A right-hand-drive Zeekr 7GT has been photographed in Australia for the first time, ahead of first customer deliveries scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The images, posted by the Zeekr 7GT Australia Facebook group, show the electric sports wagon in Newcastle, New South Wales, apparently in Performance AWD specification.
It is the first right-hook example seen locally. Zeekr previously displayed the 7GT in left-hand drive at the Everything Electric show in Sydney in September 2026. Local pricing has not been announced, and no official 7GT sales appeared in October's sales data.
How to tell it is the Performance AWD
The giveaways are the larger 20-inch forged alloy wheels and orange brake calipers, both fitted as standard to the flagship 7GT. Performance AWD is the highest of the three variants Zeekr Australia has confirmed for the local line-up.
With deliveries not due until early 2027, the car in Newcastle may be an evaluation vehicle rather than a customer car.
The confirmed range starts with a rear-drive version
Zeekr Australia has confirmed the line-up opens with a rear-wheel-drive, single-motor 7GT producing 335kW and 520Nm, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 5.2 seconds on 19-inch wheels. It uses a 75kWh lithium iron phosphate battery with a claimed WLTP range of 525km. A Long Range RWD variant sits above it in the three-tier range.
The five-seat 7GT measures 4817mm long, 1910mm wide and 1456mm high on a 2900mm wheelbase, with 456 litres of boot space that grows to 1390L with the rear seatbacks folded.
Where it fits in Australia
The 7GT will be Zeekr's fourth model locally, alongside the X and 7X electric SUVs and the 009 people mover. As an electric sports wagon it is a distinctive proposition, and it could be cross-shopped against the Tesla Model 3 sedan.
Zeekr Australia has priced its existing models aggressively against Tesla: the 7X SUV starts at $57,900 before on-road costs, $1000 below the cheapest Tesla Model Y. The Model 3 range opens at $45,900 before on-road costs and tops out at $80,900 plus on-roads for the Performance.
The 7GT will not have the electric sports wagon field to itself. The Denza Z9 GT, from BYD's premium brand, is confirmed for a 2027 Australian launch, and the Exlantix ES GT from Chery may also arrive here with an electric powertrain. The BMW i5 Touring and Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo are alternative comparisons, though both start above $200,000, well clear of where the Zeekr is expected to sit.
The obvious question for buyers is price, and Zeekr Australia has not announced it. The 7X comparison is the best guide to intent rather than a figure: the brand has shown it will undercut Tesla, so a 7GT positioned near or below the Model 3's upper grades would fit the pattern. Nothing firmer has been confirmed.
What is still unknown
Beyond pricing, Zeekr Australia has not published local specifications for the Long Range RWD or the Performance AWD, including their battery sizes, range figures and outputs. The 525km WLTP claim applies to the base rear-drive variant only.
