Is the Zeekr 001 Coming to Australia?

The Zeekr 001 is not confirmed for Australia yet, with right-hand-drive production tied to a next-generation model due late 2026, while the Zeekr 007 GT wagon is locked in for late 2026 or early 2027.

Will the Zeekr 001 Come to Australia?

Not in the near term. The current Zeekr 001 has only ever been made in left-hand drive, so there is no factory version Zeekr can ship to a right-hand-drive market like ours. That is the single biggest hurdle, and it is not one a local distributor can work around.

The better news is that a next-generation 001 is in development, and Zeekr has said right-hand-drive production is targeting a late 2026 debut. Nothing is signed for an Australian launch yet, so treat late 2026 as the earliest point worth watching rather than a promise. For a brand that only landed here in 2025 and is adding models quickly, the 001 fits the pattern, but the timing is still up in the air.

What Are the Zeekr 001's Specs and Price?

The 001 is Zeekr's flagship performance EV, a car that blends the size and comfort of a grand tourer with the punch of a performance sedan. The China 2026 version is seriously quick. These are the current figures from the Chinese market, which are the closest guide we have until a local car is confirmed.

The 001 sits on Geely's SEA platform, the same electric architecture under the Volvo EX30 and the Polestar 4, and the newest cars have moved to ultra-fast 800 and 900-volt charging. That CLTC range figure of 810km flatters the car a little, which is normal for the Chinese test cycle, so around 600km in WLTP terms is the more honest number to plan around.

The European reference price of roughly AU$65,000 is a useful anchor, but Australian pricing has not been set and local taxes, shipping, and specification all move that number. Take it as a ballpark, not a quote.

Which Zeekr Is Actually Confirmed for Australia?

The Zeekr 007 GT is the one that is locked in, and it will be sold here simply as the 7GT. It is a shooting brake, which is a low, sleek, fast wagon that blends the practicality of an estate with the profile and pace of a sports sedan. Local timing is firming up for late 2026 or early 2027, and Zeekr has said it is prioritising the 7GT as it pushes its range beyond SUVs. If you want the closest thing to a fast, spacious Zeekr without waiting on the 001, this is it.

Inside, the 7GT feels like a concept car someone actually built, with a panoramic glass roof, a clean digital cockpit, and materials that make you double-check the price. At that price and pace it lines up against the Tesla Model 3, the VW ID.7 Tourer, and the Hyundai Ioniq 6, and on paper it walks all over most of them. The AWD 7GT's 2.84-second 0-100km/h is within a whisker of the 001's, so most buyers chasing the 001 for outright speed will find the confirmed car already scratches that itch.

What Will the Zeekr 001 and 007 GT Cost in Australia?

Nothing is officially priced for Australia yet on either car, but there are solid reference points. In China the 007 GT starts from around 202,900 yuan, which converts to roughly AU$43,000 before tax. That will not translate one-to-one once the car is built in right-hand drive and shipped here, but the signals are good. Zeekr is positioning the 7GT as a more style-focused, more affordable option below the 7X, so a starting price under AU$63,900 plus on-road costs looks likely, with the AWD flagship climbing well into the $70,000s. For a sub-three-second wagon, that is strong value.

The 001 has no Australian pricing because it is not confirmed here yet. As a guide, it sells in Europe for around the equivalent of AU$65,000, so a right-hand-drive version would likely sit in similar premium-EV territory. Both numbers are anchors, not quotes, and local taxes and specification will shift them.

What Zeekr Models Can You Buy in Australia Right Now?

Zeekr is not a coming-soon brand here. It launched in 2025 and already has cars in driveways, with more confirmed. The 7X SUV alone passed 1,200 sales in 2026, which helped push Zeekr ahead of its Geely stablemates Volvo and Polestar on local sales.

So the practical picture is this: two SUVs and a people mover you can buy today, the 7GT wagon confirmed for late 2026 or early 2027, and the 001 sedan still a maybe for late 2026 at the earliest. A brand that is committed to the market this heavily means parts, service, software updates, and resale value all stack up better over time.

Thinking About Switching to a Zeekr?

If a Zeekr is on your shortlist, the smart move is to sort out your current car early so you are ready to buy when the model you want lands. Trade-in offers from a dealer taking your money on a new EV are rarely the strongest number, and the private-sale wait can drag on for weeks.
