(SeaPRwire) – NINGBO, China, April 17, 2026 — Zeekr, the global luxury technology brand owned by Geely Auto Group, has officially introduced the Zeekr 8X, a new high-performance flagship SUV. This model strengthens the brand’s luxury SUV offerings by creating a dual-flagship strategy alongside the Zeekr 9X.
Utilizing the SEA-S architecture and the Super Electric Power (SEP) Hybrid System, the Zeekr 8X masterfully integrates robust performance, versatile handling for any situation, and a premium feel, establishing new benchmarks for high-performance flagship SUVs. Core technologies, including a full-stack 900V high-voltage architecture, a high-performance AWD system, and the Haohan AI Digital Chassis, enable the Zeekr 8X to provide exceptional power at any speed and confident control on all types of terrain. The three-motor Zeekr 8X Black Edition can reach 100 km/h from a standstill in a mere 2.96 seconds, earning it the title of the world’s fastest-accelerating hybrid SUV.
As a flagship five-seater, the Zeekr 8X challenges the traditional idea that performance and comfort cannot coexist. It offers MPV-level interior space, the one-touch comfort of an Eames Lounge Chair, and the exclusive Naim audio system, presenting a new luxury option that harmonizes driving excitement with passenger comfort.
Being the first model equipped with an integrated cabin-and-driving super intelligence system, the Zeekr 8X is creating a new standard for intelligence in the new energy era. The voice assistant has been upgraded to Super Eva, which operates on the WAM (World Action Model) and functions as a vehicle-wide intelligent control hub, deeply integrated with core systems like the G-ASD 4.0 driver-assistance system, the chassis, and the powertrain.
The Zeekr 8X is available in variants priced from RMB 356,800 to RMB 426,800, with the Black Edition costing RMB 500,800.
