What Happened
Zeekr has announced that an updated 2027 iteration of the 7X SUV will reach Chinese showrooms before the end of the year. The primary technical revision centers on an in-house developed 85-kWh Aegis Golden Brick lithium iron phosphate battery pack, positioned to bridge the gap between existing entry and long-range variants.
The incoming battery utilizes Geely's short-blade cell architecture, engineered for enhanced structural resilience and thermal containment. In existing configurations, the 7X offers an entry 75-kWh pack delivering 620 kilometers of CLTC range alongside dual 103-kWh CATL ternary options rated for up to 802 kilometers.

Why this matters
