For MY26, the Zeekr X will open from $48,900 drive-away for the single-motor rear-wheel drive version (previously $49,900 before on-road costs), with the dual-motor all-wheel drive flagship now priced at $57,900 drive-away (previously $62,900 plus on-roads).

The updated lineup is due to hit Australian showrooms in May, and to sweeten the deal Zeekr is promoting pre-order and trade-in offers available until May 31.

Pricing

Zeekr Australia is offering national drive-away pricing across the MY26 range, resulting in big savings (see below).

Model	Drive-away pricing	MY25 price before on-road costs
2026 Zeekr X RWD	$48,900	$49,900
2026 Zeekr X AWD	$57,900	$62,900

Drivetrains and Efficiency

As before, there are RWD and AWD variants, each of which now gets a 50kW peak power bump.

Specifications	Zeekr X RWD	Zeekr X AWD
Drivetrain	Single-motor electric	Dual-motor electric
Battery	61kWh LFP	66kWh NMC
Power	250kW	115kW + 250kW Total: 365kW

Energy consumption (claimed)	TBC	TBC
Claimed range – WLTP	405km	415km
Max AC charge rate	11kW	22kW
Max DC charge rate	230kW	150kW

The 2026 Zeekr X RWD now gets the brand's new 'Golden Battery' technology, featuring a new 61kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and Cell-to-Pack (CFP) architecture from the larger 7X. The new battery is claimed to have been "further optimised for faster charging, enhanced safety and improved thermal stability".

It means the base grade can now charge at a rate of up to 230kW using a DC fast-charger (up from 150kW) and the battery can be charged from 10-80 per cent in around 18 minutes, a reduction of around 12 minutes. The AWD's nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) lithium-ion battery retains its 150kW DC charging cap.

AC charging has also been improved for both variants, with the RWD now able to take 11kW (up from 7.2kW) and the AWD doubling its previous cap to 22kW (from 11kW).

WLTP range for the MY26 Zeekr X RWD is rated at 405km, while the AWD quotes 415km. For reference, the pre-update versions had ADR (NEDC) claims of 540km and 470km, respectively.

Servicing and Warranty

No changes to the five-year warranty have been announced, though Zeekr has confirmed shorter service intervals for the MY26 Zeekr X, with the previous 24-month/40,000km intervals revised to 12-month/20,000km.

Servicing and Warranty	Zeekr X RWD	Zeekr X AWD

For reference, each odd-year service (ie: the first, third, etc) costs $279 for both grades through to the seventh year, with the difference being the even-year visits (second, fourth, etc) which can cost as much as $1450 (AWD).

Safety

The pre-update Zeekr X achieved a five-star ANCAP safety rating based on 2024 testing by sister firm Euro NCAP, and this is expected to carry over for the 2026 model.

Category	Zeekr X
Adult occupant protection	91 per cent
Child occupant protection	89 per cent
Vulnerable road user protection	84 per cent
Safety assist	84 per cent

All X vehicles also receive the brand's new Zeekr AD driver assistance suite, which incorporates five HD cameras, five millimetre-wave radar sensors, 12 ultrasonic sensors dotted around the vehicle, as well as Remote Parking Assist "for tight urban conditions".

Standard safety equipment for MY25 models includes:

7 airbags (incl. front centre)
Autonomous emergency braking (front and rear)
Adaptive cruise control
Automatic lane change
Blind-spot monitoring
Driver attention monitoring
Front and rear cross-traffic alert
Lane-centring
Lane-keep assist
Evasive Manoeuvre Assist
Surround-view camera
Tyre pressure monitoring
Low-speed pedestrian warning sound
Digital video recorder

It's worth noting that Euro NCAP has confirmed the Zeekr X was the first vehicle to be used for experimental 'research tests' as the European and Australian crash testers develop upcoming 2029 protocols that will provide a deeper evaluation of how advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) interact with each other.
