Zeekr X 2023 Review: Has Geely Finally Outdone Tesla?
0:00 - Intro
This is the Zeekr X, a cutting-edge electric compact crossover SUV, marking a significant stride in the EV market.
0:50 - Exterior Design
First, let’s start with the exterior. Positioned as a premium offering from Chinese automaker Zeekr, the X is built on Geely's Sustainable Experience Architecture platform. The front of the Zeekr X features a dynamic design, with what appears to be a seamless blend of bodywork and lighting. The LED headlight design is a standout, complemented by a unique grille that upholds Zeekr’s unique brand identity.
On the sides, the Zeekr X continues to impress with a sleek profile accentuated by minimal overhangs and a robust wheelbase. The presence of black cladding adds a rugged appeal, while the dynamic window line and unique alloy wheel designs give it a futuristic yet sporty look. The rear of the X continues the playful aesthetic. It shares a family resemblance with the rest of the Zeekr line-up, maintaining an emphasis on clean lines and sleek shapes.
The X is available in 6 body colors: Berlin Metallic Gray, Hangzhou Green, California Sunglow Pink, Athens Cloud White, Paris Cream Beige, and Sydney Harbour Blue. In terms of unique exterior features, the Zeekr X is equipped with numerous high-definition cameras and radar systems which are subtly integrated into the design.
2:06 - Interior Design
Now, let’s talk about the interior. The Zeekr X boasts a sleek and modern interior that complements its bold exterior. One of the most striking aspects is its minimalistic design, which employs a clean, uncluttered aesthetic that is not only visually appealing but also enhances the overall driving experience. It is available in three shades for the four-seat version: Blue-White; Blue-Green; Black-Gray. The five-seat version also has a beautiful-looking violet color.
The interior features a small instrument panel and an AR-HUD in front of the steering wheel, with a 14.6-inch floating screen shared with other Zeekr models placed in the center of the interior that can move towards the passenger side. The interior could also be had with a mini-fridge. The seating arrangement in the Zeekr X is designed with comfort and luxury in mind. The seats are supportive and adjustable.
As for the climate control system, the Zeekr X is expected to have multi-zone automatic climate control.
When it comes to the infotainment system, the Zeekr X doesn't skimp on features. In addition to the aforementioned large screen, the system offers wireless smartphone connectivity and a 5G internet hotspot. Additionally, it's worth noting that the Zeekr X is expected to offer a host of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems features, or ADAS, which add to the overall comfort and safety of the driving experience.
3:35 - Storage
Now, let’s talk about the trunk. The trunk itself is spacious, especially considering the dimensions of the car, with a volume that varies from 12.8 cubic feet or 362 liters with all seats in default position to 41.7 cubic ft or 1,182 liters with the rear seats folded.

he fact that it has an NCM battery is a big drawback for me, and I would be much more attracted if it had an LFP, LMFP or sodium battery of the same capacity. I hope that the sale of vehicles is like that of Tesla, and not through the dealer's network in Europe, and thus to be better positioned in terms of price, considering that, as a Chinese brand, it has to break through on the European market.

I think the car looks great although the Chinese trim levels weren't just ostentatious, they were ridiculous. A mini fridge by the driver was one feature. They'll probably dial it back for US and Europe. Same platform as Volvo EX30 but different infotainment software.

[@ambessashield9360]

Bigger than Volvo and better spec

[@bafattvahetere]

As long as they can't deliver cars faster, the don't outdo Tesla.

I need to write a comment, because we cannot put many down thumbs quotes... It is not nice, as I am one of the rare to prefer the Xpeng X6 design, which should have been adapted to this very very researched design... But design is a point of view, and there needs to be offers to all, even for those who do not have a good desires... They need to be estonished and surprisingly surprised of what engineers, designers and good drivers did correctly for them to donate any risk. I repeat, the car buyer do not buy a color nor a vehicle size, he buys a service to benefit of what matches his today needs... Normally he will go back home with this new car, but he will pay only wjat he really needs, so during the evening the car should be useful for others (at least admired from the outside, by neighbors who will pay 0.23 cents for receiving informations about this nice car (technical characteristics conveniently useful for them, different colors, availability near here, with no condition). A ce cab be bought, it cost around 100'000€, a human life has a value of 500 millions Euros, so 5000 times more than a standard car... The user pays what he benefit from, only this, and should be able to count on 17 Public Services Companies (PSC) to warranty the respect of all the rights of all alive beings. The money do not miss,it is just badly used, partially immobilized... A car is a tool to move conveniently, now we can pay a taxi, with a slave (driver) to carry the luggages, warranty security, assume risks, drive correctly... All this is wasteful and stupid... EJFJ Autonomous Driving, based on entraved EJFJ Positive Contextualisation, depending on the universal database of all alive beings datas, named MediSecure International PSC, to make use of what is nice and efficient and spare anything unefficient. Unefficient things can be improved... Taxi drivers should be paid by anyone who benefit of anything they did Well, to arrange 6 suitcases in a small trunk, or drive conveniently, softly, to spare energy wastes soaring any type of damages... The money is for all, and cannot be misused... Bill !T (Bill !nternational Technologies PSC should be there to allow this, but unfortunately Elon Musk robbed and parodied PayPal, letting thouthends of nefast and parodies apply just to "make", no to divert money, to rob what was blocked by SFM:id2004, to spare EJFJ Autonomous Driving. Tesla abandonned at level 2.4 or so... Others, like Xpeng achieve level 3.8 or 3.9... Level 4 will be reached in the next weeks, this year... But without accurate identification of objects, as proposed by Bill !T but blocked by mafias and accomplices (ex-States who dangerously accepted to build roads which are not contextually identified got their abilities, width, weight , min and max speed limits in normal conditions for a standard BMW 760Li, to allow the vehicle detecting if the road is practiceable each 10 up to 100 meters if the road is linear, or less if curvy... These hypo-magnetic microchips, costing 0.028 € per unit, should allow to detectthe exact direction of the next hypo-magnetic microchip. This allow to follow the road, and detect if there were a change (earthquake, landslide, or flooding, to allow any vehicle analyzing globally the current situation. If the direction indicated toward the next microchip, readable at a distance of 200 meters allows the vehicle to plan the next steps... Each piece of vehicle or any object build or places by the humanity (even clothes and accessories) need to be identified by category, producer (brand, factory, production date, model, ...) to spare any risk and allow efficient decisions to be well and prevently spoiled in all similar cases. For this, EJFJ Collaborative Cleverness need to be applied, and not the fake SFM:id2004 artificial IA which has nothing real, especially not to protect objects or alive beings... For more informations, request them at [e-mail] who have terrible responsabilities since 2016 for risks managements without any prevention... Only the best is legal, noone should have to request it, especially not each parent! EJFJ Automaticity Principle requests and needs EJFJ Positives Contextualisation and introduced it since 1994 with our fake partners who were more or less hold by the SFM:id2004...

Zeekr X is so so Far ahead of Tesla its unfair to compare between them.
Zeekr EV have to compare to Merc or BMW's EV.

[@michelmasse6225]

By the way, this EV has no engine 😅 it has 1 or 2 electric motors. Just saying…

[@vegas3121]

Lots of information but one the most important is missing, tesla cars allow one pedal driving mode , zeekr x ????

[@evkx]

Hope at least it has coasting and blended brakes. One pedal driving not important.

[@vegas3121]

@@evkx 😂😂😂😂 and u consider yourself ev’s expert? 😱

[@EmmanuelJotterand]

Yes, when parked, it has... 😊 I do not know up to which speed it works!

[@evkx]

@@vegas3121 yes. If you know the technology you would know why coasting/blended brakes are much better than one pedal driving

[@timogronroos4642]

Electric cars have no engines
