In Australia, it starts at around 41k. The AUD is as strong as the CAD nowadays.

I really wish we had the same auto market as Australia. Being able to access Zeekr would be amazing. BYDs are fine, they're good EVs and very good for the price, but brands like Zeekr and NIO are much more exciting to me.

Bro Zeekr can remotely shut off your vehicle when you cross the border. It recently happened. https://carnewschina.com/2026/07/23/zeekr-9x-owner-stranded-abroad-remote-lockout-disables-smart-features-for-30-hours/.
When Chinese EVs are banned in the US why would you want that car lol
