Zeekr has launched a compact luxury electric SUV that packs lots of innovation including a mini refrigerator inside. The Zeekr X luxury SUV features face unlock and are the first luxury electric crossover model powered by a high-performance battery. The model however comes with a huge price tag.

The Zeekr brand is an offshoot of the Geely brand and it has continued to churn out solid EVs. Its latest offering is the Zeekr X EV, a luxury and compact electric SUV. It comes with foldable rear electric seats and also houses a fridge that can maintain temperatures as low as -15ºC. It is an urban SUV that comes with a quite futuristic design. It supports face unlock and access, and its moving central screen can be used to provide entertainment for any of the occupants.

There are various variants of the Zeekr but they all come highly expensive. The single-motor model of the SUV can race from 0 to 96km/h in just 5.8 seconds. The ternary 66kWh battery of this variant delivers a range of 560km on a full charge, which is highly impressive. In EPA terms, the range could however be reduced to less than 400km (245 miles).

The single-motor RWD version of the Zeekr X EV will retail at $27,610. The higher models can accelerate from 0 to 96km/h in 3.7 seconds and are priced above $30,000. The Zeekr X EV will be available globally. It is the company’s first EV global launch hence the costs could be significantly higher in overseas markets outside China. This is a result of import testing and certification taxes that will be transferred to the customer. Zeekr is already receiving pre-orders for the model with the first deliveries expected by June 2023.
