Zeekr 8X Hybrid Review: The Chinese SUV That’s Shocking America | DriveX Gearly

Описание: Is this really red? 👀
Today we take a first studio look at the Zeekr 8X in Cloud-Breaking (Meteorite) Red—a color that shifts from red to purple and even looks black in low light. One paint, three personalities.

In this video, we break down why this might be the best-looking color Zeekr has ever made, using rare mineral pigments and a dual-layer coating that reveals fine metallic sparkle under studio lighting. This is also our first studio shoot of 2026, so we’re kicking off the year with something special.

We cover the full exterior design of the Zeekr 8X, including:
Front-end details and the world’s largest “breathing” grille
C-shaped ZELL headlights with DLP lighting tech
Side profile design and European-inspired proportions
Wheel options up to 22 inches and why the 8X leans sporty
Rear design differences vs the 9X
Five-seat vs six-seat layout and massive trunk potential

We also compare the Zeekr 8X vs 9X, explaining why the 8X isn’t just a smaller 9X—but a more performance-focused mid-to-large SUV. Despite its 5.1m length, the 8X emphasizes handling, enters the 2-second acceleration club, and uses a 2.0T hybrid setup with a 70 kWh battery, delivering over 400 km electric range and 1,400+ km total range.

👀 Bonus: This is currently the only red color left in Zeekr's entire lineup—a fun detail longtime fans might remember from the old Starry Red days.
