AUTOSPORTS has opened two new Zeekr dealerships in South Yarra and Doncaster in inner Melbourne, concurrent with the first Australian deliveries of the brand’s third model in Australia, the Zeekr 7X.

Zeekr is part of the Geely Group of brands which includes existing Autosport Group brands; Volvo Cars, Polestar, Geely and Zeekr.

Autosports said that in the 12 months since Zeekr started sales in Australia, the premium EV brand has made “an extraordinary impact: launching three models and achieving strong sales momentum”.

It said that more than 2500 Australians have pre-ordered the Zeekr 7X electric SUV ahead of local deliveries.

“The first 1000 deposits for Zeekr’s third model in Australia, its debut midsize SUV, were secured within just seven days of orders opening last month,” it said.

Zeekr Australia managing director Frank Li said: “Seeing our customers take delivery of their Zeekr 7X for the first time represents more than just the handover of a car, it’s a moment of connection and shared excitement.”Sales to the year ending October 31 show that Zeekr has sold 946 units; 231 for the 7X; 611 for the X; and 104 sales of the 009.

Zeekr in November 2024 announced the first four dealerships in its network as part of its expansion across Australia.

It said that its dealer network was being established with the focus on “the right teams” to deliver “the quality, innovation and service that define the Zeekr experience”.

In NSW, SCL Automotive will run the dealership Zeekr Parramatta. 

Subsequently, Zeekr has added dealerships and now has 12 outlets (five being pop-ups) in Australia.
