The SUV '7X' (European name: 7GT) of ZEEKR, a premium electric vehicle brand under China's Geely Automobile Holdings, has achieved the highest rating of '5 Stars' in the latest tests of the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP).

In this evaluation, ZEEKR 7X delivered excellent results across all four key categories, demonstrating high overall safety. Particularly in the 'Crash Protection' category, which directly safeguards passengers, it achieved a high score of 93%. It provided good protection performance for all occupants during frontal collisions and received a perfect score in rear-seat child mannequin tests. The side-impact test also recorded a perfect score, proving its robust body design by including the ability to prevent passenger-to-passenger collisions via center airbags.

In the 'Post Crash Safety' category, which assesses post-accident response capabilities, it received a top-tier score of 95%. The manual door handles that assist in rapid vehicle evacuation functioned normally even after all collision tests, allowing doors to be opened, and the provision of rescue information (Rescue Sheet) drew high praise.

The 'Crash Avoidance' category, covering advanced safety devices, recorded 89%. The standard-equipped Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) successfully passed difficult scenarios, and the 'Dooring Prevention System,' which prevents collisions with approaching bicycles from behind, operated smoothly.

In contrast, the 'Safe Driving' category scored 79%, lower than other categories. While the monitoring system that detects driver fatigue and the Child Presence Detection (CPD) function inside the vehicle passed, it was noted that major control functions such as infotainment and climate control were overly concentrated on the central screen. Euro NCAP places higher value on the installation of intuitive physical buttons. Additionally, insufficient head protection performance in the event of a pedestrian collision was identified as an area for improvement.
