Driving the Zeekr X SUV – a small premium electrified SUV, a relatively
new Chinese brand released last October. Part of the Geely group that also
owns Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus. Zeekr a rather unusual Chinese brand
with its global design operations based in Gothenburg Sweden. As such
the European design influence on the Zeekr X is immediately apparent –
this is a compact SUV with a premium feel in fit and finishes - the
integration of the lights into the front of car individual and distinctive – Two
models RWD and AWD, I drove the latter at $64,900 plus on-road costs.
Step inside and you’re met with exceptional quality and an ambience that’s
warm, inviting and different. Seat comfort immediately noticeable, power
adjustment on both front seats – event the synthetic leather trim looks
quality and authentic. The AWD comes with dual electric motors fed by a
66kWh battery producing a lightning quick 0 to 100km in just 3.8 seconds
Highly equipped with wireless phone charging, power heated and cooled
front seats and a panoramic glass roof. Worst feature, a large central
touchscreen, and no operational buttons for aircon or radio. But certainly,
the most impressive Chinese electric SUV I’ve driven to date. Drive detail
next. I’m David Berthon
