Zeekr announced its arrival in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on Thursday, adding four northern European markets in a row for the Geely-owned premium electric brand.
Zeekr Europe announced the entries in four separate “Hello” posts on its official LinkedIn account on September 24.
The posts did not list models, prices or delivery dates.
Thursday’s announcements came three days after Zeekr entered Poland and Austria with five models: the X, 001, 7X, 7GT and 9X.
Those twin launches brought Zeekr’s European tally to about 18 markets by EV‘s count, up from a core group of 16 that Zeekr Europe listed as recently as July.
Zeekr France said in September releases that Zeekr Europe was already present in 22 countries, before Poland, Austria and the four new markets.
Local Partners
None of the four posts named an importer or distributor.
In at least two of the markets, local partners had already been announced.
Mūsa Motors Rīga became Zeekr’s official representative in Latvia in August, with a showroom at Skanstes iela 33 in Riga, Kursors.lv reported on August 12.
The Latvian importer lists the X from €35,200 ($40,100) and the 7GT from €46,558 ($53,000), with the 9X due in early 2027.
In Lithuania, Vilnius-based dealer group Sostena, which already sells Geely’s Lynk & Co brand, operates Zeekr’s local website, with the X listed from €39,100 ($44,500).
Finnish EV site Evuutiset listed the 7X Long Range AWD at €55,200 ($62,800) from a Finnish importer as of August 1, without naming it.
No partner has been identified for Estonia.
The same sequence, with partners named before the brand’s own welcome posts, applied in Poland and Austria.
In Poland, Portuguese group Salvador Caetano Auto signed a distribution agreement that its Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Global Automotive Distribution, Sérgio Ribeiro, confirmed on September 11.
The deal took the Portuguese group into a third European market for Zeekr, after Portugal and Spain.
Hungary-listed AutoWallis serves as joint partner for Poland and sole importer for Austria.
AutoWallis announced on September 2 that both markets would open in the fourth quarter.
Salvador Caetano’s Iberian mandate dates to February, when Zeekr expanded into Spain and Portugal.
Their agreement establishes a dedicated sales and after-sales network.
Zeekr Europe Chief Executive Lothar Schupet said in AutoWallis’s September 2 release that the brand is seeking partners with strong market expertise and a proven track record in automotive distribution as expansion continues.
Lineup and the Missing 8X
The Latvian and Lithuanian importers list the X, 001, 7X, 7GT and 9X, mirroring the offer in Poland and Austria.
Zeekr’s 001 shooting brake and X crossover were both introduced in Europe in June 2023, followed by the 7X midsize SUV in December 2024.
The 7X went on sale in Europe from €52,990 ($60,300).
Zeekr launched the 7GT grand tourer in January, opening order books in at least 12 European markets including Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Belgium, with European deliveries scheduled from July.
Zeekr markets the same car in China as the 007 GT.
Zeekr unveiled the 9X for Europe on July 29 as its first extended-range model on the continent.
European reservations opened on August 11 for a first batch of 200 cars at a €1,000 refundable deposit, with Zeekr’s reservation terms giving an initial delivery period of December 2026 to February 2027.
Zeekr’s 8X is again absent.
AutoWallis had listed the model among six for Poland and Austria, but Zeekr Europe’s own posts named five.
Zeekr Europe later told EV that the 8X had been included in AutoWallis’s release by mistake and would not come to Europe for now.
Geely Auto Group Chief Executive Officer Gan Jiayue said in April that the 8X’s overseas rollout would begin in the fourth quarter and run into the first quarter of 2027.
Tariff Exposure
Four of the five models sold in the new markets are fully electric and made in China.
Those models fall under the EU’s countervailing duties on Chinese-made battery electric vehicles, which impose an additional 18.8% tariff on Geely-group BEVs on top of the standard 10% import duty.
As an extended-range vehicle, the 9X remains subject only to the standard 10% rate.
All four new markets are EU member states and apply the same duty structure as Poland and Austria.
European Footprint
Zeekr entered Europe in 2023 through Sweden and the Netherlands, opening pre-orders in June and starting deliveries in December, and has since added markets across the Nordics, Benelux, Southern Europe and the Balkans.
Finland joins Sweden, Norway and Denmark as the brand’s Nordic markets. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are the brand’s first official Baltic markets.
Lithuania borders Poland, which Zeekr announced on Monday.
Zeekr Europe has said the United Kingdom is a planned 2026 market, with first deliveries expected in early 2027.
Ownership of the brand shifted last year. Geely Auto absorbed Zeekr and delisted it from New York on December 22, 2025.
Record Deliveries Back the Push
Zeekr’s European expansion comes alongside sustained growth in global volumes.
The brand delivered 36,981 vehicles in August, a fifth consecutive monthly record and a 109.8% increase from August 2025.
July reached 35,837 units, June 35,169 and May 34,377, each a record at the time.
Year-to-date through August, Zeekr delivered 251,188 vehicles, a 100.4% increase on the same period in 2025.
The eight-month total already surpasses the brand’s full-year 2025 figure of 224,133 units.
Zeekr’s 7X passed 200,000 cumulative units in early September.
Adding this year’s deliveries to the 642,889 the brand reported through the end of 2025 gives cumulative deliveries of about 894,000 by the end of August, since the first cars rolled off the line in late 2021.
