Zeekr 7GT Dazzles at Sydney EV Show with Scandi Chic Power

The Sydney International EV Show 2025 has come and gone, but one car’s still lodged in our collective memory like a Kylie chorus on repeat — the Zeekr 7GT. Making its first-ever appearance in Australia, this electric shooting brake didn’t just arrive quietly; it glided in like a Scandinavian supermodel late to fashion week and utterly unbothered about it.

Over the weekend at ICC Sydney, Zeekr’s stand drew constant crowds, eager to see if China’s luxury EV brand could really deliver the goods. Spoiler: it did. The 7GT took centre stage alongside the 7X SUV, 009 MPV, and the compact Zeekr X, but the shooting brake stole the show — part spaceship, part sculpture, and all attitude.

Performance That’s More “Björk on a Jetpack” Than “Budget Commuter”

The Zeekr 7GT isn’t just a pretty face. Underneath its wind-cheating silhouette (a frankly ridiculous 0.198 Cd drag coefficient) sits a pair of silicon carbide e-motors that slingshot it from 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds. That’s hypercar territory, darling — but done in complete, silent composure.

The RWD Long Range variant shown in Sydney packs a 100kWh battery and delivers an eye-watering 825km of range (CLTC). It’s supported by Zeekr’s 800V Golden Battery technology, which juices from 10% to 80% in just 10.5 minutes — about the time it takes to order and finish a flat white in Surry Hills.

Design: Scandinavian Cool Meets Chinese Innovation

Created at Zeekr’s Gothenburg design centre, the 7GT embodies Scandinavian minimalism with a side of Shanghai swagger. Its sleek profile could double as a modern art installation, while inside, it’s all about tactile luxury and quiet sophistication. Every surface whispers premium.

The cabin’s a masterclass in calm technology: soft-touch materials, buttery leather, and ambient lighting that makes everyone look like they’ve had a facial. The digital displays are slick and intuitive — no faffing about — and the driving position feels perfectly dialled-in for long, effortless stints behind the wheel.

The Golden Touch

That Golden Battery isn’t just fast; it’s clever. Designed with advanced thermal management and cutting-edge chemistry, it’s a benchmark for EV safety and efficiency. The tech nerds were drooling almost as much as the design crowd — though admittedly, for very different reasons.

Not in Aussie Showrooms… Yet

Now for the heartbreak. Zeekr’s local reps confirmed there’s no right-hand-drive 7GT for now. The brand says it’s “evaluating the market,” which in car PR language means, “If you scream loud enough, we might.” Given the reception it got at Sydney’s EV Show, there’s hope.

If Zeekr’s aim was to prove it can play in the same league as Porsche, Polestar, and Lucid — mission accomplished. The 7GT is that rare mix of elegance and engineering, the kind of car that makes even the loudest petrolheads go suspiciously quiet.

Final Thoughts

The Sydney EV Show was packed with the usual suspects — Teslas, BYDs, and a smattering of hopeful newcomers — but the Zeekr 7GT stood apart. It’s confident, cohesive, and completely unapologetic. Whether it ever hits Aussie roads or remains a tantalising tease, one thing’s clear: Zeekr has officially entered the global spotlight.
