The first photos of the interior of the new Zeekr 8X have appeared online, offering a detailed look at the cabin of the flagship SUV ahead of its official debut. According to Y-Auto, the Zeekr 8X is scheduled to launch in China in the first quarter of 2026.

The model will be one of Zeekr’s largest and most technologically advanced SUVs and will target the premium segment with an emphasis on comfort, digital technology, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

Zeekr 8X Interior: Dual-Screen Dashboard and Premium Features

Judging by leaked images, the Zeekr 8X’s interior follows the brand’s signature design language while incorporating a number of new layout solutions.

Key features of the front cabin:

an integrated dual-screen system combining the central multimedia display and the front passenger’s entertainment screen;
dual cup holders and a wireless charging pad for smartphones;
a gear selector on the steering column, which frees up space on the center console and emphasizes the premium character of the interior.

Rear-seat comfort: a ceiling-mounted screen and a spacious second row

The rear of the cabin is clearly designed for maximum passenger comfort. The second row looks spacious, and rear passengers are treated to a large overhead entertainment screen—a feature rarely found even in premium SUVs.

The branding in the images confirms the use of a Naim audio system, which is traditionally installed in the top-of-the-line Zeekr models and underscores the status of this new model.

Zeekr 8X Exterior: “Waterfall” Grille and Active Aerodynamics

Official images of the Zeekr 8X’s exterior were released earlier and complement the spy photos of the interior well.

The front of the SUV features:

a vertical “waterfall”-style radiator grille;
a sculpted hood with air intakes on the sides;
an active, intelligent radiator grille with an adjustable opening area of up to 10 square millimeters, which improves aerodynamics and cooling efficiency.

A LiDAR module is visible on the roof, indicating the presence of advanced hardware for driver-assistance systems and future autonomous driving capabilities.

Body and Aerodynamics: A Large SUV with Thoughtful Details

The body lines—the roof, shoulder, and waistlines—converge near the front axle, creating a visually dynamic silhouette.
The doors are flush with the body surface and feature a mirror-finish, which, according to the manufacturer, helps reduce aerodynamic drag.

According to registration data, the Zeekr 8X’s dimensions are as follows:

length — 5,100 mm;
width — 1,998 mm;
height — 1,780 mm;
wheelbase — 3,069 mm.

The 1:4 wheel-to-body ratio firmly places the model in the segment of large premium SUVs, comparable to the flagship models of European and Chinese brands.

Rear lighting: nearly 55,000 light elements

The rear of the Zeekr 8X features a single, “coastline”-style taillight.
The lighting unit comprises 54,894 diamond-shaped surfaces and utilizes infrared lighting technology with a wavelength of 630 nm, underscoring the brand’s high-tech approach to design and lighting technology.

Powertrain and Range

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China, the Zeekr 8X will be equipped with the same super-hybrid electric powertrain as the Zeekr 9X.

Key specifications:

top speed — 220 km/h;
optional 70 kWh battery;
