Four months after sharing a first look at a new GT shooting brake variant of its all-electric 007 sedan, ZEEKR has officially launched the 7GT in China, with initial deliveries to follow in less than a week. As shown in ZEEKR’s images below, this sporty GT variant was designed with several comfort features and impressive tech, including a fast-charging 800V platform and zippy acceleration.
Our first look at the ZEEKR 007GT, which stands for “Grand Tour” came in early January 2025, when the young Chinese automaker shared three images on its Weibo page, hailing it as its second shooting brake BEV (alongside its flagship 001 model).
From the images, it was easy to tell that the 7GT shooting brake was designed as a sportier hatchback version of ZEEKR’s 007 sedan launched in China over a year ago.
At that time, we didn’t know any performance specs or pricing for the ZEEKR 007GT, but we did learn it would be sold globally and called the 7GT in overseas markets outside of China. ZEEKR CEO and Geely President Andy An said that ZEEKR intended to launch the 007 GT shooting brake in Q2 of 2025.

Here we are in the early days of Q2, and ZEEKR has made good on its promise, launching the 007GT (7GT) in China. Deliveries are set to begin five days from now. We also have performance specs and starting pricing!
ZEEKR 7GT to begin deliveries in China April 20, 2025
Supercar performance, wagon practicality, shooting brake styling.The EV that does everything.
That’s how ZEEKR described its new 7GT shooting brake in a press release following its official launch in China this evening. The automaker’s latest variant focuses on power, practicality, and luxury implemented within its minimalist “Hidden Energy” design philosophy.
As a BEV sub-brand under the Geely umbrella, the ZEEKR 7GT sits atop its parent company’s 800V SEA architecture. The standard range variant features a 75 kWh pack with LFP cells that delivers up to 650 km (404 miles) CLTC range and can charge from 10% to 80% in an impressive 10.5 minutes on a DC fast charger.
ZEEKR is also launching a long-range version of the 7GT powered by a 100 kWh NMC pack that delivers up to 825 km (513 miles) of all-electric range. The shooting brake is propelled by two silicon carbide-powered electric motors that can accelerate from 0-100 km/hr (0-62 mph) in 2.95 seconds (from a rolling start scenario). Here are some additional specs:
Length: 4,864mm
Width: 1,900mm
Height:1,460mm
Wheelbase: 2,925mm
Trunk storage capacity: 645 liters
Capacity with rear seats folded: 1,737liters
Interior features include NAPPA full-grain leather; all seats have heating, ventilation, and spa-grade massage settings. On the dash, the BEV’s infotainment system is powered by a Qualcomm 8295 chipset.
Per ZEEKR, the 7GT arrives with a sensor suite of dual-Nvidia Orin-X SoC, lidar, high-definition cameras, and millimeter-wave radars to support smart assist ADAS with computing redundancies and enable the automaker’s new G-Pilot H7 autonomous driving capabilities.
Customers who order a ZEEKR 7GT can choose from nine exterior colors and four interior combinations. The 7GT shooting brake starts at RMB 202,900 ($27,615) and will be making its way to customers in China five days from now before expanding to other global markets sometime in the future.

Shares of U.S. rare earth miners surged in early trading Monday, after President Donald Trump threatened China with retaliation over its strict export controls.
Trump on Friday threatened China with a “massive” increase in tariffs in retaliation for Beijing imposing strict export controls on rare earth elements. The president then dialed down his rhetoric on Sunday, saying the situation with China will “be fine.”
The Defense Department, meanwhile, is accelerating its effort to stockpile $1 billion worth of critical minerals, according to The Financial Times.
And JPMorgan Chase said Monday it would invest up to $10 billion in companies that are crucial to U.S. national security.
“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing — all of which are essential for our national security,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in press release.
Rare earths are a subset of critical minerals that are crucial inputs in U.S. weapons platforms, robotics, electric vehicles and other applications.

Shares of Bloom Energy surged Monday after striking a deal with Brookfield to deploy fuel cells for artificial intelligence data centers.
Brookfield will spend up to $5 billion to deploy Bloom Energy’s technology, the first investment in its strategy to support big AI data centers with power and computing infrastructure.
Shares of Bloom Energy were up more than 30% in early trading. Bloom’s fuel cells provide onsite power that can be deployed quickly because they do not rely on the electric grid.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC last week that the AI industry will need to build power off the electric to meet demand quickly and protect consumers from rising electricity prices.
“Data center self-generated power could move a lot faster than putting it on the grid and we have to do that,” Huang told CNBC on Oct. 8.

JPMorgan Chase on Monday said it is launching a decade-long plan to help finance and take direct stakes in companies it considers crucial to U.S. interests.
The bank said in a statement it would invest up to $10 billion into companies in four areas: defense and aerospace, “frontier” technologies including AI and quantum computing, energy technology including batteries, and supply chain and advanced manufacturing.
The money is part of a broader effort, dubbed the Security and Resiliency Initiative, in which JPMorgan said it will finance or facilitate $1.5 trillion in funding for companies it identifies as crucial. It said the total amount is 50% more than a previous plan.
“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing — all of which are essential for our national security,” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in the release.
As the biggest American bank by assets and a Wall Street juggernaut, JPMorgan was already raising funds and lending money to companies in those industries. But the move helps organize the company’s activities around national interests at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and China.
On Friday, markets tumbled as President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Chinese imports after the major U.S. trading partner tightened export controls on rare earths.
In the release, Dimon said that the U.S. needs to “remove obstacles” including excessive regulations, “bureaucratic delay” and “partisan gridlock.”
JPMorgan said that within the four major areas, there were 27 specific industries it would look to support with advice, financing and investments. That includes areas as diverse as nanomaterials, autonomous robots, spacecraft and space launches, and nuclear and solar power.
“Our security is predicated on the strength and resiliency of America’s economy,” Dimon said. “This new initiative includes efforts like ensuring reliable access to life-saving medicines and critical minerals, defending our nation, building energy systems to meet AI-driven demand and advancing technologies like semiconductors and data centers.”
The bank said it would hire an unspecified numbers of bankers and create an external advisory council to support its initiative.
