Zeekr Drops Sharp 7 GT Wagon Under $A44,000

Comments

In a world dominated by electric SUVs, Zeekr is carving out space for a body style that's long overdue for an EV revival—the wagon (shooting brake). And not just any wagon. The newly launched Zeekr 7 GT blends performance, sleek design, and ultra-fast charging in a package that’s priced to shake up the market.

Shock Pricing, Serious Value

Let’s start with the biggest surprise: the price tag. In China, the 7 GT lands well below what most would expect for something this quick, this roomy, and this futuristic.

VariantStarting Price (AUD equivalent)
Entry-level RWD Just under $44,000
Dual-motor AWD Just under $50,000

That’s serious value, especially for buyers comparing this to the likes of Porsche or BMW’s electric wagons, which cost more than double.

Charging That Redefines "Fast"

The entry-level version isn’t just affordable, it’s also one of the fastest-charging EVs in the world.

  • Battery: 75 kWh LFP pack (Golden battery, in-house developed)
  • Charging speed: Up to 500 kW (thanks to 800V architecture)
  • Charge time (10–80%): Just 10.5 minutes on a high-power charger

Zeekr’s high-voltage setup isn’t just for bragging rights—it’s a game changer for road trippers and daily drivers alike.

Range That Handles Australian Distance Needs

Australia’s vast distances demand range and Zeekr delivers on both variants.

Variant Battery Type Range (CLTC) Estimated WLTP
Entry-level RWD 75 kWh LFP 650 km ~570 km
Dual-motor AWD 100 kWh NCM 825 km ~700+ km

Even on more conservative WLTP numbers, these figures put the 7 GT among the longest-range EVs available.

Rapid Convenience

Don’t let the family-friendly format fool you. This wagon has serious performance chops.

VariantPower 0–100 km/h
RWD (rear motor) 310 kW / 440 Nm 5.2 seconds
AWD (dual motor) 475 kW combined 3.8 seconds

That’s enough to leave plenty of sporty SUVs and even some sports cars in the rear-view mirror.

Design That Mixes Function with Flair

Zeekr isn’t just pushing performance. It’s targeting a specific buyer: the kind who wants the look of a sleek coupe but the space of a wagon.

  • Sloping roofline and wide stance appeal to style-conscious drivers
  • Expected to convert some traditional SUV buyers
  • Large wheels and low-slung body hint at its sporty nature

Inside, it’s just as smart:

  • Minimalist cabin with physical buttons for key controls (yes, real buttons!)
  • Small driver display and large head-up display
  • Clean layout that prioritises usability over gimmicks

Wagons Are Back And EV Buyers Should Be Excited

Electric wagons are rare. Outside of ultra-premium offerings like the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo or the upcoming BMW i5 Touring, there’s been little for wagon lovers to get excited about.

That’s what makes the Zeekr 7 GT such a breath of fresh air. It brings:

  • Sports car-level performance
  • Family-sized practicality
  • Global-ready features at a mainstream price

It’s the kind of EV many Australians didn’t even realise they wanted—until now.

Global Momentum, Local Ambitions

Zeekr is expanding fast. In Australia, the brand already offers:

  • Zeekr X: A small, sharp-handling electric SUV
  • Zeekr 009: A luxury people mover

Next up? The Zeekr 7X SUV, due in the second half of 2025. And if the 7 GT makes it here at anything close to its China pricing, it’ll send a clear message: the era of boring wagons is over.
