X Core RWD (MY26)

The Zeekr X Core RWD (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €37,990 in Germany and €37,990 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds, quicker than 58% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 165 miles (265 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 233rd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (177 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 47 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 65 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 185 miles (297 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.
