XPeng G9
ZEEKR 7X

If you crave sharp handling and a headline-grabbing design, the 001 is your ticket; if you need room for kids, kit and everyday usability, the 7X is the smarter, less theatrical choice. Both deliver class-leading electric tech, so it boils down to whether you want to thrill the driver or save the day for the family — either way, you’ll look good doing it.

ZEEKR 7X
VS
