July 8th, 2026, HANGZHOU— ZEEKR 7GT, a premium model under Geely Auto Group, has been awarded the five-star safety rating in the Euro NCAP’s (European New Car Assessment Programme) 2026 assessment protocol, becoming one of the first vehicles to successfully navigate these revised and more demanding safety standards, particularly notable for Post-Crash Safety(95%) and Crash Protection (93%).

The recognition is driven by Geely Auto Group's core philosophy of putting user safety first, backed by a comprehensive safety ecosystem that spans R&D, validation, manufacturing, and the full product lifecycle. Empowered by AI-driven innovations, Geely has secured top marks in over 80 prestigious global safety evaluations.

To support this global safety strategy, Geely continues to invest in safety R&D and expanded to five global testing clusters with 16 bases, including the Geely Europe Testing Base in Frankfurt and the world’s largest Geely Comprehensive Safety Testing Center. For the Zeekr 7GTassessment, more than 70 supporting technical reports were submitted to Euro NCAP. These materials helped demonstrate that the vehicle’s safety performance was robust and repeatable across a range of operating conditions, rather than being limited to individual test scenarios.

In the electric vehicle sector, Geely has engineered a multi-dimensional testing matrix for battery safety under extreme operational scenarios, consistently raising the bar for product safety redundancy. Beyond its internal metrics, Geely actively opens its core safety patents and technical resources to the broader industry, fostering collaborative innovation and elevating collective safety standards across the global automotive sector.

With the inclusion of the Zeekr 7GT, Geely Auto Group’s brands now have nine models that have earned five-star Euro NCAP ratings—including the Geely E5, Geely Starray EM-i, Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, Lynk & Co 02, Lynk & Co 01, and Zeekr 7X, Zeekr X and Zeekr 001. Complemented by four ANCAP five-star models and eight ASEAN NCAP certified vehicles, Geely’s consistent high performance across major global rating systems underscores its consistent safety performance across diverse brands, product lines, and regional markets. By accelerating advanced safety innovation, Geely intends to drive sustainable development for the automotive industry while creating safer, smarter, and more trustworthy mobility experiences for global users.
