Price is the primary factor consumers consider when purchasing a car.

The 2026 ZEEKR 7X, priced between 220,000 and 270,000 yuan, is positioned as a high-end intelligent SUV in the 200,000 yuan price range. Belonging to the mid-size and large-size electric SUV segment, it emphasizes "performance + intelligence + long range + comfort," targeting consumers with higher demands for quality, performance, and technology. It caters to daily commutes, family trips, and personal travel, and is also suitable for users seeking performance and a premium feel.
From the pricing, it's clear that the VOYAH Courage aims to be a "popularizer" in its segment, while the ZEEKR 7X strives to establish a high-end brand image.
