Zikr 003 is expected to be officially revealed in full details this coming April at the Shanghai Auto Show, and according to the manufacturer, marketing will begin in Europe in the first half of the year.
Although the Zikar brand is not yet marketed in Israel, it is known about several importers who are in talks to obtain the import franchise.
As of today, Geely's car brands are represented by several importers in Israel: Union Motors markets the "Geometry" division (the electric car sold in Israel last year), EV Motors markets the LEVC - the electric London taxi, the 'Meir' group markets the Link & Ko and Calmobile owns the Smart brand that was recently purchased by Geely.
