Zeekr Crosses 800,000 Deliveries as Premium EV Portfolio Drives Global Growth

Zeekr has surpassed the milestone of 800,000 cumulative vehicle deliveries, highlighting the rapid rise of the premium electric vehicle manufacturer in the global market. The company announced that it now operates in more than 50 countries and regions worldwide, reflecting an accelerated international growth strategy. After delivering a record 34,377 vehicles in May and reaching 786,090 cumulative deliveries by the end of the month, the latest figures imply that the company added more than 13,910 vehicles during June. The achievement underscores the brand's ability to scale rapidly within the premium EV segment while expanding its presence across multiple markets.

Strong Growth Supported by Expanding Product Portfolio

During the first five months of the year, the company delivered 143,201 vehicles, representing year-on-year growth of 93.42 percent. A steady stream of new product launches has reduced dependence on a single high-volume model and created a diversified premium lineup. This broader product matrix is increasingly acting as a growth engine for the automaker. The strategy reflects a shift toward multiple high-value segments, enabling the brand to address a wider customer base while strengthening its position in luxury electric mobility. The expanding portfolio also supports higher transaction values and improved brand recognition.

Luxury Models Drive Premium Market Leadership

The Zeekr 009 has emerged as a flagship offering and is described by the company as the world's first purpose-built all-electric luxury MPV. Cumulative deliveries for the model are approaching 70,000 units. The vehicle has led sales in the MPV category priced above 400,000 yuan in mainland China for two consecutive years. It has also become the best-selling all-electric luxury MPV in markets including Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia. These achievements demonstrate growing consumer demand for premium electric mobility solutions in Asia and beyond.

High-End SUVs Expand Brand Reach

The plug-in hybrid luxury flagship SUV Zeekr 9X has become a key pillar in the company's premium market strategy. The model has exceeded 60,000 cumulative deliveries and maintains an average transaction price above 530,000 yuan, placing it among the most expensive offerings from Chinese domestic automakers. According to the company, the 9X has led sales and reputation rankings in the large SUV segment priced around 500,000 yuan for seven consecutive months. In the segment above 500,000 yuan, one out of every three luxury vehicles sold is reportedly a Zeekr 9X.

Another hybrid flagship, the Zeekr 8X, entered the market on April 17 and quickly gained momentum. During its first full month of deliveries in May, the model became the best-selling hybrid SUV within the 300,000 to 500,000 yuan transaction price range. Meanwhile, the Zeekr 7X has surpassed 160,000 cumulative deliveries and continues to lead sales of mid-size luxury SUVs in several international markets. These results indicate the company's ability to compete effectively across multiple premium vehicle segments while strengthening customer acceptance worldwide.

Shooting Brake Family Strengthens Brand Identity

The company's shooting brake lineup has recorded nearly 380,000 cumulative deliveries, making it a global leader in the category. The Zeekr 001 played a pioneering role in developing the all-electric luxury shooting brake market and helped move the segment from niche status toward mainstream adoption. The Zeekr 007 GT has further expanded the category through new design and performance benchmarks. This success highlights how differentiated vehicle architectures can create unique market opportunities while reinforcing premium brand positioning.

Integration and Global Expansion Strategy

The brand was launched by Geely Auto in March 2021 to target the rapidly electrifying premium EV market in China. In December last year, the company completed its merger with Geely and delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. The integration aligns with Zhejiang Geely Holding Group's "One Geely" strategy, which seeks to optimize resources, avoid overlap among brands, and improve operational synergies. As sales volumes continue to rise, the company plans to accelerate overseas expansion, with the 9X and 8X expected to enter additional international markets as early as the third quarter of the year.
