Latest News About Zeekr X Australia

Here’s the latest on Zeekr X in Australia based on recent public reporting up to 2025–2026.

• Launch and market entry: Zeekr formally launched in Australia around mid-2024, introducing the Zeekr X as the brand’s first model in the country with pre-orders starting in September 2024 and deliveries beginning in October 2024. The X was positioned as a compact luxury EV with a WLTP range around 400–450 km depending on configuration. This marked Zeekr’s first foray into the Australian market under Geely’s umbrella.[1][2]

• Vehicle specs and variants: In Australia, the Zeekr X was offered in at least two configurations—RWD and AWD—with a shared 66 kWh battery (brand communications note two drivetrain options: 200 kW RWD and 315 kW AWD). The AWD variant delivered notably faster acceleration (0–100 km/h in about 3.8 seconds) than the RWD version (around 5.6 seconds). Charging capability was up to about 150 kW, enabling a 10–80% fill in roughly 29 minutes under optimal conditions.[2][1]

• Pricing and market positioning: Early Australian pricing for the Zeekr X circulated around the mid-to-upper $40k USD-equivalent in some local analyses and above in others, with later dealer communications citing post-price-drop variants. The model was pitched to compete in the premium end of the small SUV segment, leveraging Zeekr’s luxury-electric branding and OTA-enabled feature updates.[9][1]

• Other Zeekr activity in Australia: Zeekr’s Australian footprint included announcements of additional models on the way (e.g., larger Zeekr 7X/SUV offerings) and a growing dealer network across major cities, as indicated by ongoing media coverage and dealership pages. Industry outlets and local automotive media tracked Zeekr’s expansion, confirming ongoing presence beyond the X.[4][8][2]

• Safety and recognition: The Zeekr X has earned high safety marks in some assessments, with mentions of strong ADAS packages and a five-star ANCAP rating in late 2024, supporting its premium positioning in Australia.[2]
