An electric crossover from Geely and Volvo for pennies? The dream is becoming reality!
Geely and Volvo have unveiled the unique Zeekr X electric crossover, priced similarly to the Duster and capable of traveling up to 420 km on a single charge. The model has gone on sale in China and is already generating significant interest among car enthusiasts.
The Zeekr X is the most affordable electric crossover in the lineup
The base version of the Zeekr X, equipped with a 272-si-xny electric motor, delivers impressive performance: it accelerates to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds. Prices for the model start at 149,900 yuan, and with the government subsidy, the price drops to 134,900 yuan.
The main difference in the new version of the Zeekr X is its 49 kWh battery, which provides a range of 420 km. The efficient and powerful 272-l.s. electric motor with 343 N·m of torque, mounted on the rear axle, remains unchanged.
Exterior Differences and New Colors
Visually, the base Zeekr X differs from the higher-trim versions with its 18-inch wheels and the option to choose black as a body color, which has been added to the palette. The available colors and updated design help the new model stand out on the road.
Why the Zeekr X Has Become More Affordable
The decision to release a lower-priced version was driven by reduced demand in the Chinese market. From May 2023 to September 2024, only 28,926 Zeekr X vehicles were sold in China, with a significant portion of them destined for export.
Technical Specifications and Shared Platform with the Volvo EX30
The Zeekr X crossover is built on the same platform as the Volvo EX30, which ensures high reliability and performance. In addition to the base model, the Zeekr X is available with a 66 kWh battery, while the top-of-the-line version is equipped with a powerful 428-silny all-wheel-drive powertrain for those seeking maximum performance.
In addition to crossovers, the company recently unveiled another innovative model—the Zeekr Mix electric minivan—which has already drawn attention to the brand.
The Zeekr X is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-quality, affordable electric crossover with good performance and fuel-efficient driving range. The model offers advanced technical solutions from Geely and Volvo at an affordable price, making it an excellent choice for car enthusiasts looking to switch to eco-friendly transportation.
