For Child Occupant Protection, the Zeekr X achieved an impressive 90%. The vehicle was awarded maximum points for its crash performance in protecting child occupants. It is equipped with Isofix and i-Size seating positions, ensuring proper installation of child restraints. Additionally, the Zeekr X includes a child presence detection system, which issues a warning if a child is left unattended in the car.

In the Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) Protection category, the Zeekr X earned an 84% score, thanks to its autonomous emergency braking system and cyclist "dooring" prevention. Pedestrian head protection was generally good, with some minor weaknesses near the windshield.

The vehicle’s speed assistance system ensures compliance with local speed limits, while a comprehensive seatbelt reminder system is standard for all seating positions.

The Zeekr X which was recently launched in Malaysia is available in two variants, the single-motor 268HP X Premium priced at RM155,800 and dual-motor 422HP X Flagship at RM172,800.
