When CarsGuide — one of Australia's most respected automotive publications — awards its Car of the Year to a brand most Australians have never heard of, it gets attention. And rightfully so. The Zeekr 7X's 2026 win is a definitive statement: this is not just a good Chinese EV, it's one of the best cars available in Australia right now, full stop.
Zeekr is Geely's premium electric vehicle brand, positioned above the mainstream Geely lineup and targeting the upper end of the EV market. It sits in the same corporate family as Volvo Cars, Polestar, and Lotus, and it shows — the engineering, design quality, and technology on display in the Zeekr 7X is genuinely impressive by global standards, not just by the standards of value-priced imports.
The Zeekr 7X is built on Geely's SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) — the same pure-electric platform underpinning Polestar's future EVs. It features 800V charging architecture capable of adding hundreds of kilometres of range in minutes, dual-motor AWD as standard, a beautifully crafted interior with premium materials, and performance figures that make European rivals with similar specs look overpriced by comparison.
For Australian buyers, Zeekr represents a compelling opportunity.
