The new models, starting at 229,900 yuan (32,800 USD), will officially launch in April 2026. The updated lineup features three models with pre-sale prices ranging from 229,900 yuan (32,800 USD) to 309,900 yuan (44,300 USD), representing a price increase of 10,000-14,000 yuan (1,400 – 2000 USD) compared to current models. However, official launch prices may potentially decrease. Current reservation holders who haven’t yet received delivery can upgrade to the new model until January 10, 24:00, while retaining their original purchase tax subsidies and production priority. The refreshed SU7 lineup brings improvements in multiple areas. The exterior and interior details have been refined, advanced driving assistance hardware optimized, and safety features enhanced – notably with the addition of a dedicated backup power system for door locks across all models. The vehicles also feature new motors, faster charging capabilities, improved range, and upgraded suspension systems. The refreshed SU7 features subtle exterior upgrades, including an optimized front grille design. A new Capri Blue paint option has been added alongside the existing Bay Blue. While maintaining the 20-inch wheel size, the tire width has been upgraded from 245mm front and rear to 245mm front and 265mm rear across all models, improving rear grip. All models now come standard with four-piston fixed front calipers. Safety airbag count has increased from 7 to 9 across all models. The previous armor cage-style steel-aluminum mixed body structure with maximum strength of 2000MPa now features 2200MPa hot-formed steel door anti-collision beams as standard. All models include an “embedded anti-roll cage” and new dedicated backup power for door locks. All new models are equipped with the V6s Plus motor, replacing the V6 and V6s motors in current models. Power output for Standard and Pro models has increased from 299hp to 320hp, while the Max model’s combined output rises from 673hp to 690hp. The voltage platform has been upgraded from 400V to 752V for Standard and Pro models, while the Max model advances from 871V to 897V – approaching a 900V architecture. This allows the Max model to charge from 510km to 670km in 15 minutes. Range figures have also improved across the lineup: the Standard model increases from 700km to 720km CLTC, the Pro model from 830km to 902km CLTC, and the Max model from 800km to 835km CLTC. Previously, only the Max model featured air suspension with CDC dampers. In the new lineup, both Pro and Max models will come standard with dual-chamber air suspension and CDC dampers. (CNC)

Zeekr confirms new 8X flagship PHEV SUV, launch in H1 2026 On January 5th, Zeekr officially announced that its new SUV will be named Zeekr 8X, positioned as a high-performance flagship SUV. The Zeekr 8X is expected to be launched in the first half of 2026, with an estimated starting price of 430,000 yuan (61,500 USD), according to reports. For reference, the Zeekr 9X is priced between 465,900 and 599,900 yuan (66,600 and 85,800 USD). The Zeekr 8X is built on the SEA-S (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform and is expected to feature a 900V high-voltage architecture, Haohan AI Digital Chassis, and a similar plug-in hybrid powertrain as the Zeekr 9X, including three electric motors and 6C fast-charging battery. With the Haohan AI Digital Chassis, in extreme scenarios with simultaneous tire blowouts on both wheels on the same side of a wet, slippery road at 120 km/h, the vehicle can still brake safely and stably, according to the official. In off-road scenarios, it allows the vehicle to automatically recognize seven terrains such as deep snow, mud, sand, and rocks, and can intelligently match the corresponding driving mode. Based on the currently camouflage images, the Zeekr 8X largely retains the exterior design of the Zeekr 9X. From the side, the Zeekr 8X is equipped with conventional door handles, complemented by gloss black wheels and red brake calipers. At the same time, the overall size appears to be smaller than the Zeekr 9X. For reference, the Zeekr 9X has dimensions of 5239/2029/1819 mm (l/w/h) and a wheelbase of 3169 mm. The Zeekr 8X is expected to have a length of around 5.1 meters and a wheelbase of around 3.1 meters, and may offer 5/6/7-seat configurations. A roof lidar is also present. Similar to the Zeekr 9X, the Zeekr 8X is expected to offer Geely’s G-Pilot H7 and H9 level 3 advanced driving assistance solutions, depending on the trims. The G-Pilot H7 features a Nvidia Drive Thor-U chip, boasting a computing power of 700 TOPS, while the H9 features dual Nvidia Drive Thor-U chips. (CNC)
