Zeekr 7X 2027 Model Adds 85-kWh Golden Battery

Zeekr said Thursday that the 2027 model-year Zeekr 7X SUV will go on sale in the fourth quarter. The premium brand of Geely Auto plans to keep the current model's exterior styling while introducing additional exterior and interior color choices. Detailed specifications and pricing for the updated SUV have not yet been announced. The most significant change confirmed so far is the introduction of an 85-kWh Golden Battery version, which will sit between the existing 75-kWh and 103-kWh battery options. The addition is intended to broaden customer choice across driving range and price levels.

2027 Zeekr 7X Adds New Battery Option

The 85-kWh Golden Battery is the central update announced for the 2027 model-year Zeekr 7X. The new battery capacity fills the gap between the current 75-kWh and 103-kWh configurations, giving buyers another option within the SUV lineup. Zeekr has not yet disclosed the CLTC range or charging speed for the 85-kWh version. The company also has not confirmed whether the new configuration will use an 800-volt or 900-volt high-voltage platform. As a result, the available information does not yet establish how the new version will compare with the existing variants in performance, charging time, or overall efficiency.

Current Zeekr 7X Lineup and Complimentary Options

Until the 2027 model arrives, Zeekr will continue offering three complimentary options with the current 7X in China, with a combined stated value of 18,999 yuan ($2,800). The package includes a power-adjustable rear-seat sofa valued at 5,000 yuan, a smart refrigerator with heating and cooling valued at 2,999 yuan, and 20-inch multi-spoke wheels valued at 11,000 yuan. The current Zeekr 7X is offered in three variants priced from 229,800 yuan to 269,800 yuan. These existing configurations provide the reference point for understanding where the new 85-kWh battery option could fit when the 2027 model-year lineup reaches the market.

Existing Battery, Range and Charging Specifications

The entry-level current 7X uses a 75-kWh Golden Battery and an 800-volt platform, delivering a CLTC range of 620 kilometers. It can charge from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes. The other two versions use 103-kWh Qilin Battery packs supplied by CATL and operate on a 900-volt platform. Their respective CLTC ranges are 802 kilometers and 715 kilometers, while both can charge from 10% to 80% in 10 minutes. The most powerful dual-motor version can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 2.98 seconds, highlighting the performance range already available within the current 7X lineup.

Another Major Update About One Year Later

The Zeekr 7X was initially launched in September 2024, followed by the current version in October 2025. That update brought improvements to charging, the powertrain and driver-assistance features. The planned 2027 model therefore represents another lineup adjustment approximately one year after the previous major update. The relatively short interval between updates shows that Zeekr is continuing to refine one of its important electric SUV offerings rather than waiting for a longer conventional product cycle. The company has so far limited the confirmed 2027 changes to styling color choices and the additional battery configuration.

Zeekr 7X Sales Performance Through July 2026

The 7X remains an important sales driver for Zeekr. Deliveries totaled 62,865 units during the first seven months of this year, representing 29.35% of Zeekr's deliveries over the same period. The monthly delivery figures show that the model reached 10,614 units in January 2026, followed by 9,792 in February and 9,220 in March. Deliveries then declined through June before increasing to 10,253 units in July. The July result was the strongest monthly figure for the model in 2026 after January, indicating that demand remained substantial despite month-to-month fluctuations during the first seven months.

Zeekr 7X Monthly Deliveries, 2024-2026

The monthly delivery record shows how the Zeekr 7X has developed since its initial market launch. Deliveries in 2024 were recorded from August onward, while the model posted monthly volumes throughout 2025 and the first seven months of 2026. The figures provide context for the model's contribution to Zeekr's overall deliveries and illustrate the changes in monthly demand across the three calendar years. The 2026 figures through July total 62,865 units, consistent with the reported share of the brand's deliveries during the period.

Global Orders Surpass 200,000 Units

Zeekr said on August 24 that global orders for the 7X had surpassed 200,000 units. The electric SUV is now available in more than 50 countries and regions, extending the model beyond its domestic market in China. The global order milestone adds context to the model's role within Zeekr's portfolio and helps explain why the company is continuing to adjust the lineup. With the 2027 model scheduled for the fourth quarter, the additional battery configuration could give Zeekr another way to address differences in customer requirements for range, charging capability and purchase price while maintaining the core design of the existing vehicle.
