2026 Zeekr X Gets Power Boost for Australia

The 2026 Zeekr X is heading to Australia with a significant power upgrade. The small electric luxury SUV now offers more performance across both its rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants.

Australian Government certification documents confirm the updated model features a 250kW single-motor rear-wheel drive option and a 365kW dual-motor all-wheel drive variant. Both powertrains receive a 50kW boost thanks to a more powerful electric motor.

Torque figures also increase by 30Nm. The rear-drive variant now produces 373Nm, while the all-wheel drive model delivers 573Nm.

2026 Zeekr X Specifications

Variant	Power	Torque	0-100km/h
RWD	250kW	373Nm	5.6 seconds
AWD	365kW	573Nm	3.69 seconds

The extra power helps the AWD model sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.69 seconds, down from 3.8 seconds. The RWD variant maintains its 5.6-second time.

What Else Is New

The updated X was revealed in China in November 2025. It brings a new Seattle Green exterior color option and fresh interior choices including black, black and white, and black and orange combinations.

The 14.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system now runs Zeekr's latest 5.5 operating system, bringing improved functionality and user experience.
