Zeekr Australia is still weighing up bringing the youth-oriented Lynk & Co brand to Australia despite abandoning previous plans to launch it locally as soon as 2026. 

Predominantly sold in Europe and China, Lynk & Co makes hybrid and electric vehicles (EV) and shares technology with brands including Volvo, Polestar and Zeekr – all part of the Geely group. 

Lynk & Co became a subsidiary of Zeekr in late 2024 – around the same time Zeekr launched in Australia – after the brand was established by Volvo and Geely almost a decade ago. 

Initial plans to launch the Lynk & Co brand here in 2026 to be sold alongside Zeekr – sharing the same sales, servicing and parts network – were shelved earlier this year as the company chose to focus on the Zeekr brand here.

At the launch of its third model locally, the Zeekr 7X mid-size SUV, Zeekr’s local boss Frank Li told CarExpert Lynk & Co is still on the cards for Australia. 

“This is still under discussion,” Mr Li said. 

“This market is very open to every brand, so, Lynk & Co definitely has very good potential in this market.”

The Lynk & Co 08 – a large SUV offering hybrid power – has been tipped to lead the brand’s local launch, given the popularity of SUVs in Australia. 

Earlier this year, however, Mr Li ruled out bringing the small Z20 electric SUV here due to concerns it would overlap with the Zeekr X.
