On January 10, Zeekr launched its 2024 Zeekr X pure-electric compact SUV. The new car offers four- and five-seater options in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, respectively, priced at 200,000 yuan (~28,000 USD) and 220,000 yuan (~31,000 USD).
As an annual facelift model, the appearance of the 2024 Zeekr X has not been significantly adjusted. The front face still uses a closed grille design, semi-hidden headlights, and H-shaped daytime running lights. The rear remains layered with clear ridges, long and narrow taillights, and a luminous letter logo in the middle.
From the side, the 2024 Zeekr X comes standard with rear privacy glass, frameless doors, hidden door handles, and 19-inch rims. Both button unlocking and keyless entry are supported.
Consumers can choose from six exterior body colors, including a new color called Su Mo Gray. Its size remains unchanged, coming at 4450/1836/1572 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm.
At the same time, the new Zeekr X comes standard with the ZAD advanced driving assistance system consisting of 31 sensors including 12 cameras, five millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, one lidar, and one driver monitoring camera, achieving full-speed range adaptive cruise control, large vehicle avoidance, and blind spot monitoring.
The new car continues to be offered in single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive with two improvements in the powertrain system, according to Zeekr. First, the electric motor’s overall efficiency has been increased by 2%. Second, the braking system uses an intelligent integrated braking system (IPB), which is twice as fast as that of traditional braking systems. In addition, a new driving mode called urban off-road is also added.
