Zeekr 8X’s cabin leaked, interior reveals three‑spoke steering wheel in large SUV
Spy photographs of the Zeekr 8X interior have surfaced ahead of the model’s planned market introduction in the first quarter of 2026. The images, sourced from Autohome, show early-production interior details and confirm differences from the Zeekr 9X model. The 8X is built on Zeekr’s SEA‑S luxury hybrid architecture and is positioned as a sport‑oriented mid‑to‑large‑size SUV within the brand’s lineup.
The leaked interior images show the central control area covered with camouflage materials. An independent central screen is visible above the air conditioning outlets. The instrument screen appears embedded in the dashboard, with a layout similar to the Zeekr 9X. The centre console features grip handles on both sides, while the steering wheel features a three‑spoke design with a mode-selection knob, identical to that of the Zeekr 7X.
Additional details indicate the vehicle’s second row will feature two individual seats. Diamond-pattern stitching is visible on the seats, and automotive media reports that the production-ready interior may be configured with a six‑seat layout, consistent with Zeekr’s positioning as a larger passenger-vehicle brand in the domestic market.
Zeekr has not officially released technical specifications for the 8X. Earlier reports indicate the model may adopt a plug‑in hybrid powertrain combining a 2.0‑litre turbocharged engine with dual electric motors, producing approximately 400 kW and offering more than 400 kilometres of electric‑only range under CLTC. These figures remain unconfirmed and are based on media speculation.
The spy images also show exterior styling that differs from the Zeekr 9X, while still following the brand’s design language, including a vertical slat grille. Large five‑spoke wheels and visible red brake callipers also suggest a performance-oriented aesthetic.
Rear exterior details remain unclear in the images. Automotive media suggest the production model could include a full-width taillight layout and a roof-mounted spoiler, but these remain unverified.
Domestic sources report that pricing for the Zeekr 8X may start at around 400,000 yuan, equivalent to approximately 56,580 USD at current exchange rates. Zeekr will confirm final pricing at launch.
