Zeekr Group said on Monday it delivered 44,843 vehicles in August, up 10.6% from a year earlier and 1.5% higher than July, as stronger sales at Lynk & Co offset weaker performance at the Zeekr brand.
Deliveries for the Zeekr brand fell 2.2% year-on-year to 17,626 units but rose 3.8% from July. Lynk & Co delivered 27,217 vehicles in August, up 20.8% from a year earlier and roughly unchanged from July’s 27,216.
From January to August, the group delivered 333,913 vehicles, up 14.6% from the same period last year. Zeekr brand deliveries in the first eight months totaled 125,343 units, a 3.1% year-on-year rise, while Lynk & Co sales climbed 22.8% to 208,570 units.
Zeekr took a controlling 51% stake in Lynk & Co earlier this year after completing a series of transactions announced in late 2023. Parent company Geely signed a definitive merger agreement with Zeekr in July, with the deal expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
At the Chengdu auto show on August 29, Zeekr began pre-sales of its first hybrid model, the Zeekr 9X, a large luxury SUV starting at RMB 479,900 ($67,280). The model is scheduled for official launch in late September and is among the highest-priced vehicles from a Chinese domestic automaker.
