CarExpert has wrapped up a six-month test of the 2026 Zeekr 7X Long Range RWD in Australia, covering more than 5,000km of commuting, errands and longer journeys. The review team rated it among the strongest Chinese-brand SUVs available, and a compelling mid-size electric alternative to the Tesla Model Y. Its strengths included a premium-feeling cabin, a cushioned ride and generous passenger and luggage space; drawbacks included controls that rely heavily on the touchscreen and occasional body movement over the road.
The Long Range costs A$63,900 before on-road costs. The test car’s optional paint and two-tone interior added A$3,000, bringing its configured price to A$66,900 before on-road costs, or about A$73,400 drive-away. It uses a 100kWh NMC battery, a single rear motor producing 310kW and 440Nm, and an 800V electrical system. Zeekr quotes a 615km WLTP range target; the test returned energy consumption of 17.3kWh/100km, while acceleration from 0–100km/h took 5.6 seconds in testing.
The cabin pairs a 16-inch infotainment display with a slim driver display and a head-up display. The review praised the sound system, surround cameras, front-seat comfort and roomy rear bench. Cargo capacity is 539 litres with the rear seats in place and 1,978 litres folded, plus a 62-litre front storage compartment. Charging support includes up to 22kW AC and 420kW DC, and the Australian 7X also offers 3.3kW vehicle-to-load power.
The review notes that Zeekr has announced changes for other markets: China is due to receive an 85kWh LFP battery option in the fourth quarter of 2026, while the 100kWh version has been updated there with 900V architecture and charging up to 620kW. A refreshed 7X shown in Paris also brings design and equipment changes for Europe. The Australian test car is assessed on its current specification.
