EXTERIOR
The 2026 Zeekr X has a distinctive and minimalistic design sitting in between a conventional SUV and a futuristic electric vehicle. Sleek lines and sculpted surfaces have largely been emphasized for improved aerodynamics.
Up front sits a dual layer LED headlights and daytime running lights, with indicators integrated into the lighting design for an elegant look. There is no grille because there’s no engine to cool down, and the roofline gently slopes towards the rear for a sporty appearance. Flush door handles and 19-inch alloy wheels contribute to its sophisticated aura. The rear is equally impressive. You have a full-width LED light bar and a subtle roof spoiler.
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2026 Zeekr X interior is where all the magic happens. If you have been impressed by the exterior, open the door and your happiness is doubled immediately thanks to the plush and well-appointed cabin.
At the center of the dashboard sits a 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system; the driver has access to an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster. The headliner is furnished in expensive vegan leather, and a panoramic glass roof with thermal insulation creates a tranquil atmosphere in the cabin.
You have access to a 13-speaker surround sound system that delivers immersive audio quality and a center console integrated with a cooler box to keep your drinks fresh. The seats are upholstered in fine leather and feature heating and ventilation functions.
