The Zeekr 8X (Chinese: 极氪8X; pinyin: Jíkè 8X) is a plug-in hybrid full-size luxury SUV to be produced by Zeekr. After being officially teased and confirmed, the Zeekr 8X was revealed through official documents on 8 January 2026. It is the brand's second plug-in hybrid vehicle, following the larger 9X.^[1]

Overview

The 8X uses Zeekr's design language also used in the 9X and 009, featuring a large waterfall-grille in the front available in chrome or body color, split headlight design and a dual-layer taillight design.

It shares its 275 hp (205 kW; 279 PS) 2.0-liter inline-four turbocharged engine with the 9X, as well as the SEA Hybrid (Haohan Hybrid) system which is expected to use a 70 kWh battery back for exceptional range and fast charging.^[2]^[3]

The Zeekr 8X entered pre-sales in China in March 2026 as a plug-in hybrid full-size luxury SUV positioned below the larger 9X. It is offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and either dual- or triple-motor electric powertrains, with the highest-output version rated at 1,030 kW (1,381 hp). The model measures 5,100 mm in length with a 3,069 mm wheelbase, and reported battery options include 55.1 kWh and 70 kWh packs.^[4]
