Electric Premium Compact Crossover of the Year
ZEEKR X Electric
On first glance, the sheer power of the Zeekr X AWD is what steals the show, giving this little crossover supercar-like acceleration: 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Still, the X's real persona is that of a plush electric runabout, boasting standout styling and a luxurious cabin. Perhaps the most compelling reason to get this over the RWD variant though? Even more features are on offer, spanning everything from a Yamaha sound system to a crisp heads-up display.

This car is the future, much better than the old and overpriced Euro brands with dinosaur tech. The display is fast and snappy, I think they used high end chips to power it.

Test drove the X in RWD variant and my observations and review as below.Likes- Mimalist interior with luxury material touches especially on the doors, seats, dashboards & steering wheel- Responsive touchscreen and easy to use IU- Design is rather unique amongst EV competitors especially from the front & rear- Electric seats were quiet & smooth comes with ventilated seats- Drive was smooth and powerful enough with stable handling due to SEA platform similar in Volvo EX30- First car I've tested with Yamaha speakers system!Dislikes- The design language from the side looks disproportionate, it's almost like an Opel Mokka- Boot space is rather small before folding- Panaromic roof but no auto blind/shades, includes a foldable shade though- Overpriced and price package not attractive enough for adopters of this new brandAt the price point of almost $200k (time of writing), this must be the most overpriced EV in S'pore. Besides the luxury cabin interior nothing else about it can compete with German brands EV or even it's sister brand Volvo & Polestar. A reasonable and considerable price I recommend will range from $170 (RWD) ~$190 (AWD).I do praise the new showroom that gives off a luxury and energetic feel accompanied with the free design desserts that's reminiscent of Lexus's servicing.

Verdict
No shortage of new names today are attempting to stake a claim in the business of premium cars. Among them, China's Zeekr has arguably been one of the most convincing - and even the smallest member of its family shows how.

It starts with a cabin that feels more Swedish than Chinese (Zeekr's global design centre is located in Gothenburg after all). Plush leather abounds; brushed metal in rose gold lines the doors, the dash, and the seats. On this top-spec AWD variant, there's even a 13-speaker Yamaha sound system on board to bring the best out of your 2025 Spotify Wrapped playlist.

And while the X doesn't deviate from many other EVs on the market with its heavily-digitised dashboard, both its central infotainment touchscreen and digital instrument cluster feel thoughtfully concocted. The screens are snappy, the graphics are sharp, and the typography is pleasant. Most importantly, the user interface feels easy to navigate.

Even from an exterior design standpoint, the X is a standout. Eschewing the excessive smoothness of modern EVs, this compact runabout is all about turning heads. Lines criss-cross on its doors, and its front and rear ends lean heavily into angularity with their narrow lights and creased sheet metal. Smaller dimensions notwithstanding, this is something that a supervillain might take delight in as a runabout.

Its straight-line speed is also something that a supervillain might take delight in. A supercar-rivalling 315kW (422 bhp) and 543 Nm from twin motors allows the X to smash the century sprint in 3.8 seconds - quicker than a base 911 Carrera. After you're done with scaring your passengers, making amends is easy thanks to its hushed cabin and cushy ride. For a compact car, it's quite something to cruise around in.

We've since seen Zeekr bring the 7X SUV (already its bestseller now) and the all-out 009 MPV to Singapore. Once again, both are stellar takes on new-school luxury, albeit in bigger form. But the existence of the X is proof that Zeekr knows that luxury extends beyond just the flagships.
