Zeekr is officially entering the French market, opening orders for its electric vehicles with prices starting from around €38,000. According to Automobile Propre, the launch includes multiple models that target different segments, from compact urban SUVs to larger, more performance-oriented vehicles.
At launch, Zeekr is introducing several models with clearly defined pricing. The Zeekr X starts from €37,990, positioning itself as the entry point into the brand. The Zeekr 001 comes in at a higher price point, reflecting its size and performance focus, while the newer Zeekr 7X and 7 GT further expand the lineup. Here is a quick overview of the starting prices in France:
| Model | Starting Price in France |
|---|---|
| Zeekr X | €37,990 |
| Zeekr 001 | €59,990 |
| Zeekr 7X | €52,990 |
| Zeekr 7 GT | €45,990 |
Zeekr X Brings Premium Feel to the Compact Segment
The Zeekr X is the model that will likely attract the widest audience in France, thanks to its relatively accessible pricing and compact dimensions. It is designed as an urban SUV, but one that leans heavily toward premium features and design rather than just basic practicality. Compared to many small EVs currently available in Europe, it feels more upscale, both in terms of materials and overall presentation.
| Model | WLTP Range (km) | Price (€) |
|---|---|---|
| Core RWD | 330 | 37,990 |
| Long Range RWD | 405 | 42,990 |
| Privilege AWD | 415 | 47,990 |
The Zeekr X also stands out for its focus on safety, earning the title of safest EV in Europe for 2024 from Euro NCAP. For a broader look at where it fits among urban EVs, check out my recent comparison of the best urban SUV EVs in Europe.
Zeekr 001 Targets the Premium Performance Space
Moving up the range, the Zeekr 001 is positioned as a larger and more performance-oriented model. This is not just a step up in size, but also in ambition. It is designed to compete with premium electric fastbacks already established in Europe, offering a mix of long range, strong performance, and a more refined driving experience.
| Model | WLTP Range (km) | Price (€) |
|---|---|---|
| Long Range RWD | 620 | 60,990 |
| Performance AWD | 594 | 66,990 |
| Privilege AWD | 585 | 71,990 |
| Sport Edition AWD | 585 | 73,990 |
One of the key selling points of the Zeekr 001 is its range. It is already featured among the longest-range EVs available in Europe, which immediately puts it on the radar for buyers who prioritize both performance and long-distance usability.
Zeekr 7X Expands the Lineup with a Tech Focus
The Zeekr 7X marks a new direction for the brand, putting a strong focus on technology and next-generation EV architecture. It slots between the Zeekr X and Zeekr 001 in both size and price, making it an appealing middle ground for buyers who want more space than a compact SUV but don’t necessarily need the sporty performance of a fastback.
| Model | WLTP Range (km) | Price (€) |
|---|---|---|
| Core RWD | 480 | 52,990 |
| Long Range RWD | 615 | 55,990 |
| Privilege AWD | 543 | 62,990 |
One of its standout features is the advanced 800V electrical architecture, which supports ultra-fast charging. This puts it in the newer generation of EVs designed to cut charging times and boost overall efficiency, a topic I explored in my article about 800V EVs available in Europe. For many buyers, the Zeekr 7X could turn out to be the most well-rounded option in the lineup.
Zeekr 7 GT Adds a Performance-Oriented Option
The Zeekr 7 GT is expected to join the French lineup at a later stage. This model takes a more performance-focused approach, building on the same platform as the Zeekr 007 but with a design that leans toward a shooting brake style.
| Model | WLTP Range (km) | Price (€) |
|---|---|---|
| Core RWD | 519 | 45,990 |
| Long Range RWD | 655 | 50,990 |
| Privilege AWD | 558 | 57,490 |
The Zeekr 7 GT comes with the second-generation Golden Brick lithium iron phosphate battery, designed for fast and efficient charging. One of its standout features is a 5.5C charging rate, which can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 10.5 minutes. The car also uses an 800‑volt architecture, making it one of the most advanced EVs currently available in Europe.
