Zeekr started European deliveries of its 7X SUV just a few days ago, and its Australian launch is planned for later this year. However, pricing details for the model in the island were leaked online on Thursday.
Official documents from dealerships posted on a Facebook group showed that the fully electric model, which is set to rival Tesla’s Model Y and BYD’s Sealion 7, will be available in three versions.
Prices will start between AU$65,000 and AU$70,000 ($41,900-$45,000) for the entry-level variant, the 7X Rear-Wheel Drive.
Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range is planned to cost about AU$75,000 ($48,200) and the All-Wheel Drive is expected to be priced around AU$80,000 ($51,400).
Local media outlet Drive has initially reported on the leak.
Model Y prices in Australia start at AU$58,900 ($37,800) while the Sealion 7 begins at AU$54,990 ($35,300).
Zeekr currently sells the Zeekr X and the Zeekr 009 in the island. The urban SUV is priced from AU$49,900 ($32,100) after a price cut in April, months after the first units arrived in the country. The luxury multi-purpose van (MPV) is priced from AU$135,900 ($87,300).
The brand is present in Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands, while preparing to enter Germany via local dealership networks, EV learned in late April.
In the Netherlands, the Zeekr 7X starts at €52,990 — equivalent to $60,100.
China-made electric vehicles imported into European Union countries are subject to tariffs — in addition to the 10% minimum baseline. The European Commission began imposing additional duties last October.
China and Europe restarted discussions in early April amid the newly imposed U.S. tariffs by Donald Trump — marking the first signs of renewed dialogue since talks stalled late last year.
The 7X SUV was launched in China last September and exceeded 30,000 units delivered in just 75 days. It is currently priced from 229,900 yuan ($31,900).

Upcoming Models
After only producing fully electric vehicles, the company unveiled its plug-in hybrid technology at the Shanghai Auto Show last month. Zeekr plans to launch two hybrid models later this year — one in the third quarter and another in the fourth.
As the automaker reached its fourth anniversary, it launched the Zeekr 7GT (Grand Turing) in China — a station wagon model with prices starting at 202,900 yuan ($27,600).
The brand aims to deliver 320,000 vehicles gloablly in 2025, a 40% increase from the previous year, part of the broader Zeekr group goal — 0f 710,000 units, including Lynk&Co’s sales.
