Geely's premium electric brand, founded in 2021 and based in Ningbo. Its cars use the SEA platform shared across the Geely group, and it holds a 51% stake in Lynk & Co. Europe has been a core market since the first showroom opened in Stockholm in 2023.
The Zeekr 001 is a large electric shooting brake and the car Geely's premium EV brand launched in Europe first. A 100 kWh battery is standard across the range, giving 620 km of WLTP range in rear-drive form, and the twin-motor versions make 400 kW. German prices start at EUR 59,990.
The Zeekr 7X is a midsize electric SUV built on an 800-volt system that charges from 10 to 80% in 13 minutes. Rear-drive versions make 310 kW and reach 615 km of WLTP range with the 100 kWh battery, while the twin-motor Privilege AWD makes 475 kW. German prices start at EUR 54,990.
The Zeekr X is a compact electric SUV and the smallest car Zeekr sells in Europe. A 2026 update grew the boot from 362 to 404 litres and lifted the 61 kWh version to 230 kW DC charging, or 10 to 80% in 18 minutes. German prices start at EUR 37,990 for the 200 kW Core RWD.
An Conghui, the new chairman of Geely Automobile, told the company's half-year results conference that from 2028 cars from the Geely Auto portfolio will be built at Volvo Cars' European plants.

Taycan sales dropped 22% in 2025 to 16,339 units, then a further 19% in Q1 2026. The Zuffenhausen factory has been running with intermittent shutdowns since early May.
SAIC-Volkswagen unveiled the second AUDI-brand production model at Beijing Auto Show - the E7X, a flagship electric SUV on a new 900V platform.
Zeekr was launched by Geely in March 2021 as the group’s premium electric brand, positioned above the core Geely marque and separate from Volvo and Polestar, which Geely Holding also controls. It is headquartered in Ningbo, in Zhejiang province, and its chief executive is An Conghui, who in August 2026 also became chairman of Geely Automobile.
Every Zeekr is built on SEA, the Sustainable Experience Architecture that Geely developed as a shared electric platform and that also underpins cars from Volvo, Polestar and Lynk & Co. The lineup runs from the compact X crossover through the 001 shooting brake, the 007 and 007 GT, the 7X SUV and the 009 MPV, with the 8X and 9X adding plug-in hybrid power at the top of the range. Zeekr delivered 224,133 cars in 2025.
Ownership has moved twice in quick succession. Zeekr bought 51% of Lynk & Co in February 2025, making it a subsidiary rather than a sibling, and in December 2025 Zeekr itself was taken private by Geely Automobile and delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after roughly 19 months as a listed company. The brand now sits inside Geely Auto alongside the Geely and Lynk & Co marques.
In China, Zeekr also runs its own fast-charging network through the Zeekr Power subsidiary. Europe has been treated as a core market rather than an export afterthought since 2023, when the first stores opened in Stockholm and Amsterdam. The brand now sells in around 13 European countries and runs its own stores rather than a franchised dealer network, with Italy, Spain and Portugal added during 2026.
