The 2026 Zeekr X is officially launched in Malaysia today, following its earlier showing at the 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026).
Two variants of the 2026 Zeekr X are on sale in Malaysia, the single-motor RWD Premium and the dual-motor AWD Flagship, priced at RM159,800 and RM176,800 respectively, continuing the two-strong X offering as from the model’s arrival in Malaysia in 2024.
The update brings powertrain and equipment updates, the former being uprated specifications across both variants. Here, the Premium variant gets a 340 PS/373 Nm single rear motor – up from the outgoing model’s 272 PS – that enables a 0-100 km/h time of 5.3 seconds. The Flagship gets a 496 PS/573 Nm dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, propelling the top variant from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, or 0.1 second quicker than before.
The Premium gets a 61 kWh NMC battery, rated at up to 445 km of range on the WLTP standard, bringing a slight increase over the outgoing version’s 440 km rating. The Flagship has seen a 5 km reduction in battery range in exchange for more performance, now rated at 415 km (WLTP) with the 66 kWh CATL NMC battery.
The new base variant now supports DC charging that peaks at around 200 kW, according to Zeekr Malaysia (officially rated at 150 kW), enabling a 10-80% recharge in 30 minutes, and AC charging gets improved to 11 kW, which brings a full charge in 7.5 hours. The Flagship variant gains quicker AC charging too, at 22 kW, enabling a 0-100% charge in four hours. DC charging in the Flagship is up to 150 kW, which also brings a 10-80% charge in 30 minutes.
Revisions to the exterior of the 2026 Zeekr X which visually identify the new model are a new 19-inch wheel design on the Premium, along with a black paint finish for the 20-inch multi-spoke wheel design for the Flagship. Three new exterior colours have been introduced for the 2026 Zeekr X, and these are Onyx Black and Matte Khaki Green for the Flagship, and Porcelain Pink for the Premium.
Front doors are now powered on the latest X, operated by buttons on the B- and C-pillars, supplanting the flush-fitted door handles of the previous iteration. The B-pillars have an interactive screen that serves as a charging status indicator.
Inside, the 2026 Zeekr X gains touch buttons located below the airbag housing of the steering wheel, along with a centre console that now gets dual phone holders including a cooled Qi 50-watt wireless device charger. Also added here is a new heated and cooled (from -6 to 50 degrees Celsius) 5.7 litre storage compartment; the rear luggage compartment has grown from 362 litres to 404 litres.
Displays in the 2026 Zeekr X continue to be an 8.8-inch driver’s instrument display and a 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. Audio is by a 13-speaker system by Yamaha, while smartphone pairing is supported by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
For safety, both variants of the 2026 X receive seven airbags, AEB, ACC with stop-and-go, lane centring assist, auto lane change, evasive steering assist, blind spot monitoring, front and rear cross traffic alert, rear collision warning, parking AEB, driver attention monitor and a door opening warning as well as a 360-degree camera suite.
In Malaysia, the 2026 Zeekr X is sold with a five-year, 150,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 160,000 km high-voltage components warranty. At launch, the 2026 X is sold with a complimentary one-year data package offering 5GB per month.

“The Premium gets a 61 kWh Energee LFP battery, rated at up to 415 km of range on the WLTP standard, which is actually down from the outgoing version’s 440 km rating. The Flagship has gained battery range, now rated at 445 km WLTP despite retaining the 66 kWh CATL NMC battery.”
Wow, the LPF now is only 7.6% less density than the NMC. This mean Zeekr should have better LFP battery. LFP is better because can always charge up to 100%, more circles, less degration and higher safety level.
The current 7X RWD standard is 75kw LFP while long range is 100kw NMC. If Zeekr apply new LFP the 7X RWD standard should have at least 90kw and WLTP can be increase to at least 550km which is 70km higher than the current 480km.
the baterry range write up is mixed up. the pictures tells another story. been a fan with the weird design since coming into Malaysia.
I checked on other car media and yes Paultan making a mistake. The Zeekr X both variants are still using NMC battery. In Thailand the RWD is LFP 61kw but Malaysia still stick same NMC.
Sorry paultan team,u guys probably mistaken that our rwd is LFP,somehow our market get nmc for rwd spec range, probably didnt want us to compare with indo/thailand price..if it is lfp variant the charging rate 10-80 will be 18min..this 10-80 30min alredy like comfirm to use nmc for both..can also check the spec sheet,its 66kwh nmc..
Can’t brain how Zeekr manage to fudge the X up so badly with the batteries.
There is a country call Malaysia
RM 158K in Malaysia == RMB 300K in China ?
Cut thoart china market how to make money, when everyday auto makers thinking how to sell cheaper.
blame meetee for enforcing a floor price
Enough is enough with CCP crap.
i seriously think tht there is a need to regulate cars tht sprint in less than 6 seconds. For a price that below 200k, many ppl will able to drive such a powerful cars. Will they able to handle it? And will other cars able to react for eg, when they suddenly sprint? I think for there is a need to hv a advance driving license to drive those cars tht sprint below 6s.
The most ironic thing is you see the BMX iX, Lotus Eletre, EQS, Model 3P they are driving slow in most of the time or 99% time they not even using 50% of the electric motor power. I also driving an EV with centure sprint about 7 sec, guess what I hardly tekan also because the moment we tekan the battery drain rapidly.
I smash the accelerator whenever I want because why else would I buy a <4.0 sec 0-60mph car? I have an PHEV for long trips but even that is rare because how far do you realistically need to drive in MY?
460km range real world in city, motorway limits 350km, illegal speeds (say 150kmh but you can't average that) 300km. Not as restrictive as made out
