Geely counts on the Zeekr 7X midsize SUV to compete with Tesla’s bestselling Model Y
Zeekr’s 7X will come in two battery options that can run up to 605km or 780km on a single charge, the carmaker said
The midsize fully electric SUV, known as Zeekr 7X, will be the fifth production model for a company that posted a 66-per cent jump in second-quarter deliveries.
The vehicle, which debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show on Friday, will come in a right-hand drive variant for export markets in future, Zeekr said. The 7X will be offered with two battery options that can travel up to 605km or 780km on a single charge, Zeekr said, without disclosing the catalogue prices.
The 7X will be built on the open-source Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform launched by Geely in late 2020. The platform supports a wide range of battery-powered vehicles, from passenger cars and SUVs to commercial vans and trucks.
