On January 22, 2025, Zeekr proudly announced that the Zeekr X, a compact luxury SUV, has earned the Euro NCAP’s Best in Class Award for both Small SUVs and Pure Electric Vehicles. This accolade strengthens the Zeekr X’s reputation as the safest and most innovative car tested by Euro NCAP in 2024.
The Best in Class award is based on the combined scores from the four key areas of Euro NCAP’s assessment. The Zeekr X performed exceptionally well in all categories, scoring: • Adult Occupant Protection: 91% • Child Occupant Protection: 90% • Vulnerable Road User Protection: 84% • Safety Assist: 83%
Advanced Safety-Focused Technology Built as a compact luxury SUV on the cutting-edge Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) designed for pure EVs, the Zeekr X prioritizes safety, meeting global 5-star safety standards. It offers superior protection with its durable 720-degree safety body structure. A key feature is the threshold anti-collision beam, which includes a three-layer “8-tube” energy absorption system with sealed compartments, allowing the vehicle to endure side impacts up to 65 tons (636 kN).
In the Euro NCAP tests, the Zeekr X’s Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system distinguished itself with its exceptional speed and effectiveness in responding to potential hazards. The system quickly detects vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other vehicles, ensuring a swift reaction that helps prevent accidents. This advanced AEB system plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall safety of the vehicle, offering a high level of protection for both the driver and other road users.
Additionally, the Zeekr X is equipped with a comprehensive safety assistance system that detects and avoids potential dangers from all directions. This system constantly monitors the vehicle’s surroundings, identifying possible risks before they become threats. In doing so, it helps to mitigate accidents by taking proactive measures to avoid collisions, while also reducing the likelihood of human error. The vehicle also features a driving assistance function that monitors the car’s speed in real-time, ensuring that the driver remains within safe speed limits and helping to prevent speeding-related accidents.
Beyond everyday driving scenarios, the Zeekr X demonstrated its impressive ability to maintain occupant safety in extreme and unforeseen conditions, such as submersion in water. In the event that the vehicle loses power while submerged, its doors remain operable for up to two minutes, allowing passengers a window of opportunity to exit the car safely. Furthermore, the electric windows continue to function long enough to provide enough time for the occupants to escape, offering a remarkable level of safety even in the most challenging and dangerous situations. This ensures that the Zeekr X is not only a cutting-edge vehicle in terms of technology and design but also excels in its ability to protect occupants under a wide range of emergency conditions.
