Zeekr showed the updated 7X at the Paris Motor Show on 12 October 2026, and the European version of the mid-size electric SUV now comes in three trims: Core RWD, Long Range RWD and Privilege AWD. The rear-drive cars get a 335 kW motor (455 PS, about 449 hp), the all-wheel-drive Privilege reaches 500 kW (680 PS, about 670 hp) and 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, and Zeekr quotes provisional WLTP ranges of 482, 627 and 545 km. Zeekr Europe lists the 7X from €52,990 including VAT, with first customer deliveries planned for the first quarter of 2027. The update brings new bumpers, a redesigned centre console, a Bosch-based driver assistance system with seven cameras and three radars, and (reportedly) faster DC charging on the 75 kWh Core. It is a European specification, so it differs in battery, charging voltage and dimensions from the 7X sold in China.
Performance & Specs
All three trims are battery-electric (BEV) and sit on Zeekr's 800-volt SEA platform. The Core RWD and Long Range RWD use a single rear motor rated at 335 kW (455 PS, about 449 hp), and Zeekr's model page gives 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds for the Core and 5.5 seconds for the Long Range. The Privilege AWD adds a second motor for a combined 500 kW (680 PS, about 670 hp) and a 3.7 second sprint. PS is the metric horsepower, about 1.4 percent smaller than the imperial hp used here, which is why Zeekr's "680 HP" works out to roughly 670 hp.
Zeekr has not published torque or top speed for the updated cars, so neither figure appears in this article. Zeekr's own model page lists a towing capacity of 2,000 kg on all three trims and 172 mm of standard ground clearance. The Privilege AWD is the only trim with active air suspension, which changes the ride height by -25 mm to +45 mm, and it can be ordered with four electrically operated doors. The Core and Long Range ride on 19-inch wheels, while the Privilege has 21-inch wheels as standard.

Dimensions & Practicality
| Length | 4,800 mm |
|---|---|
| Width (with mirrors) | 2,100 mm |
| Height (with antenna) | 1,650 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,900 mm |

Zeekr Europe lists the 7X at 4,800 mm long, 2,100 mm wide including mirrors, 1,650 mm tall including the antenna, on a 2,900 mm wheelbase. Some independent outlets give the length as 4,787 mm, so the official figure is probably rounded. The boot holds 539 litres by the European VDA method on every trim, and Zeekr says it can be partitioned. The rear doors open almost 90 degrees to make it easier to get children, bags or pets in and out, and the seat options, from power adjustment to heating, ventilation and massage, depend on the trim. Zeekr does not state a frunk volume or a kerb weight for the updated car.

Charging & Battery
Zeekr quotes 10.5 minutes for a 10-80% charge of the 75 kWh Core RWD, and 15 minutes for the two 100 kWh trims, Long Range RWD and Privilege AWD. EVupdate and ElektroQuatsch report that the Core's battery is LFP with a peak of up to 450 kW (the press release also says up to 450 kW), and that the two 100 kWh packs are NMC with a peak of up to 420 kW. Zeekr's model page pairs the 10.5-minute figure with about 300 km of added range at a 480 kW charger, and all times are provisional manufacturer figures that assume a suitable charger and conditions. Zeekr does not say whether the 75 and 100 kWh figures are gross or usable capacity, and it has not published AC charging power or energy consumption for the updated cars.
As an arithmetic check, if the quoted capacities were all usable, the ranges imply roughly 15.6 kWh/100 km for the Core (75 kWh over 482 km), 15.9 for the Long Range and 18.3 for the Privilege at the battery, before charging losses. That is a plausible spread for a heavier dual-motor car on 21-inch wheels. CarNewsChina reports 310 to 335 kW and 470 to 500 kW versus the 2025 model-year car, which was sold in Europe with WLTP ranges of 480 and 618 km for the two rear-drive trims, but ElektroQuatsch says the power figures are unchanged, so the size of the power gain is not settled.
| BATTERY | 75 kWh LFP (Core); 100 kWh NMC (Long Range, Privilege) (chemistry reported) |
|---|---|
| VOLTAGE | 800 V |
| DC FAST CHARGING | Up to 450 kW (Core); up to 420 kW (Long Range, Privilege) (reported) |
| DC 10-80% TIME | 10.5 min (Core); 15 min (Long Range, Privilege) |
Design & Interior
The exterior changes are modest and concentrate on the bumpers: the front and rear bumpers are new, and the rear tailgate is revised. Zeekr says the 7X was designed at its Design Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, and describes seamless surfaces, a swooping roofline and adaptive matrix LED headlamps and a slim light bar across the nose. From the first quarter of 2027 two new colours, Glacier Silver and Mystic Lilac, join the existing Tech Grey, Crystal White, Forest Green and Onyx Black, and new 21-inch wheel designs arrive at the same time.
Inside, the redesigned centre console no longer has a storage bump behind the wireless charging pad. The Privilege uses Nappa and PU upholstery in Charcoal Black, while the Core and Long Range use textile and PU in Bermuda Sloop. French outlet Automobile Propre reports that the 16-inch central screen and the 13-inch instrument display are carried over unchanged. Zeekr stresses that many functions keep physical controls rather than moving into the touchscreen, which makes them easier to use while driving.
Technology & Features
The headline technology change is a new Bosch-based driver assistance system with seven cameras and three radars. Zeekr says it supports adaptive cruise control and automatic parking, and the Fingertip Park Assist function starts a parking manoeuvre with a tap. Remote Park Assist lets the driver step out first and move the car into a tight space with a smartphone, and it needs at least Digital Key 3.0 and a compatible Apple device. A phone or watch can act as the key, and the car has 5G connectivity, a companion app with remote access and a Premium Navigation service in the Zeekr app store.
Zeekr's in-car gaming platform, AirConsole, is being rolled out to selected European models by the end of 2026 and needs a Zeekr Connected Premium subscription. Zeekr's announcement does not name the models, and Spanish outlet Motor.es reports the 7X among them. CarNewsChina notes that Geely's more advanced assisted-driving packages are not part of the European specification as announced.
Safety & ADAS
Zeekr Europe cites a five-star Euro NCAP rating for the 7X, with 91 percent for adult occupant protection and 90 percent for child occupant protection. The updated car adds the new Bosch-based assistance suite and all trims have driver assistance as standard, according to the model page. Zeekr gives a warranty of up to 10 years when the car is serviced at recommended service points, including 8 years on the high-voltage battery, 4 years on paintwork, 12 years against corrosion and 3 years of roadside assistance.

Pricing & Availability
Zeekr Europe's Paris press release lists the 7X from €52,990 and says this price includes VAT; local prices may vary. The per-trim prices below are the figures reported for the Dutch configurator by EVupdate and for France by CarNewsChina, VAT not stated by either outlet: €52,990 for the Core RWD, €57,990 for the Long Range RWD and €64,990 for the Privilege AWD. Automobile Propre confirms the French starting price of €52,990. The updated 7X can be ordered in France now, first customer deliveries are planned for the first quarter of 2027, and the new colours and wheel designs also arrive then. In Germany the update is introduced in October 2026 with deliveries from the first quarter of 2027, but the German price list has not been published; the pre-update 7X was listed there from €54,990. Zeekr Europe sells cars in 22 European markets, and the original 7X has passed 200,000 units built worldwide.
How It Compares
Against its European rivals the 7X Privilege AWD leads on power and price. The BMW iX3 50 xDrive has 463 hp and up to 806 km WLTP for €70,900 in Germany, so the Zeekr offers about 207 hp more and costs €5,910 less, but gives up roughly 260 km of range. The Audi Q6 e-tron quattro makes 422 hp (456 hp with launch control) and up to 642 km for €74,700, which puts it €9,710 above the Privilege on paper with less power and more range. At the rear-drive end, the Zeekr 7X Long Range RWD costs €57,990 for 449 hp and 627 km, against the BMW iX3 40 at €63,400 with 316 hp and up to 637 km, so the two have almost the same range while the Zeekr has far more power for €5,410 less.
These comparisons mix markets. The Zeekr prices are French and Dutch figures and the rivals are German list prices including VAT (Zeekr's own "from" price includes VAT, but VAT is not stated for the per-trim Zeekr figures), and the Zeekr's WLTP ranges are still provisional. Against the 7X sold in China the European car differs in several places: the Chinese facelift uses a 103 kWh NMC pack, a 900-volt system on its long-range and Ultra trims, 784 hp and a 2.98 second sprint, with ranges quoted on the more generous CLTC cycle and prices of RMB 229,800 to 269,800. The Chinese car is also longer, at 4,825 mm with a 2,925 mm wheelbase, so the two should not be read as the same specification.
- 500 kW (670 hp) and 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds in the Privilege AWD, priced below the German list prices of comparable BMW and Audi SUVs
- Fast 800-volt charging: 10-80% in 10.5 minutes for the 75 kWh Core and 15 minutes for the 100 kWh trims
- 539 L VDA boot, 2,000 kg towing and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating on a 2,900 mm wheelbase
- WLTP ranges and charging times are provisional, and the AWD's 545 km is 82 km below the Long Range RWD's 627 km
- Torque, top speed, AC charging power and consumption are not published, and battery capacities are not stated as gross or usable
The updated 7X keeps the family-SUV recipe and sharpens it where it counts: 455 PS rear-drive cars with up to 627 km WLTP, an AWD flagship with 680 PS, and charging times that few rivals match on paper. The Long Range RWD at €57,990 is the value pick, with almost the same range as a BMW iX3 40 for about €5,400 less, while the Privilege suits buyers who want speed and air suspension. The open questions are the provisional WLTP figures and the missing torque and top speed. Wait for final range figures and the German price list if those matter to you; otherwise this is one of the stronger-value electric SUVs in the European mid-size class.
