Zeekr

China exported 7.3 million vehicles in eight months, disrupting global and Israeli markets with high-tech luxury models at aggressive prices, threatening European brands despite recent massive safety recalls.

Zeekr launched the 7GT electric sedan in Israel with three trims, offering up to 655 km range. The base model starts at 191,990 NIS, challenging the Tesla Model 3.

Investigators estimate that the driver of the Zeekr, who perished in the incident, reached speeds of 100 km/h before hitting a concrete wall. Fire and Rescue Services confirmed that the fire was caused by the high-impact collision, ruling out a lithium battery failure.
