How to check Zeekr 7X software and prepare for an OTA update
Check the export car’s installed version before comparing a feature with a Chinese forum screenshot. Version numbers and available functions need not match between markets.
Checked against the official European English MY2025 7X online manual on 27 October 2026. China-market apps, hardware and OTA versions differ. Match your car’s display and equipment; the Chinese report supplies context, while the manufacturer manual supplies the procedure.
Open General → System to view the installed version. Install an offered update only when the car is empty, locked, connected to a network and has at least 20% battery.
Chinese owner report: context, not a diagnosis
The owner describes the rear-camera display layout changing after China-market software 7.2.3. This is an individual report or discussion, not evidence of a widespread defect. The checks below concern the European export car; they do not establish what caused the Chinese owner’s symptom.
Before you start
Choose a time when you will not need the vehicle. It cannot be used during installation, and installation time varies with the update.
Follow the export-car controls
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
Check the result
After starting an update from inside, exit and lock the car. After the initial cancellation period the car cannot be unlocked until completion. Do not assume a China 7.2.3 tutorial or a promised rollback applies to export software; use the car’s own offer and local support.
Common questions
Does a China software number prove I am missing an update?+
No. Compare the version with Zeekr’s support for your market and vehicle.
Can I sit in the car during installation?+
The manual requires no people or animals inside and says the car is unusable during the update.
