Zeekr, the premium brand under Geely Auto (HKEX: 0175), delivered 37,216 vehicles in September, up 103.85% year-on-year and 0.64% from August, according to figures released Thursday.

That marked its sixth consecutive monthly delivery record, extending the brand's strong growth this year.

Zeekr has posted both year-on-year and month-on-month growth for 8 consecutive months. September's performance brought its deliveries so far this year to 288,404 vehicles, up 100.84% from a year earlier.

The brand's cumulative deliveries have reached 931,293 vehicles since it began deliveries in 2021.

Several models supported September's growth. The flagship 9X hybrid SUV delivered 7,225 vehicles during the month as production of the 5-seat version ramped up and deliveries accelerated.

The 5-seat Zeekr 9X was launched on July 28 with a limited-time starting price of 451,900 yuan ($67,100), helping the brand expand its reach in the premium family SUV market.

The Zeekr 9X recently entered the German market with a price range that overlaps with the Porsche Cayenne's, signaling its effort to establish a foothold in Europe's premium SUV market.

The Zeekr 7X remains a major sales driver for the brand. The company said the SUV has sold more than 10,000 vehicles in each of the past 3 months, with cumulative global sales exceeding 200,000 vehicles.

The Zeekr 7X was first launched in September 2024. On September 3, the company announced that the 2027 Zeekr 7X would launch in the fourth quarter of this year, adding a version equipped with an 85-kWh Golden Battery.

The new 85-kWh version will fill the capacity gap between the current 75-kWh and 103-kWh batteries. Zeekr has yet to disclose its CLTC range, charging speed or details of its high-voltage platform.

Zeekr is also preparing updates to its established core models. Earlier today, the company said the 2027 Zeekr 001 shooting brake is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2027.
