China's 2027 Zeekr 7X update adds a mid-range 85 kWh LFP battery, a full-stack 900V electrical package and richer comfort and driver-assist kit, with pre-sale pricing from 229,800 yuan (about US$34,220). Australia's MY27 7X, which you can order now from $57,900 before on-road costs, keeps an 800V system, 75/100 kWh batteries and lower power outputs. Zeekr Australia has not said when — or whether — the China-only upgrades will come here.
For the local MY27 price hold, power bump and launch offer, see our earlier story on the Australian Zeekr 7X MY27 update.
What China's 2027 7X gets
Zeekr opened China pre-sales on 5 November 2026 for three grades: RWD Max, RWD Max+ and AWD Ultra. The starting pre-sale price is unchanged from the previous China 7X at 229,800 yuan. An official launch was previously flagged for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Battery: New 85 kWh Geely/Energee “Golden Brick” / Shendun LFP pack between the existing 75 kWh LFP and 103 kWh CATL Qilin NMC options. Max+ is 85 kWh as standard, with an optional 103 kWh pack. Ultra uses 103 kWh.
Architecture: Zeekr and China EV media describe a full-stack 900V motor, electronic control and thermal-management system across the lineup. Some Chinese reporting has previously said only the largest battery was fully 900V-rated, so treat marketing wording carefully until Zeekr publishes a full technical sheet.
Charging: 75 and 85 kWh packs: peak 5.5C, 10–80% in 10.5 minutes (claimed). 103 kWh: 6C peak, 10–80% in 10 minutes (claimed). Real times depend on the charger.
Power: Unchanged from China's prior update — RWD 370 kW / 535 Nm; AWD Ultra 585 kW / 812 Nm, with a claimed 0–100 km/h of 2.98 seconds on the Ultra.
Range (CLTC): Max 75 kWh about 620 km; Max+ 85 kWh about 680 km; Ultra 103 kWh about 715 km; Max+ with optional 103 kWh up to about 802 km. Drive quotes approximate WLTP conversions of about 502 / 551 / 579 / 650 km for those packs.
Chassis and comfort: CCD electromagnetic damping newly standard; tyre-blowout stability system; RNC active noise cancellation; “Cloud-Sense” zero-gravity front seats and upgraded rear “Cloud-Comfort” seats with more slide and massage functions on China cars.
Tech: G-ASD / G-Pilot 4.1 with navigation-assisted driving and parking-space-to-parking-space / door-to-door style functions as marketed in China. New Dawn Gold and Cloud Red (Cloud Amber Red) exterior colours, plus new wheel designs and interior themes.
China 2027 vs Australian MY27
Australian figures below are the MY27 cars now on sale here. China figures are the domestic pre-sale lineup. CLTC and WLTP are not interchangeable.
Item | China 2027 7X | Australia MY27 7X |
|---|---|---|
Entry price | 229,800 yuan pre-sale (~US$34,220) | $57,900 before on-road costs (RWD) |
Grades | Max / Max+ / Ultra | RWD / Long Range RWD / Performance AWD |
Batteries | 75 / 85 / 103 kWh | 75 kWh LFP; 100 kWh NMC on Long Range and Performance |
Electrical system | 900V package (as marketed) | 800V |
RWD power | 370 kW / 535 Nm | 335 kW / 520 Nm |
AWD power | 585 kW / 812 Nm | 500 kW / 790 Nm |
AWD 0–100 km/h | 2.98 s (claimed) | 3.7 s (claimed) |
Peak DC charging | 5.5C / 6C class claims; 10–80% from 10–10.5 min | Up to 450 kW; 10–80% about 11–15 min depending on version |
Damping | CCD electromagnetic damping standard | Not part of the China-style standard CCD package |
Front light signature | Programmable “Stargate” full-width bar on China cars | Misses China's more complex Stargate bar (AU MY27 gets minor bumper/tailgate refresh) |
Australia's Long Range RWD still posts a strong WLTP figure of 627 km on the 100 kWh pack, which can look better than some China WLTP conversions on paper — but China alone gets the 85 kWh LFP step and the higher-output 900V motors.
Will the China update come to Australia?
Zeekr Australia has not announced a plan or date to bring the China 2027 battery, 900V architecture or related China-only kit to local showrooms. Drive's coverage of the China launch states there is still no word on when updates such as 900V electronics will expand to export markets, if ever.
What Australia does have now is the export-style MY27 refresh: more power at the same prices, minor exterior and console changes, and a launch offer running to 31 December 2026. First local deliveries of that MY27 car are expected in December 2026. If you need variant-by-variant equipment advice, our Zeekr 7X RWD vs Long Range vs Performance guide still applies, and full local pricing sits on the Zeekr 7X model page.
Bottom line: the China car is ahead on voltage architecture, battery choice and several comfort/ADAS features. Until Zeekr Australia confirms an import plan, Australian buyers should treat the MY27 7X as the car they can actually order — not a promise of the China 2027 pack.
