The 2026 Zeekr 8X is a mid-to-large high-performance plug-in hybrid SUV built on Geely’s SEA-S super hybrid architecture with a full-stack 900V system. It combines a 2.0T hybrid engine (205kW / 279PS) with dual- or triple-motor powertrains delivering up to 1,030kW (1,381hp), achieving 0–100km/h in 2.96 seconds — the fastest accelerating hybrid SUV globally. It delivers up to 410km CLTC pure electric range and 1,416km combined range, with 6C ultra-fast charging (20–80% in 9 minutes). The model is confirmed for LHD and RHD markets, with deliveries expected in Australia by late 2026 or early 2027.
Powertrain (Dual-Motor Max/Ultra/Ultra+): 2.0T (205kW / 410N·m) + dual motors, combined 660kW (897PS) / 935N·m, 0–100km/h in 3.7s
Powertrain (Triple-Motor Yaoying): 2.0T + triple motors, combined 1,030kW (1,381hp) / 1,810N·m, 0–100km/h in 2.96s
Battery & Range: 55.1kWh / 70kWh CATL ternary lithium; 256km / 328km WLTC EV range; 1,416km CLTC combined
Charging: 900V platform, 6C ultra-fast charge (20–80% in 9 minutes); 500kW DC peak
Dimensions: 5,100 × 1,998 × 1,780mm (WB: 3,069mm), 5/6-seat, 1,133L boot / 2,200L max
Segment-Record Performance: The Yaoying triple-motor variant delivers 1,030kW / 1,810N·m, achieving 0–100km/h in 2.96 seconds — the fastest production hybrid SUV globally, outperforming the BMW X5M and Mercedes-AMG GLE. Dual-motor variants still deliver a formidable 660kW / 3.7s. A record-setting run up Mount Everest’s 108-bend road was completed in 13 minutes 22 seconds.
900V Architecture + 6C Ultra-Fast Charging: One of the first PHEVs globally with a 900V electrical system, enabling 20–80% charge in 9 minutes — near-ICE refueling speed. The 70kWh battery provides 328km WLTC pure electric range, covering a full week of urban fleet duty.
Full-Spec Safety as Standard: Standard across all trims: ISOFIX child seat anchors, front/rear side airbags, front/rear curtain airbags, front centre airbag, active braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, DOW door opening warning, and air suspension with anti-roll system — no version-based safety content segmentation.
Critical: The Zeekr 8X has NO independent Euro NCAP, ANCAP, C-NCAP, or NHTSA ratings as of October 2026. The vehicle has not participated in any third-party crash testing. However, Zeekr has conducted in-house extreme validation: single-vehicle 7-vehicle chain collision simulation, industry’s most stringent moose test (fishhook test), and side pole rollover testing with 22 collision points (vs. C-NCAP’s single left-front point). Body structure uses a one-piece hot-formed double-door-ring design with dual 2,000MPa hot-formed steel in A/B pillars, 81.95% high-strength steel and aluminum content, and torsional rigidity exceeding 40,000 N·m/deg. The battery pack passed simultaneous dual-tire puncture at 120km/h without loss of control. Fleet buyers targeting regulated markets must verify compliance independently — no official star rating exists.
LHD & RHD confirmed. LHD from China for Middle East (Middle East first), Central Asia (Q3 2026), Europe (Q4 2026). RHD production for UK/Europe is about to begin, with Australia confirmed for late 2026/early 2027 (estimated pricing AUD 85,000–130,000) and New Zealand confirmed for early 2027. Right-hand drive production has not yet started as of October 2026.
Overseas naming: Zeekr 8X (global), Zeekr 8X Yaoying (flagship variant).
