Zeekr has taken $7,000 off the X across both variants, and the RWD now lands at $49,900 driveaway. That's a significant move. Under $50k driveaway for a premium electric SUV with a 66kWh battery, 440km of range, and Mobileye SuperVision is hard to beat. The AWD drops to $57,900 driveaway.
We've updated the Zeekr X RWD and AWD pricing in our database. You'll see the price drop flagged on the car detail pages.
Why This Matters
At $56,900 before on-roads, the Zeekr X was already competitive. At $49,900 driveaway, it's in a different league. For context, a BYD Atto 3 starts at $39,990 before on-roads (roughly $43-45k driveaway), and a MG MG4 Excite 64 is $37,990 driveaway. The Zeekr is more expensive, but it feels like a more premium product with better tech.
The Zeekr X is built on Geely's SEA platform (same architecture as the Volvo EX30 and Polestar 2), which gives it a premium underpinning that the Chinese-brand competitors can't match. Mobileye SuperVision is a genuine selling point too. It's one of the more capable Level 2+ systems on sale, handling highway driving, lane changes, and stop-and-go traffic with minimal driver input.
The Interior

The cabin is where the Zeekr X justifies its position above the Atto 3 and MG4. Light-coloured synthetic leather, a floating touchscreen that rotates between portrait and landscape, and a clean dashboard design that feels Scandinavian rather than budget. The build quality reflects the Geely/Volvo connection. Materials are soft where they need to be, switches feel solid, and the overall ambience is a step up from anything else at this price.

Our Take
At $49,900 driveaway, the Zeekr X RWD just became the most interesting EV under $50k in Australia. The range is solid, the interior is genuinely premium, and Mobileye SuperVision gives it a tech edge that the Atto 3 and MG4 can't match. The $7,000 cut suggests Zeekr is serious about building volume here.
The question is brand awareness. Most Australian buyers still haven't heard of Zeekr. But at this price, with this spec, word will get around. If you're shopping for an EV under $50k, this deserves a test drive.
