Chinese automaker Zeekr has positioned itself as a premium brand, but its new Tesla Model Y rival is actually cheaper than that top-selling mid-size electric SUV.
The Zeekr 7X range opens at $57,900 before on-road costs, or $1000 under the Model Y.
Customer deliveries of the 7X will begin in October 2025.

The first 1000 7X buyers in Australia get a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and seven years of roadside assistance – both have increased from five years – plus a 7kW home charger and both Type 2 and mini portable (10-amp) charging cables.
Zeekr also won’t charge extra for optional interior or exterior colours for these initial buyers.
In addition to sliding under the Model Y, the 7X also undercuts rivals like the Volkswagen ID.4, Cupra Tavascan, Toyota bZ4X, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Skoda Enyaq and Subaru Solterra.
It’s undercut, however, by the Deepal S07, Nissan Ariya, Xpeng G6 and BYD Sealion 7.
