The fully electric midsize SUV ZEEKR 7X has been awarded the highest possible five-star rating by Euro NCAP, one of the world’s most respected vehicle safety assessment organizations. The result reinforces ZEEKR’s growing reputation in Europe as a brand that places safety at the core of its product strategy, DKNews.kz reports.
Strong Results Across All Key Safety Categories
In Euro NCAP crash tests, the ZEEKR 7X delivered consistently high scores across multiple categories:
- 91% for adult occupant protection
- 90% for child occupant protection
- 83% for the effectiveness of active safety systems (Safety Assist)
These results position the ZEEKR 7X among the top performers in its segment and highlight the brand’s focus on real-world safety rather than headline features alone.
The five-star rating also builds on earlier successes. ZEEKR 001 and ZEEKR X both received top Euro NCAP scores in 2024, meaning every ZEEKR model currently offered in Europe now carries a five-star safety rating.
SEA Architecture and a Reinforced Body Structure
The ZEEKR 7X is built on the brand’s advanced SEA modular architecture, designed with both active and passive safety in mind. The structure incorporates a wide range of modern materials, including high-strength steel.
A standout feature is the one-piece aluminum rear underbody casting, which significantly improves structural rigidity and provides an additional layer of protection in the event of a collision.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
The vehicle is equipped with a comprehensive suite of ADAS technologies, which played a key role in its Euro NCAP performance. These include:
- automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- adaptive cruise control
- automatic lane change assistance
- a 3D surround-view camera system
- front and rear cross-traffic alert
- an augmented-reality head-up display
- driver monitoring system
- child presence detection inside the cabin
In the event of a crash, the system can automatically apply braking to help prevent secondary impacts - an increasingly important element in modern safety assessments.
Safety Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
Beyond safety, the ZEEKR 7X offers competitive performance and efficiency. The model is available in single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations.
Driving range reaches up to 615 km under the WLTP cycle, while the vehicle’s 800-volt electrical architecture allows fast charging from 10% to 80% in as little as 13 minutes, depending on charging conditions.
What This Means for the Market
Earning a five-star Euro NCAP rating strengthens ZEEKR’s position in the European EV market and underlines the rapid progress Chinese electric vehicles have made in meeting - and often exceeding - global safety standards.
For consumers, the result sends a clear message: ZEEKR 7X is not only competitive in design and technology, but also ranks among the safest electric SUVs available today.
