Zeekr delivered 32,483 vehicles in October, representing year-on-year growth of 51.6% but a 12.72% decline from September, ending a run of six consecutive monthly delivery records for the premium brand owned by Geely Auto.
The company released its latest figures on Sunday. October marked Zeekr’s first month-on-month delivery decline since January, following eight consecutive months of growth on both an annual and monthly basis between February and September.
Deliveries were below September’s record of 37,216 vehicles and August’s 36,981 units. However, October still ranked as the brand’s sixth-highest monthly delivery total.
Annual Growth Continues but Slows
Zeekr recorded year-on-year delivery growth for the 12th consecutive month in October, although the increase of 51.63% was its lowest monthly growth rate so far in 2026.
During the previous nine months, annual delivery growth had exceeded 70% each month, reaching 103.85% in September.
The comparison base also increased as Zeekr expanded its sales last year. The company delivered 21,423 vehicles in October 2025, its highest monthly total during the first 10 months of that year and an increase of 17.34% from September.
For the first 10 months of 2026, Zeekr delivered 320,887 vehicles, up 94.45% year on year.
Since beginning customer deliveries in 2021, the brand has recorded cumulative deliveries of 963,776 vehicles. It is now 36,224 units short of reaching the one-million-vehicle milestone.
Zeekr 9X Supports Premium Positioning
Zeekr’s flagship 9X hybrid SUV has become an important part of its premium vehicle portfolio.
On October 21, the company announced that cumulative deliveries of the 9X had exceeded 85,000 units, marking the first anniversary of the model’s launch.
The average transaction price for the SUV exceeded 530,000 yuan ($78,940), according to the company, highlighting its position in the higher-priced segment of China’s vehicle market.
Updated Models Planned for 2026 and 2027
Zeekr is preparing several product updates to support future sales growth.
The 2027 Zeekr 7X is scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, while the updated 2027 Zeekr 001 shooting brake is planned for the first quarter of 2027.
The new models will form part of the brand’s efforts to maintain product competitiveness as it faces increasing competition in China’s premium electric vehicle market.
International Expansion Continues
Zeekr is also extending its overseas presence through additional market launches.
The company plans to introduce the 007 GT electric shooting brake in Australia during the fourth quarter of 2026. The model has already entered 16 European countries.
With cumulative deliveries approaching one million vehicles, Zeekr is entering a new phase of expansion supported by updated domestic models and a broader international sales network. October’s month-on-month decline represents a break in its recent delivery momentum, although annual growth remained above 50%.
