Get ready for a thrilling update, Australia! The 2026 Zeekr X is about to make its presence felt with an exciting power boost. While its bigger sibling, the 7X, might be stealing the spotlight, this little powerhouse is not one to be overlooked.
The Zeekr X has been spotted in Australian certification documents, offering a choice of two impressive powertrains: a 250kW single-motor rear-wheel drive and a 365kW dual-motor all-wheel drive. That's a substantial 50kW increase in power, thanks to a more robust motor.
And here's where it gets even more intriguing: the torque figures, though not listed in the documents, reveal a significant boost. The rear-drive variant boasts a mighty 373Nm, while the all-wheel drive pushes it to an impressive 573Nm. That's an extra 30Nm of torque for both, adding even more punch to an already impressive SUV.
But how does this translate to performance? Well, the X RWD maintains its claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 5.6 seconds, while the AWD variant has shaved off a few precious milliseconds, now clocking in at an impressive 3.69 seconds.
We're eagerly awaiting confirmation from Zeekr Australia on the exact arrival date of this updated model. While these documents don't reveal any other major changes, we can look to the Chinese market for a sneak peek at what's to come.
The updated Zeekr X made its debut in November 2025, sporting a sleek Seattle Green exterior and offering new interior color options: black, black and white, and black and orange. Its 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system has been upgraded to the latest Zeekr operating system (5.5).
Despite its late 2025 launch, the larger 7X managed to outsell the X by a significant margin last year (1206 units to 665 units). Similarly, the Volvo EX30, a cousin to the Zeekr X, also outperformed it, racking up 1281 sales.
The Zeekr X and the 009 electric people mover were the brand's inaugural models in Australia. As part of the Geely family, Zeekr joins an impressive lineup of brands, including Volvo, Polestar, and Smart.
So, Australia, are you ready to embrace this powerful update? The Zeekr X is set to make a bold statement, and we can't wait to see its impact on our roads.
And this is the part most people miss: the Zeekr X's performance and features make it a serious contender in the electric SUV market. With its impressive power and torque, it's a force to be reckoned with.
