Targets European market with the 9X, 7X and other models

Zeekr said on Tuesday that it had unveiled its flagship SUV, the Zeekr 9X, at the 2026 Paris Motor Show and announced its strategy and plans for the European market.

According to Zeekr, its deliveries in Europe have grown rapidly this year, increasing 200% year on year. Zeekr operates in 22 European markets and aims to expand its dealer network to 200 locations by the end of this year, covering 95% of Europe.

Zeekr has now surpassed 930,000 cumulative deliveries worldwide. In the three years since entering Europe, the new brand has expanded from two models to a five-model lineup: the compact SUV Zeekr X, the shooting brake Zeekr 001, the midsize SUV Zeekr 7X, the grand tourer Zeekr 7GT, and the flagship luxury SUV Zeekr 9X.

The key model taking center stage at Zeekr's booth at the 2026 Paris Motor Show is the Zeekr 9X, which embodies its vision of "A New Class of Luxury." Before its official prices were announced in September, 200 pre-orders had already been placed for the 9X. Prices for the 9X in Europe start at 119,500 euros (about KRW 180 million), with the first customer deliveries expected to begin in January 2027.

The Zeekr 9X's key feature is its distinctive "Super Hybrid" technology. Built on a 900V architecture, the 9X prioritizes electric motor drive and uses an intelligent power generation system to overcome range limitations. Under European specifications, it delivers up to 897 horsepower, accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, and has a top speed of 240 km/h.

Zeekr also unveiled the "All-New Zeekr 7X," the latest version of its best-selling model in Europe, which recently surpassed 200,000 units in cumulative global production. Outside China, the new Zeekr 7X was first unveiled and went on sale in South Korea. Following its debut at the Paris Motor Show, it is also set to go on sale in Europe. A key feature of the new 7X is its driver-assistance system, comprising seven cameras and three radars, with newly introduced remote parking assistance and adaptive cruise control.

Zeekr Europe CEO Lothar Schupet said, "Our debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show is one of the outcomes that represents Zeekr's efforts to expand its presence in Europe. The launch of the 9X and the new 7X will bring a new class of luxury to European customers and serve as a milestone marking Zeekr's next chapter in Europe."
