Overview

The Zeekr X is a compact from Zeekr, one of China's leading EV manufacturers. Zeekr is the premium EV brand under Geely (parent of Volvo), combining European engineering with Chinese manufacturing efficiency.

With a range of 440 km km on the WLTP cycle, the X offers excellent range for Canadian conditions. In winter temperatures around -20°C (common in cities like Montreal, Ottawa, and Winnipeg), expect approximately 330 km of real-world range — a 25% reduction that is standard across all EVs.

At an estimated $38,000 CAD, the X positions itself as a strong value proposition in the Canadian market.Note that Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. Provincial incentives vary — Quebec's Roulez Vert offers $2,000 for eligible models, while Manitoba explicitly excludes China-built EVs from its rebate program.
