The Zeekr 007 GT, a sleek electric wagon from Geely’s premium EV brand, is turning heads with glowing reviews as it gears up for its European debut in Q2 2025. Branded as the Zeekr 7 GT in Europe, this “shooting brake” blends supercar performance, rapid charging, and practical space, positioning it as a bold challenger to the likes of Porsche and BMW.

Lightning-Fast Performance
Built on Geely’s 800V Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA) platform, the 007 GT delivers thrilling power. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup churns out 637 horsepower, rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.95 seconds. Reviewers praise its sharp handling and smooth ride, with a stiffer chassis and Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires ensuring grip through corners. “The 007 GT corners with minimal understeer,” notes CarNewsChina, crediting its responsive 12.5:1 steering.

Game-Changing Charging and Range
The 007 GT’s standout feature is its ultra-fast charging. Equipped with a 75 kWh lithium iron phosphate “Golden Battery,” it can charge from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes at a 500 kW DC fast charger, adding up to 311 miles of range in 15 minutes. A 100 kWh option pushes the range to 512 miles on China‘s CLTC cycle, though European WLTP estimates suggest around 400 miles. This charging speed could ease range anxiety for European drivers tackling long road trips.

Premium Comfort Meets Practicality
The wagon’s design maximizes space, offering 22.7 cubic feet of cargo room with seats up and 61.3 cubic feet with seats folded, ideal for families. Its luxurious interior features a 15.4-inch rotating touchscreen, a 35.5-inch augmented reality head-up display, and a 21-speaker audio system. “It’s a striking car from the outside, but also a very pleasant way to travel,” TechRadar’s reviewer adds, noting the plush rear seating.

Competitive Edge in Europe
Priced from $27,615 in China, the 7 GT will likely start above $52,000 in Europe due to tariffs and market positioning, aligning with rivals like the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer. Zeekr’s focus on European tastes, with design input from Gothenburg, Sweden, gives it an edge. However, brand loyalty to Audi and BMW could pose challenges. Still, its blend of performance, tech, and value has reviewers optimistic about its potential to shake up the market.

EVXL’s Take
The Zeekr 7 GT isn’t just another EV—it’s a wake-up call for legacy automakers. Its blistering speed and family-friendly design make it a rare gem in a sea of SUVs. For European EV enthusiasts, this wagon offers a thrilling yet practical alternative to pricier rivals. Picture loading up camping gear, zipping past gas stations, and recharging in the time it takes to grab a coffee. Zeekr’s bold move proves Chinese EVs are no longer playing catch-up—they’re setting the pace.
