors (optional)
Frameless doors with flush contours and dual-color body options
Bold ZEEKR-style split headlamp design with dynamic DRLs
Compact body:
Length: 4450 mm
Width: 1836 mm
Height: 1572 mm
Wheelbase: 2750 mm
The ZEEKR X is slightly shorter than the Tesla Model Y but offers similar cabin space thanks to clever packaging on the SEA platform.
Interior: Premium Materials + Smart Experience
Despite its compact footprint, the ZEEKR X boasts a high-end, minimalist cabin with elegant finishes and cutting-edge tech.
14.6-inch central touchscreen (floating design)
8.8-inch digital cluster, heads-up display (HUD optional)

The floating console and retractable gear selector contribute to a futuristic and clutter-free driving environment.
