2026 Zeekr X Compact Electric SUV Launched In Thailand - Explained All Spec, Features And More

The updated 2026 model year Zeekr X has made its way to Thailand, just weeks after debuting in Europe. The Chinese compact electric SUV, appearing at the ongoing Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS), receives some significant mechanical upgrades that belies its unchanged looks. In fact, so subtle are the visual updates that only the colours are different. Onyx Black and the Porcelain Pink you see here join the range at the expense of Mist Grey and Pine Green. Powered front doors, previously only offered in China, have now made it to overseas markets on the Flagship AWD model, with the flush door handles being replaced by buttons on the B- and C-pillars. It’s the same story on the inside, with all-new colour schemes that include orange and black, white and black (as per this unit) and full black. There’s also a new touchpad on the steering wheel below the airbag boss for controlling certain functions, as well as a massage function for the front seats. No mention of whether the 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen can be slid to the passenger side, as is the case in Europe (there’s still an 8.8-inch instrument display and a 24.3-inch augmented-reality head-up display). The big change is to the mechanicals. Both variants receive uprated motors – the rear-wheel-drive Standard version now produces 340 PS (250 kW) and 373 Nm of torque, up from 272 PS (200 kW). Despite this, it still gets from zero to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds. On the other hand, the Flagship gets boosted by 68 PS (50 kW) and 30 Nm to 496 PS (365 kW) and 573 Nm, shaving a tenth of a second off the century sprint, which it completes in just 3.7 seconds. More importantly, the base model gains a new battery that hopefully improves safety. The Standard is now juiced by a 61 kWh Energee LFP battery, and because of the slight shortfall in capacity versus the 66 kWh NMC battery, the range has actually dropped to 405 km on the WLTP cycle – some way down the previous 440 km. Meanwhile, the Flagship’s 66 kWh NMC pack continues to be sourced from CATL and delivers 415 km of range (previous range was 420 km). The use of a CATL NMC battery distances the X from the Volvo EX30, which is currently embroiled in a recall involving Sunwoda-supplied packs. The change in battery for the Standard means that it now supports up to 230 kW of DC fast charging, so topping it up from 10 to 80% takes 18 minutes. Oddly, the Flagship continues to be handicapped at 150 kW and takes a yawning 30 minutes to charge to the same level, although it does now support 22 kW of AC charging instead of the usual 11 kW. In Thailand, the X is priced at 899,000 baht (RM110,700) for the Standard and 1,069,000 baht (RM131,600) for the Flagship. ↪ ⚠If someone has any problem with this video and want to remove this video from my channel then before give me strike contact me I will definitely delete this video⚠ ➡️ contact:- [email protected] #niksautomotive #zeekannadanews #suv
