Introduction
I know what you’re thinking: aren’t we still waiting for Zeekr to officially arrive in the UK with the the 7X? This is true, but this GT is going to follow it into showrooms - so we can expect it very soon! And on first inspection, I think the 7GT, could be the surprise package of 2026.
It’s basically the estate version of the 7 saloon, which has been on sale in other parts of the world since 2023. This GT estate was launched last year, and Zeekr has already sold more than 10,000 of them.
Range, battery and charging
Right, let’s talk numbers – because this is where the 7GT really goes big.
There are three specifications and two batteries. The Core rear-wheel-drive has the small 75 kWh battery with a claimed range of 322 miles, and then there’s a Long Range RWD offering 406 miles from a monster 100 kWh pack. The Privilege is also available with two motors, giving all-wheel-drive.
The smaller of the two batteries is known as the ‘Golden Battery’. Sadly It’s not actually made of gold, but it is still special. That’s because it’s the first LFP battery to be designed to work with an 800 volt charging system.
Quick reminder - LFP batteries are cheaper to produce and don’t contain any cobalt, so they’re more environmentally friendly than standard lithium ion packs. They’re also more robust and can handle more charge cycles.
Charging is where the 7GT really stands out from the competition. It comes with a peak DC charging of 480kW. Yes, 480kW. And that’s for both batteries - so even if you choose the smaller pack, you’ll still get insane charging speeds.
Let me put some figures on that. The smaller 75kWh will charge from 10-80% in 13 mins. The bigger 100kwh will be 16 mins. Zeekr has demonstrated that it can charge from 10-80% in under 11 minutes. Which is astonishing. That’s coffee-stop territory, not lunch-stop.
Oh, and just to complete the picture, it can charge at 22kW on an AC connection AND has Vehicle to Load as standard.
Practicality and boot space
And practicality? It gets a qualified tick from me. The cabin feels surprisingly airy – partly thanks to a low floor and long wheelbase.
You get 480 litres of boot space with the seats up. This isn’t the biggest in the class by a long stretch - a car like the Astra Sports Tourer has 516 litres and a Puma Gen-E has 574 litres, but if you fold the seats it beats them both, jumping to more than 1,700 litres.
There’s also a frunk up front, but it’s quite small and I think you’d need to have your ninja packing skills to get a charging cable in there.
Interior, design/styling and technology
Inside, there’s a definite Scandinavian vibe going on inside the 7 GT.. It’s calm. It’s modern. It’s just a lovely place to be.
There’s some seriously advanced technology baked into the GT’s interior too. Yes, the 15-inch display is pretty standard in terms of size, but with the Long Range and the Privilege you also get a massive 35.5-inch head-up display projected onto the screen. That’s not a mistype - 35.5!!
There is also the Intelligent Driving System. That uses 30 sensors dotted around the exterior of the car and a central computer that can make 508 trillion calculations per second. It’s basically set up for fully autonomous driving – once that’s approved for use in Europe.
The seats are superb. You can have heating, cooling and massage up front. And, get this, you can even spec massage seats in the back. That’s pretty much unheard of at this price point and might prevent the usual back seat mutiny when you’re on a long trip.
Motors and performance
You can choose from a few different power outputs and drive configurations. The Core model comes with a single motor, rear wheel drive and gets the LFP 75kWh battery. The Long Range RWD Launch Edition has the bigger 100kWh battery, and then there is the top spec Privilege with AWD.
In terms of performance, the Core and Long Range can do 0-62mph in around 5.3 seconds while the all-wheel drive Privilege comes with a sub four seconds time of 3.3.. Which is rapid! We don’t know how it drives yet, but Zeekr says it has been designed in Europe and tuned specifically for European roads. Be sure to keep an eye out because we will let you know as soon as we do have a go!.
Pricing and on sale date
We don’t have UK prices and specs yet - they’ll be announced nearer the launch - but we can have a pretty good guess based on prices in other markets.
In the Netherlands the Core RWDis €45,990, which is just under £40,000. The Long Range RWD equates to £44,500 and the Privilege just under £50,000. Now that’s not cheap but if you look at the specification and technology on offer, it’s actually rather good value. Look at the competition - An Audi A6 e-tron Avant STARTS at £65,000 and even the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer starts at £52,000.
Plus don’t forget that the Core entry level model comes with most things as standard, so you will really need to work out if the upgrade is worth it.
Verdict
I think this is a great package and if Zeekr can bring this to market in the UK at a competitive price and convince buyers to take it seriously it will be a big success. It looks great inside and out, the tech levels are unlike anything else in the sector and its charging abilities are next level. You might not be able to find a fast enough charger to challenge the 7GT, but it will be future proofed. It’s not the most practical of estates, and there are smaller SUVs with more space for luggage, but its stylish (and fast) enough to be seriously attractive. Let's hope Zeekr's promises about the driving dynamics are true.
