The Zeekr 7X features a high-strength steel-aluminum hybrid body composed of 83.3% high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, of which 31.1% is made of ultra-high-strength hot-formed steel (1500 & 2000 MPa). The vehicle structure is reinforced with eight horizontal and nine vertical collision structures, single-piece die-cast aluminum components, and rear puncture-resistant steel plates, creating a "mobile safety fortress."

Based on the SEA architecture, the Zeekr 7X also incorporates comprehensive electromagnetic radiation safety protection, with a multi-layer electromagnetic safety design establishing a top-notch EMC development process for the vehicle and its components, achieving aerospace-grade electromagnetic safety from component level to the whole vehicle.

Additionally, the driver's side door storage compartment features a safety window-breaking tool that can generate up to 3,000N of instantaneous impact force with just around 50N of pulling force. The vehicle is also equipped with a child safety intelligent seat with airbags designed to provide maximum safety for children, supporting direct vehicle power connection and integrating with cabin data for convenient control of the seat's ventilation through the vehicle's interface.

The Zeekr 7X showcases strong product capabilities across the board. It will be unveiled at the Malaysia Automotive Show and is expected to be launched in the third quarter of this year with price between RM170,000 and RM200,000.
