Zeekr Begins Retail Sales in Spain With 001 Available and 7X Launched

A distribution pact with Salvador Caetano Auto and a plan to cover roughly 83% of Spain by year‑end position the Chinese‑built, Sweden‑designed brand to challenge Tesla and premium German rivals

Overview

  • Zeekr started selling cars in Spain in late May, with the Zeekr 001 already on dealer lots and listed from about €60,175 for the Long Range RWD trim.
  • The Zeekr 7X is being introduced with three confirmed trims, published prices (from roughly €52,500), an 800‑volt electrical architecture, and a manufacturer claim of 10%–80% charging in about 13 minutes.
  • The Zeekr 001 carries a single 100 kWh battery, has a five‑star Euro NCAP rating, and offers variants from a 272‑hp single‑motor Long Range to a 544‑hp Performance AWD that does 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.
  • Zeekr will sell through the Salvador Caetano Auto group and says it aims to expand dealer coverage to roughly 83% of Spain by the end of 2026, including the Balearic and Canary Islands.
  • Launched by Geely in 2021 and designed in Gothenburg using the SEA platform, Zeekr’s rapid international push and aggressive pricing create a new, lower‑priced premium option for Spanish EV buyers and may pressure charging and service networks.
