The Zeekr X 2025 has made a strong impression in the GCC market as a compelling option for drivers who value both sporty performance and contemporary styling. This compact electric crossover delivers blistering acceleration alongside a suite of cutting edge technologies, earning praise and occasional caveats from leading Arabic and international reviewers. Below is an overview of the driving experience, covering acceleration, design, interior tech, safety, and pricing.

Outstanding Acceleration Performance

The Zeekr X 2025 delivers remarkable straight line speed, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds in its top variant. Top Gear lauded that time as truly extraordinary, warning that such launch force can induce some rear end sway, though Zeekr insists its traction control is ten times more effective than conventional systems.

Auto Express went further, observing that the Zeekr X accelerates even quicker than a Porsche 911 Carrera 4, yet advised buyers to treat it primarily as an urban crossover, since its suspension cannot fully tame high speed undulations. Meanwhile, Business Times pointed out that the soft suspension, while compromising hardcore performance feedback, actually suits daily city driving, reinforcing the Zeekr X’s role as an agile yet practical electric crossover.

European Chinese Design Fusion

Although Zeekr X is manufactured in China, its design benefits from European studios that previously worked with Volvo, Mercedes, and BMW. The exterior combines BMW i3 and iX cues, featuring sharp headlights and a sleek body that showcase German engineering precision. This fusion of European style and Chinese technology gives the crossover a distinctive character and strengthens its appeal in the Gulf’s small electric SUV market.

Tech Rich Interior

The Zeekr X interior impresses not only with its performance pedigree and sleek exterior styling but also with its cutting edge cabin design. A large central infotainment screen displays navigation and multimedia content with razor sharp precision. Sustainable, high quality materials throughout the cabin lend a sense of refinement, while the Yamaha sound system delivers crystal clear audio. Drivers see real time information, speed, alerts, and more projected onto the windshield, allowing them to keep their eyes on the road. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity ensure seamless access to music, calls, and navigation.

Rear seat occupants benefit from generous legroom thanks to the Zeekr X’s extended wheelbase, contradicting Top Gear’s note about restricted space beneath the front seats. The cargo area offers 362 liters (12.8 cubic feet) of capacity, which is less than some rivals, such as the Volvo XC40 Recharge, but remains practical for daily errands and short family outings.

Advanced Safety Standards


The Zeekr X achieved a five star Euro NCAP rating by delivering outstanding crash performance for both adult and child occupants. Its comprehensive safety suite provides features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure alerts, and adaptive cruise control, all designed to support the driver. While some owners report that frequent system interventions can feel intrusive, Zeekr continuously refines its assistance algorithms via over the air updates to boost comfort and optimize the overall experience.

Unique Features Not Found Elsewhere

Several reviews highlighted exclusive features in the Zeekr X, such as an audio warning system that alerts pedestrians to approaching vehicles and a pet-presence display on the door screens when owners return. The car also includes reminders that notify drivers when it’s time to return after a temporary stop, enhancing the connection between the user and its smart cabin.

Competitive Pricing Draws Interest

Zeekr X’s competitive pricing strengthens its position among electric SUVs in the Gulf. In Saudi Arabia, the top trim starts at SAR 213,750 (209,335 AED), at least 25 percent less than direct rivals such as the Volvo XC40 Recharge. This gap makes Zeekr X an attractive option for buyers who want advanced electric technology, sporty performance, and premium luxury without overspending.

The 2025 Zeekr X pairs blistering acceleration with refined European styling and intelligent tech features, making it an ideal choice for Gulf drivers seeking a comprehensive urban driving experience. Whether pursuing lightning fast acceleration or enjoying a sophisticated digital cockpit, this crossover delivers on every front without sacrificing quality.
