Zeekr unveils CX1E teaser shots, pursuing large-size design
Zeekr has officially unveiled the first teaser images of its debut family SUV, codenamed CX1E during development. The model will carry forward the design language of the Zeekr 007 sedan and is anticipated to feature an 800V high-voltage platform across all trim levels, with a targeted driving range surpassing 700 kilometers (approximately 435 miles) on a single charge.
Exterior Design
Positioned as a midsize SUV, the new model will feature significantly larger dimensions compared to the current Zeekr X. The front fascia adopts a familiar design language—first seen on the Zeekr 007 sedan—with the SUV fully replicating its sleek front-end styling.
Earlier, Autohome released speculative renderings of this model for reference. The front fascia features a full-width interactive light bar with the main headlight clusters positioned below. Notably, a LiDAR sensor is visible on the roof, confirming the SUV will be equipped with high-level autonomous driving capabilities.
Exterior Design Details
The vehicle's muscular side profile features clean, robust surfaces with flush-mounted door handles for improved aerodynamics. At the rear, it adopts a near-full-width light bar with a bold, sculpted tailgate design.
Interior & Powertrain Details
The cabin adopts a minimalist design language closely aligned with the Zeekr 007, featuring:
✔ Curved digital instrument cluster
✔ Floating center touchscreen (expected 15.6" OLED)
✔ Redesigned steering wheel (new three-spoke layout observed)
Powertrain Highlights:
-
Full-range 800V SiC platform (ultra-fast charging capability)
-
Dual battery options:
-
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) – Cost efficiency
-
Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) – Energy density focus
-
-
Targeted range: 700+ km (CLTC) / ~440 miles
Technical Notes:
• Silicon Carbide (SiC) motors enable ≥95% energy efficiency
• 800V architecture supports 350kW+ peak charging rates (10-80% in ~15 mins)
Market Positioning:
Positioned as a tech-forward family SUV, the model will likely inherit Zeekr’s signature:
-
ZEEKR OS 6.0 with enhanced voice AI
-
Immersion cooling for battery systems
We’ll continue tracking development – including anticipated ADAS specs and interior material choices.
