The Zeekr X has launched the Zeekr brand in Australia with pre-orders due from September and the first deliveries not long after that.
www.discoverauto.com.auHere’s the latest on Zeekr X in Australia:
- Zeekr officially launched in Australia in 2024 with the Zeekr X as its first model. Pre-orders opened mid-September 2024, with local deliveries starting in October 2024, and pricing reportedly starting below AUD 60,000 before on-road costs for the base model; AWD variants offered at higher prices. This marks Zeekr’s entry as a premium EV brand in the Australian market.[1][2]
- Australian coverage through 2024–2025 highlighted two X variants (RWD and AWD), with the X sharing the SEA platform and underpinings with related Geely EVs. Key specs included 66 kWh packs, WLTP ranges around 400–450 km (RWD ~400 km, AWD ~440–450 km), 0–100 km/h in about 5.6 seconds for RWD and 3.8 seconds for AWD, and charging up to 150 kW (roughly 10–80% in ~29 minutes).[2][1]
- Consumer and media coverage into 2025 suggested pricing shifts and ongoing availability in Australia, with emphasis on the X as Zeekr’s first Australian model and plans for additional Zeekr models (e.g., larger 009 MPV and later 7X/SUV variants) over the following years; debates around whether to buy now versus waiting for new trims and updates were common in EV outlets and enthusiast channels.[3][7]
- Notable Australian sources during 2024–2025 documented in-market reception, dealer networks, and model specifics, including the X’s dimensions, interior tech, safety gear (ANCAP five-star rating), and features like a 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, ambient lighting, and a Yamah 13-speaker audio system in higher trims.[8][2]
- YouTube and EV-focused outlets in Australia tracked price changes and model updates through 2025, with reports of price adjustments for the Zeekr X (including a reported mid-2024 price rebalancing in some channels) and ongoing discussions about future Zeekr models entering the market in 2025–2026, such as larger or more premium variants.[4][7]
Illustration (what to watch for next):
- If you’re considering a Zeekr X, keep an eye on if future 7X or 9X variants land in Australia and how pricing and incentives evolve, as Zeekr has signposted broader regional expansion beyond the X in 2025–2026.[3][4]
