On January 21, Zeekr officially continued to release exterior official images of the Zeekr 8X. The new car is built on the Haohan Super Hybrid architecture, positioned as a flagship SUV, planned to go on sale in the first quarter of this year, with an expected price range of 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
In terms of exterior, the new car's front face adopts an integrated vertical waterfall grille, with chrome decorative elements extending to the trapezoidal air intake in the front bumper, showing a majestic and imposing presence. The guide channels on both sides of the grille extend toward the front hood. This design not only reduces wind resistance but also lowers the visual center of gravity, making it look more compact. The new car's doors adopt a zero-step mirror-surface design, which balances aesthetics while reducing wind resistance. The rear of the new car is equipped with a coastline through-type taillight, with the interior of the taillight crafted from 54,894 diamond-shaped surfaces. The body's length, width, and height are 5100*1998*1780mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3069mm.
In terms of power, the Zeekr 8X will adopt the same super hybrid powertrain as the 9X, with pure electric range under CLTC conditions expected to exceed 400km, and a designed top speed of 220km/h.
Dada commentary: The exterior of the Zeekr 8X continues the design philosophy of the Zeekr 9X, with body dimensions slightly smaller than the Zeekr 9X. It will form a high-low pairing with the Zeekr 9X to jointly compete in the hybrid SUV market. The Zeekr 8X is expected to adopt the ZEEKR OS intelligent cockpit, paired with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 automotive-grade chip, featuring millisecond-level interaction response. The assisted driving function is the Qianli Haohan H7 solution, with functions such as urban navigation assist and highway navigation assist. High-end configurations such as an intelligent heating and cooling box and premium audio will also be equipped. The starting price of the Zeekr 8X is expected to be around 400,000 yuan. Competitors include the Li Auto L8, AITO M8, NIO ES9, and others. By comparison, the Zeekr 8X has stronger power performance, lower high-speed energy consumption thanks to its plug-in hybrid architecture, and a more advanced electrical and electronic architecture. It is expected to become a "dark horse" in this field with its late-mover advantages.
