Get ready for a game-changer in the European EV market! The Zeekr 7GT is set to make a splash this summer, and it's more than just a quick charger. This sleek wagon is packed with features that will leave you questioning your loyalty to crossovers.
Zeekr, Geely's luxury brand, is aiming to charm European EV enthusiasts with the 7GT. It boasts powered automatic doors, air suspension, and a massive head-up display, not to mention its impressive performance. But here's where it gets controversial: the price tag is surprisingly reasonable for all it offers.
I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Zeekr 7GT in Europe, and it's finally happening this July. When I first covered its debut, I couldn't help but notice how it sets a new standard for EVs in our region. With a whopping 480-kilowatt charging capacity and the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in just 13 minutes, it's a true powerhouse.
But the 7GT is more than just numbers on a spec sheet. Electrifying's review of the 7GT at its Belgian launch revealed some unique features that set it apart. The body style alone is a standout, as electric wagons are still a rare sight in Europe, especially with premium badges. Zeekr is targeting a specific audience - those who typically opt for BMWs or Mercedes-Benz.
One of the most intriguing features is the powered automatic doors on all four sides. I've experienced this on the Zeekr 7X crossover and was impressed by its functionality. The doors not only add a touch of luxury but also have practical benefits, as Nicky Shields points out in the video. Dropping kids off at school becomes a breeze, and you don't have to get out of the driver's seat to open doors for them.
These automatic doors are exclusive to the top-of-the-line Privilege model, priced at €58,490 (delivery fee included). But it's not just about the doors; the Privilege model offers a host of luxury features. Air suspension with adjustable ride height is a unique offering in the midsize segment, whether electric or not. It also boasts a 35-inch augmented reality head-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, a premium audio system, and a panoramic glass roof that stretches the length of the car.
Performance-wise, the 7GT doesn't disappoint. Its dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration delivers a thrilling 636 horsepower, propelling it from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds. The manufacturer promises a well-balanced driving experience, with precise steering and a controlled chassis, making it an exhilarating electric wagon at any price point.
Zeekr has also released an in-depth video showcasing the 7GT's key features, with insights from the creators themselves. It's a must-watch for anyone considering this innovative EV.
