Zeekr 7X: UAE’s Next Premium EV Challenger Set for September Launch

Abu Dhabi : Zeekr enters the UAE market with its bold electric SUV, the 7X, promising luxury, futuristic design, and cutting-edge performance ahead of its September arrival.

• Zeekr 7X is set to rival Tesla Model Y with luxury, tech, and performance.
• Developed by Geely’s global design teams in Sweden and China.
• UAE launch in September; distributed exclusively by AW Rostamani.
• Zeekr 9X is also teased as an ultra-luxury hybrid seven-seater.

The UAE’s electric vehicle space is heating up, and leading the next premium wave is Zeekr — Geely’s luxury EV brand. With its much-anticipated Zeekr 7X arriving in September, the brand aims to blend futuristic design, innovative tech, and comfort into one bold SUV. Unveiled recently at the Shanghai Motor Show, the 7X has already turned heads as it sets sights on UAE roads.

Bold Design and Clean Luxury

The Zeekr 7X is a midsize, all-electric SUV built with a 4,787mm length and a 2,900mm wheelbase, offering generous interior space and comfort. Part of the “Stargate” design family, the 7X boasts sleek lines, a minimalist silhouette, and high-quality cabin finishes. Stefan Sielaff, Zeekr’s VP of Design, called it “a pure and distinctive statement of what EV design should be — futuristic, without unnecessary ornamentation.”

Inside, the cabin offers a plush experience with rich materials, spacious seating, and intelligent digital systems. Designed to take on rivals from Tesla, BMW, and Audi, the 7X positions itself at the edge of tomorrow’s premium EV segment.

Why UAE Is a Priority Market

Zeekr’s entry into the UAE is backed by AW Rostamani, who will handle exclusive distribution. The country’s appetite for high-tech, luxury vehicles makes it a natural fit. “The UAE is a luxury-driven market with a strong appetite for innovation and performance,” said Mars Chen, Vice President at Zeekr. “We believe the 7X — along with our upcoming models like the 9X — can meet the high expectations of this region.”

AW Rostamani CEO Tom Fux added, “More customers are showing interest in new energy vehicles in UAE, as we observe a growing demand for sustainable premium-luxury products, while there is a clear gap in the offer. AWR and Zeekr will fill that gap with the 7X.”

What Zeekr 7X Brings to the Table

• Length: 4,787mm with 2,900mm wheelbase.
• Segment: Positioned between C and D segments.
• Competitor: Tesla Model Y.
• Features: Advanced cockpit, high-speed charging, minimalistic design.

Looking Ahead with Zeekr 9X

Not stopping at the 7X, Zeekr also previewed the 9X — a large seven-seater plug-in hybrid SUV meant to compete with ultra-luxury brands like Rolls-Royce. Its focus on electric range, performance, and advanced driving aids hints at Zeekr’s long-term plans to lead in both innovation and elegance.

With the Zeekr 7X launching in September, the UAE EV market is set for a new benchmark in tech and luxury. Backed by a visionary design team, strong local partnership, and plans for broader offerings, Zeekr’s arrival signals the rise of a serious new contender in the premium EV race.
