The new vehicle is available in 4 trim levels with a retail price range of 356,800–500,800 RMB, and a limited-time launch price of 329,800–473,800 RMB.Built on the SEA-S Super E-PHEV Architecture with a 900V high-voltage platform, it is positioned as a mid-to-large plug-in hybrid SUV, offering a maximum CLTC pure electric range of 410 km.The four variants — Max, Ultra, Ultra+, and Yaoying — form a clear gradient in core aspects such as powertrain and intelligent features.
How should you choose the right trim for the Zeekr 8X?This article visually presents the configuration hierarchy of all models in image form, along with our buying recommendations.
I. What Are the Core Differences Between the Four Trims?
First, range is the top concern for PHEV buyers.The entry-level model already delivers 320 km of pure electric range.For those with long daily city commutes, the Ultra+ is the top pick, with an outstanding 410 km pure electric range.
The 900V high-voltage architecture is standard across the lineup, enabling a 20%–80% charge in just 9 minutes.The base model comes with dual-motor AWD and a 0–100 km/h acceleration in 3.7 seconds.
For performance enthusiasts, the range-topping Yaoying is a must-have:
0–100 km/h in 2.96 seconds
Carbon fiber aerodynamic kit
Dedicated Boost acceleration button
Integrated sport seats
Flagship Qianli Haohan H9 advanced driver-assistance system
If you prioritize intelligent features, go straight for the Ultra trim.It is the first level equipped with:
17-inch 3K rear overhead screen
16-inch 3.5K front passenger screen
Streaming media rearview mirror
Dual 8295 vehicle chipset
II. The Entry Trim Is Already Well-Equipped
Notably, the Zeekr 8X comes standard with 5 seats; 6-seat layout is optional.
The entry model already boasts premium standard features, including:
29 speakers
NAPPA leather seats
Heating, ventilation, memory, and massage for front and second-row seats
Power suction doors
Qianli Haohan H7 ADAS
900V high-voltage architecture
6C charging rate
All-wheel drive
Closed dual-chamber air suspension
Adaptive all-terrain driving modes
Run-flat tire control system
At the limited-time price of 329,800 RMB, the base model is already highly compelling.
III. Key Optional Configurations
For the Yaoying edition, the brand offers several official optional packages, and individual configurations can also be selected separately for personalization.
Official packages include:
Yaoye Appearance Package for a more aggressive exterior look
Option to substitute higher-level equipment with standard specs for a price reduction
For example, replacing the Qianli Haohan H9 with H7 on the Yaoying trim reduces the price by 25,000 RMB.
Appearance upgrade packages covering body colors and exterior performance parts
Editor’s Comments
Personally, the Max trim at 329,800 RMB (limited time) is more than sufficient.The front passenger screen and overhead display are nice for long trips to kill time, but not essential for me.The entry trim is already fully loaded and is the clear first choice.
Ultra: Ideal for frequent long-distance drivers, thanks to its multi-screen setup.
Ultra+: Best suited for users with long daily urban commutes.
Yaoying: Delivers impressive performance and styling, though many of its highlights can also be achieved via optional upgrades.
