NINGBO, China, April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zeekr, a global luxury technology brand under Geely Auto Group, officially launched the Zeekr 8X, an all-new high-performance flagship SUV. The new model further enhances the brand’s luxury SUV portfolio by forming a dual-flagship lineup with the Zeekr 9X.
Built on the SEA-S architecture and the Super Electric Power (SEP) Hybrid System, the Zeekr 8X seamlessly combines powerful performance, all-scenario handling, and a premium experience, redefining the standards for high-performance flagship SUVs. Thanks to core technologies such as its full-stack 900V high-voltage architecture, high-performance AWD system, and Haohan AI Digital Chassis, the Zeekr 8X delivers unmatched power across all speed ranges and steady control on all terrains. The three-motor Zeekr 8X Black Edition accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.96 seconds, making it the world’s fastest-accelerating hybrid SUV.
As a flagship five-seater, the Zeekr 8X shatters the conventional notion that “performance and comfort are mutually exclusive” with MPV-like spaciousness, one-touch comfort of the Eames Lounge Chair, and the world’s only Naim audio system, offering a new luxury choice that balances driving performance with comfort.
As the first model to feature a cabin-and-driving-integrated super intelligence system, the Zeekr 8X is setting a new intelligence benchmark for the new energy era. The voice assistant has evolved to Super Eva based on WAM (World Action Model), becoming a vehicle-wide super-intelligent control center natively integrated with underlying systems such as G-ASD 4.0 driver-assistance system, chassis, and powertrain.
The variants of Zeekr 8X are listed between RMB 356,800 and 426,800, and the Black Edition is priced at RMB 500,800.
