Zeekr 7X 2026 review Australia: RWD | Why this EV is one of the best family SUVs | Long-term test

Justin Hilliard delivers his long-term review of the Zeekr 7X RWD mid-size SUV to see how it handles the daily needs of Australian families. This entry-level variant features a single rear motor producing 310kW and 440Nm, powered by a 75kWh LFP battery that provides a 480km WLTP driving range. The video explores the three-tier local range, including the Long Range RWD and flagship Performance AWD, to determine where the best value lies. The evaluation covers the distinctive exterior design and a tech-heavy interior equipped with a 16-inch touchscreen and 13-inch digital instrument cluster. Practicality is a major focus, with Justin testing the 539L boot, 62L front trunk and rear doors that open to 90 degrees for easier child seat access. He also shares driving impressions on local roads to assess how the 800V architecture and 450kW DC fast charging capability perform in real-world conditions. This review weighs the Zeekr 7X against its primary competitors, the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5 and BYD Sealion 7. By examining the standard safety suite, ownership costs and cabin refinement, Justin provides a clear picture for buyers navigating the crowded electric SUV market. #Zeekr #7X #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:32 Like 1 – High value 01:30 Dislike 1 – Annoying key fob 02:15 Like 2 – Luxurious interior 03:06 Dislike 2 – Obstructed touchscreen 03:45 Dislike 3 – Hard air-vent adjustment 04:14 Like 3 – Sensible storage 06:12 Like 4 – Balanced ride and handling 07:59 Dislike 4 – Weak regenerative braking 08:35 Like 5 – Real-world driving range 09:17 Like 6 – Fast charging 09:49 Dislike 5 – Short warranty 10:16 Verdict -- Read Justin's full review: https://bit.ly/49O99Ft Check out our Zeekr 7X hub: https://bit.ly/4nCrpr9 Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3QVs1X1 Visit our EVGuide: https://bit.ly/3UHO9GT -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel:    / carsguide   Like our Facebook page:   / carsguide.australia   Follow our TikTok profile:   / carsguide.com.au   Follow our Instagram profile:   / carsguideaus   Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page:   / carsguide-com-au
