2027 Zeekr 7X Arrives in Australia: More Power, 450kW Charging, 11-Minute Top-Up — and No Price Rise

Zeekr has announced the updated 2027 7X electric SUV for Australia, with more powerful motors, faster acceleration, revised styling and additional technology — without increasing prices. Available to order from November 1, with deliveries beginning in December, the refreshed 7X retains its three-variant lineup, priced from $57,900 before on-road costs: the entry RWD at $57,900, the Long Range RWD at $63,900, and the flagship Performance AWD at $72,900. The first 2,000 orders also get a launch package including a home wallbox and two years of servicing.

Every version gains 25kW and 80Nm. Both rear-drive models now make 335kW and 520Nm, and the Performance AWD makes 500kW and 790Nm. WLTP driving ranges are 482km for the RWD with a 75kWh LFP battery, 627km for the Long Range RWD and 544km for the Performance AWD, both with 100kWh NCM batteries. Built on an 800-volt architecture, the updated 7X supports DC charging at up to 450kW, with Zeekr claiming a 10-80% recharge in as little as 11 minutes under suitable conditions — a claim that depends on finding a charger capable of that rate, which remains rare.

The pattern is one Chinese brands keep repeating: more power and more equipment at the same price, rather than a price cut. The 7X is a direct rival to the Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7, and Australia is becoming a key test market for Chinese brands, with Zeekr adding the 7GT wagon and 8X and 9X plug-in hybrids during 2027. Standard additions include a built-in dashcam, rear privacy glass, revised exterior styling, a redesigned centre console and new colours — small items individually, but together they explain why a no-price-rise update can still feel like a new car.
