X Long Range RWD (MY26)

The Zeekr X Long Range RWD (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €42,990 in Germany and €42,990 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds, quicker than 63% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 205 miles (330 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 25% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 197th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.4 mi/kWh (182 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 60 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 140 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 252 miles (405 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.
