Zeekr delivered 32,483 vehicles in October, ending a run of six straight monthly records. Deliveries were down 12.72% from September's 37,216, the brand's first month-on-month fall since January. They were still up 51.63% from a year earlier.
Numbers
Year to date: 320,887, up 94.45% and almost double last year, as Inside China Auto notes.
Cumulative since 2021: 963,776, or 36,224 short of 1 million.
October's 51.63% annual growth was the lowest this year. It had been above 70% in each of the nine months before.
What's next
The 2027 Zeekr 7X, a premium SUV in the Model Y's class, is due in the fourth quarter. A 2027 001 shooting brake follows in early 2027. Overseas, Zeekr plans to launch the 007 GT in Australia this quarter after rolling it out in 16 European countries. Inside China Auto calls October "more like a pause than a problem."
