The already-confirmed for Oz, Zeekr 7X, has had pricing locked in for Europe where sales will kick off in mid-2025 for the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway.
The Zeekr 7X mid-size SUV is an electric car that’s set to join the Zeekr X small SUV and 009 luxury people-mover in Australia in 2025.
It’s built on the same version of the Geely brand’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) as the Zeekr 007, a premium sedan, but it’s not a version of the platform shared with Geely sibling brands Volvo or Polestar.
'Absolutely insane product': Tesla Model Y and Polestar 3 electric SUV rivalling Zeekr 7X confirmed for Australia boasting crazy acceleration and charging times
Zeekr back-pedals as electric car-only brand overseas, joining the likes of Chinese EV brands Xpeng and Nio in planning to introduce hybrid cars: Report
What does this brand offer that Aion, Smart, Jaecoo, Leapmotor and more don't? Hybrids and electric cars from Lynk & Co back on the cards for Australia after Zeekr takeover but will it be able to trouble Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz?
Local details, including pricing, are yet to be locked in, the information available from overseas gives us a few hints at what to expect.
The most recent news is that pricing for the Tesla Model Y rival has been confirmed for the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway. Each country has its own different starting price, but direct conversions put the cost between A$75,000 to A$87,000.
This sounds like a lot, but Tesla’s Swedish website currently has pricing listed between the equivalent of A$80,000 and A$98,700. The EU has tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China, which currently amount to 18.8 per cent for brands in Geely's portfolio (as Zeekr is) or 7.8 per cent for Tesla.
Given Australia has no such tariffs, we can expect the Zeekr’s pricing to be rather competitive when it lands in Australia. For reference, the Model Y starts at $55,900 for the base RWD.

In Europe’s the 7X has a driving range of up to 615km, an option of a roughly 310kW single-motor or 470kW twin-motor drivetrain, and ‘future-proof’ 480kW maximum DC charging thanks to an 800-volt system.
In the EU, claimed charging from 10 to 80 per cent takes just 13 minutes on a 360kW charger.
At 4825mm long, 1930mm wide and 1656mm tall with a 2925mm wheelbase it’s just a little bigger than the Model Y.
Right-hand drive production will kick off in 2025, and local arrivals shouldn’t be long afterwards.
What should you expect in terms of features and fitout? Zeekr’s local boss Connal Yan told CarsGuide earlier this year it’s “absolutely insane product, top-notch quality…” and that it would be packed with “plush materials, comfort, spaciousness”.
