What we know about Zeekr coming to Burnaby
Rollout plan: Zeekr's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Burnaby sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. British Columbia is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the 001 is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Zeekr 001 must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Burnaby pricing: Estimated at $50,000 CAD with no provincial rebate currently available in British Columbia. See the full Zeekr 001 price breakdown for Burnaby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Zeekr 001 in Burnaby right now?
No. As of 2026, the Zeekr 001 — like all Chinese-built EVs — is not yet on sale in Canada.

When is the Zeekr 001 release date in Burnaby?
Burnaby falls into the first wave (secondary) of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026 to early 2027.

Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by Zeekr.
Can I import a Zeekr 001 to Burnaby myself before launch?
Privately importing a new Zeekr 001 into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax.
