Zeekr 8X: A Blend of Power and Style with Cutting-Edge Features

The Ministry of Industry in China has released technical specifications for the new Zeekr 8X crossover. Following the flagship model Zeekr 9X, this second hybrid from the brand will feature a hybrid powertrain based on a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a power output of 279 horsepower. There will be two traction battery options to choose from, with capacities of 55.1 kWh and 70 kWh. Depending on the configuration, the electric-only driving range is anticipated to be 256, 257, or 328 km (likely measured using the WLTC methodology). It is expected that the crossover will support ultra-fast charging capabilities.

The Zeekr 8X will be designed in the style of the Zeekr 9X, featuring bold lines, abundant chrome, and a recognizable front section with a two-section air intake. The Ministry also unveiled a special edition styled as the Black Warrior: the grille, window moldings, wheels, mirrors, and badges on this car will be completely black.

Official images reveal that the crossover is equipped with a roof-mounted lidar, indicating the presence of advanced driver assistance systems. The known dimensions of the Zeekr 8X are 5100 mm in length, with a wheelbase of 3069 mm, making it slightly more compact than the 9X model. The top version of the Zeekr 8X is expected to feature a three-motor system with an output of 1000 horsepower or more. Additionally, a towing device has been announced: the crossover is capable of towing a trailer weighing up to 2000 kg. The official debut of Zeekr 8X is anticipated soon.
