2026 Zeekr 007 GT

While some manufacturers don’t see a future for station wagons, Chinese company Zeekr thinks otherwise, and the proof is the Zeekr 7 GT. It’s a new car that will be sold under this name in the European market, while in China it will be called the Zeekr 007 GT.

The car will have a similar design to the 007 model, but also some changes. It features an LED light strip up front with integrated lights and daytime running lights, vertical air curtains on the sides of the bumper, a larger lower grille with vents that can be opened and closed, new side skirts and C-pillars. The roof line towards the back creates a Shooting Brake shape, and above the rear window are two aerodynamic fins and a small spoiler.

The Chinese company is still keeping a lot of things under wraps, and many believe that like the Zeekr 007 and Zeekr 7 GT, it will be based on the Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA) platform, which allows front- and all-wheel drive. It is also believed that the engine power will range between 422 and 646 hp, which is the case with the sedan. It will have Geely’s Golden battery that supports charging speeds of up to 500 kW and just 15 minutes of charging is enough to cover 500 kilometers. This is partly possible thanks to the 800-volt architecture.

The car will debut in Q2 2025, and more information about this car should be known soon.

Zeekr 7X is coming to Europe

After being launched in China this summer, the Zeekr 7X will soon be available to European customers. It is a rival to the Tesla Model Y and the most affordable Chinese SUV, and in Europe it will be offered in the Dutch market.

Zeekr is part of Geely Automobile Holdings, and currently offers several of its cars on the European market such as Zeekr 001, Zeekr 001 FR and Zeekr 007. The Zeekr 7X has a slightly different style from other cars within the group, with a sophisticated interior, thanks to the subdued ambient lighting, but also the amount of natural light that comes through the huge panoramic roof. Customers can optionally get active air suspension with continuous damping control, heated and air-conditioned front seats with massage function, which are included in the Comfort package and are only available in the top version. It offers plenty of space for passengers as well as luggage (539 liters + 66 liters in the front).

When it comes to the powertrain, the base Zeekr 7X is powered by a single electric motor with 412 hp (307 kW). It is equipped with a 75 kWh battery that provides a range of 480 kilometers and can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 13 minutes. Customers can also choose a Long Range version with a single motor and a 100 kWh battery that provides a range of a respectable 615 kilometers and can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 16 minutes.

The most powerful Performance version is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 639 hp (476 kW). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, and is equipped with a 100 kWh battery that provides a range of 543 kilometers and can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 16 minutes.

Speaking of price, the Zeekr 7X costs between 52,990 and 62,990 euros on the Dutch market.

Zeekr has the fastest charging battery

“Tesla’s charging technology is no longer industry leading, it hasn’t been for some time,” said Mark Rainford, an analyst of the Chinese auto industry. According to new information, Zeekr has the battery with the fastest charging time to 80%, less than 11 seconds.

“These claims are believable, and even if it’s not the fastest charging battery, being one for the fastest is still a big deal for this Chinese manufacturer. The competition in China is terrifying, and while brands like BYD prioritize sales, brands like which is Zeekr, Li Auto and Nio focus on charging. Zeekr’s parent company Geely is a very vertically integrated business. They have the resources to do this,” Rainford said.

The new battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in just 10 minutes and 30 seconds using an ultra-fast charger, and the first car to use this battery is the new Zeekr 007. For comparison, Tesla says that a 15-minute charge allows the Model 3 range of 282 kilometers, which is a little less than half of the car’s full range.
