The Zeekr 7X has been given some sharp new design elements as part of a special edition upgrade for the premium electric mid-size SUV in Australia. 

The ‘Black Special Edition’ 7X starts from $75,900 (before on-road costs), which is a $3000 increase on the most expensive Performance all-wheel drive variant.

The car gets some major exterior changes, including a gloss black body paint, differing from the Performance grade's ‘Onyx’ black as well as green, blue, grey and white body colour options.

The gloss black finish continues elsewhere on the car, including front and rear lower bumpers, lower door exterior trims finished and roof rails. 

It rides on 20-inch alloy wheels and gets a 7X black badge on the rear of the car. 

On the inside, there is Black Nappa leather interior trim, contrasting the white trim usually found on the top-grade model. 

Zeekr has introduced this car off the back of sustained demand from buyers for a darker and more bold overall design on the 7X.

Performance-wise, the car keeps the same figures as the range-topping 7X, which has 475kW and 710Nm, with the 0-100km/h sprint taking 3.8 seconds. 

The 7X has had a blistering start to its life in Australia with more than 1000 sales in 2026, catapulting it one of the best selling EVs in the country. 

It also earned the 2026 CarsGuide Car of the Year Best Medium SUV under $60K, up against regular favourites such as the Toyota RAV4

Despite its solid sales so far, its key rival the Tesla Model Y has sold more than 4000 units in 2026

This new range-topping 7X, however, is still cheaper than the comparable Model Y, which starts from $89,400, before on-roads. 

The Sealion 7 remains the budget pick of the segment, with a price of $63,990, it has amassed 1327 sales so far this year.
