Zeekr 7X review: The best premium electric SUV you can’t buy (yet)

The Zeekr 7X handily beats rival Tesla when it comes to fast charging and a premium interior - (Zeekr)

If the Zeekr 7X were on sale in the UK right now, it would lay claim to being one of the best premium, mid-size, all-electric SUVs you can buy – assuming the price is right. Sadly, we’re going to have to wait until 2026 before we can buy one, by which time this fast-moving market may well have moved on.

Regardless, the Zeekr 7X offers a feeling of quality that doesn’t exist in the Tesla Model Y and is missing from many other rivals. It does what it needs to do well, if not spectacularly. The look is smart but generic, while the drive needs a bit more work for UK roads. We expect the 7X will get a few tweaks before next year to give it a better balance between feeling slightly floaty over dips, crests and through corners, while having a firm-ish ride at lower speeds.
