Zeekr 007 GT Heads to Australia in Q4 as Global Shooting Brake Demand Climbs

Zeekr 007 GT Heads to Australia in Q4 as Global Shooting Brake Demand Climbs

Zeekr has confirmed that its 007 GT electric shooting brake will go on sale in Australia during the fourth quarter of 2026, marking the latest step in the brand’s push beyond its home market. The model, which is marketed as the Zeekr 7GT outside China, was shown publicly for the first time in Australia at the Sydney EV show. The premium marque under Geely Auto used its official Weibo channel to announce the timing, though it stopped short of revealing pricing, full specifications or a delivery schedule for Australian buyers.

The 007 GT has been steadily building an international footprint over the past year. It began European sales in January across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and by July was available in 16 countries including France, Italy and Spain. The Australian rollout would add another market to that list. First introduced in China in April 2025, the 007 GT is derived from the 007 electric sedan and stands as Zeekr’s second shooting brake following the 001.

In China, Zeekr refreshed both the 007 and 007 GT in April this year, giving them a 900-volt electrical architecture and charging rates of up to 6C. The company has not said whether Australian cars will carry those upgrades. The 007 GT also competes in a niche but growing segment: citing wholesale figures from the China Passenger Car Association, Zeekr says the model led global shooting brake sales in the first eight months of 2026. The company added that global deliveries of its shooting brake line stayed above 10,000 units in August, with cumulative sales across the range surpassing 400,000 — a figure that covers the whole family rather than the 007 GT alone.

The overseas expansion has coincided with a sharp rise in Zeekr’s overall deliveries. The brand moved 37,216 vehicles in September, up 103.85% year on year and its sixth consecutive monthly record. For the first nine months of 2026, deliveries reached 288,404 units, more than doubling from the same period a year earlier. That momentum gives Zeekr a stronger base from which to chase buyers in new regions, particularly in segments where electric estates and shooting brakes remain a relatively rare sight.

Questions remain about how the Australian version will be positioned. With no pricing or trim details yet, it is unclear whether Zeekr will bring the 900-volt, 6C-capable specification or a different configuration tuned for local conditions. What is clear is that the 007 GT is being used as a spearhead for the brand’s international ambitions, and Australia is the next stop on that map.
