The Zeekr 7X range starts at $57,900 before on-road costs for the RWD, rises to $63,900 before on-road costs for the Long Range RWD and reaches $72,900 before on-road costs for the Performance AWD. The three variants share the same spacious five-seat SUV body and 800 V electrical architecture, but their batteries, range, charging performance, equipment and drivetrains differ significantly. The standard RWD is the lowest-cost way into a 7X and has an impressive 310 kW rear motor, 480 km WLTP range and exceptionally fast charging capability. Spending another $6,000 on the Long Range RWD increases battery capacity from 75 kWh to 100 kWh and official range to 615 km while adding several desirable cabin features. The $72,900 Performance AWD uses the same 100 kWh battery but adds a second motor, 475 kW, 710 Nm, all-wheel drive, air suspension and a claimed 3.8-second 0–100 km/h time, while range falls to 543 km. For many Australian buyers, the Long Range RWD is likely to provide the most useful upgrade because its extra money goes towards range and everyday equipment rather than performance they may rarely use. The RWD remains compelling for urban and suburban buyers, while Performance AWD makes the strongest case for drivers who specifically want AWD, air suspension and supercar-like acceleration.
