- Zeekr wants to lure European electric car buyers away from crossovers with a feature-packed wagon coming this summer.
- The 7GT features automatic power doors, air suspension, a huge head-up display, and great performance to keep you in your seat.
- Considering that it comes from Geely’s most luxurious brand and everything it can do, the asking price seems more than reasonable.
The most eagerly awaited electric car of 2026 is the Zeekr 7GT, which will debut here in Europe in July. I said when I covered his debut It raises the bar for all the electric vehicles available hereNoting that it has the highest charging power on the continent, with a capacity of 480 kilowatts, it can be charged by 10-80% within 13 minutes.
However, this car is not defined only by its specifications electrification Found it after spending some time researching the 7GT at its launch in Belgium. The first thing that makes the 7GT special is the shape of its body. There are a few electric cars available in Europe, but they are still very rare and cars with premium badges are expensive.
Zeekr is the most upscale brand of the Geely group, so it targets buyers who typically purchase BNW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The 7GT has one feature you won’t find in any European offering in the midsize segment: all four doors are powered and open automatically. presence I tried them on the 7X crossover Having previously tried it on a BMW i7, which was far from perfect, I was really impressed with how well they worked on Zeekr.
It also seems to work well on the cart, which is not only a nice touch, but has practical applications too. Video host Nicky Shields points out that this makes getting kids to school faster and easier, and you don’t have to get out of the driver’s seat to get around the car and open the door for them.
The automatic doors are only available on the top-spec Privilege model, which costs €58,490 (including delivery charges), but also comes with plenty of other luxury options. One of them is air suspension with adjustable height, a feature not found in any midsize luxury car, electric or otherwise. It also has a 35-inch augmented reality head-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, a premium audio system and a full-length panoramic glass roof.
It can accelerate from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.3 seconds thanks to a 636-horsepower dual motor and all-wheel drive. The manufacturer promises that it’s also great around corners, saying it’s a true driver’s car in the official press materials. The car promises precise steering and a well-controlled chassis, which, combined with its straight-line performance, makes it one of the most fun-to-drive electric cars available at any price.
Zeekr also uploaded its lengthy, in-depth video on the 7GT, highlighting some of its most important features with input from the people who created them.
