Following its initial preview in Australia last month, Zeekr has just confirmed the price for its upcoming Zeekr X fully electric small SUV. It starts from $56,900.

Two variants are being offered in Australia, including a single motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) configuration and a twin motor AWD. Prices start from $56,900 and $64,900, respectively. Both feature a 66kWh battery capable of charging at 150kW with a DC plug, or 7.2kW with AC power for the RWD and 11kW for the AWD.

According to the ADR 81/02 consumption test cycle, the X offers a range of up to 540km for the RWD model and 470km for the AWD. Interestingly, these figures are higher than its platform-sharing cousin, the Volvo EX30 (480km and 460km, for the RWD and AWD models).

In terms of power and performance, the RWD model generates 200kW and 343Nm (just like the RWD EX30), and the AWD model produces 315kW and 543Nm (just like the EX30 AWD). Sprinting across 0-100km/h, the RWD takes a claimed 5.6 seconds and the AWD takes 3.8 seconds (up from 5.3 and 3.6 in the Volvo).
