Zeekr reported a significant drop in deliveries for January, continuing a trend seen among various local electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers impacted by seasonal factors.
The company delivered 11,942 vehicles in January, marking a 4.75 percent decline compared to 12,537 units in the same month last year. Deliveries were also down 56.08 percent from 27,190 units in December.

Despite the monthly decline, Zeekr’s cumulative deliveries reached 430,698 vehicles by the end of January. The company attributes the drop to the seasonal dip in the Chinese auto market, especially during the Chinese New Year period, which typically results in lower sales early in the year. This year’s Chinese New Year holiday, spanning from January 28 to February 4, contributed to the lower sales figures.
Zeekr, founded in March 2021, has introduced several models, including the Zeekr 001 shooting brake, Zeekr 007 sedan, Zeekr 009 MPV, Zeekr X compact SUV, Zeekr 7X SUV, and the Zeekr Mix minivan.

The company also previewed its upcoming Zeekr 007 GT, a new shooting brake model. Despite the drop in January deliveries, Zeekr’s presence in the market continues to grow as it diversifies its electric vehicle offerings.
The company’s performance in January mirrors the broader trend in the Chinese EV market, where other manufacturers, such as Nio, Leapmotor, and Xpeng, also reported mixed delivery results for the month.
