Zeekr 8X Unveiled, Set for Q1 2026 Launch as Premium Hybrid SUV

[New Vehicle Launch] The Zeekr 8X has officially made its debut, built on the SEA-S super hybrid electric architecture, and is scheduled to launch in Q1 2026.

Core Developments: Flagship SUV Positioning Confirmed, Design and Specifications Directly Compete with the 9X

As Zeekr’s second flagship model following the 9X, the Zeekr 8X continues the brand’s family design language, featuring a seamless vertical-slat grille, a body proportioned at the 0.618 golden ratio, and zero-gap door craftsmanship—a technique also used by Rolls-Royce. The interior includes an integrated panoramic display, a steering-column-mounted gear selector, and a Naim audio system, offering both 5-seat and 6-seat configurations.

Key Specifications: Dimensions Nearly Match the 9X, Top Trim Approaches RMB 500,000

The vehicle measures 5,100 mm (L) × 1,998 mm (W) × 1,780 mm (H), with a wheelbase of 3,069 mm and a wheel-to-body ratio of 1:4. Given the 9X’s average transaction price of RMB 538,000, the 8X is expected to have an average transaction price exceeding RMB 430,000, with the top trim nearing RMB 500,000.

Strategic Foundation: Expanding the Premium Product Portfolio to Capture the High-Performance Hybrid-Electric Market

With the 8X, Zeekr further penetrates the mid-to-large high-performance SUV segment, strengthens synergies among multiple models under the SEA-S architecture, and enhances the brand’s premium pricing power.
