BRUSSELS: The Zeekr X compact luxury SUV, has been awarded the Euro NCAP’s prestigious Best in Class Award for Small SUV and Pure Electric Vehicles (EVs).
In a statement, Zeekr said, "This recognition solidifies the Zeekr X’s position as the safest and most innovative vehicle tested by Euro NCAP in 2024."
The Best in Class award is determined by the weighted sum of the scores in each of the four areas of the Euro NCAP assessment.
The Zeekr X excelled in Adult Occupant Protection (91%), Child Occupant Protection (90%), Vulnerable Road User Protection (84%) and Safety Assist (83%).
The Zeekr X is built Geely Auto's Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) for pure EVs.
According to Zeekr, the threshold anti-collision beam features a three-layer "8-tube" energy absorption structure with airtight compartments, enabling the vehicle to withstand side impacts of up to 65 tonnes.
In Euro NCAP tests, Zeekr X’s Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system stands out for its quick reactions, detecting and responding to both vulnerable road users and other vehicles.
Moreover, its safety assistance function detects and avoids potential dangers from all directions while mitigating violations, and its driving assistance function monitors speed in real-time.
Additionally, the Zeekr X demonstrated its capability in extreme situations such as submersion in water.
If the vehicle loses power while submerged, its doors remain operable for up to two minutes, and electric windows stay functional long enough to allow occupants to escape.
