Chinese EV brand Zeekr says it has a significant order backlog after a strong month of April that resulted in nearly 1,000 deliveries of its Zeekr 7X electric SUV, and took its order book to more than 2,500.
The 7X finished April with 973 sales, placing it third in the month behind the BYD SeaLion 7 and the Geely EX5, and ahead of its main competitor, the Tesla Model Y.
That took its year to date sales to 2,698, also third in Australia and behind the Model Y and the BYD Sealion 7, according to data compiled by The Driven.

The company also reports a 280 per cent jump in customer enquires on its website compared to 6 months ago, and a 173 per cent boost in website traffic over the same period.
Since arriving in Australia last year, Zeekr has delivered more than 3,900 examples of the 7X. Frank Li, managing director of Zeekr Australia, said the strong sales performance and the growing order book is a powerful signal that awareness and trust in the brand are accelerating.
“What’s most encouraging is that this growth isn’t just interest on paper – it’s translating directly into Zeekr vehicles on Australian roads,” he said.
“Our focus now is sustaining this pace as more customers experience what Zeekr’s premium electric mobility can deliver.”
The entry rear-wheel-drive version starts from $57,900 before on-road costs and comes with a 75 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering up to 480 km of WLTP driving range.
It packs 800-volt battery architecture capable of DC charging speeds of up to 450 kW.
All variants of the 7X include 22 kW AC charging capability.
The Long Range RWD version ups the range to up to 615 km thanks to a larger 100 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery pack.
The Performance AWD model and the recently launched Black Edition, deliver 475 kW of power and 710 Nm of torque, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds while delivering more than 540 km of WLTP range.
All 7X models also include vehicle-to-load (V2L) with a 3.3 kW output. Zeekr plans to expand its lineup in Australia later this year.
