HANGZHOU, China, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Geely Auto Group is building momentum in China’s premium new energy vehicle market as the Zeekr 9X earns top owner endorsement in its price tier. According to the 2026 First‑Half New Energy Vehicle Brand Health Study from China‑based consultancy LandRoads, the Zeekr 9X recorded a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 83.9, the highest among vehicles priced above RMB 500,000 (approx. USD 73,000).
LandRoads’ findings, drawn from responses by over 10,000 new energy vehicle owners, underscore strong owner satisfaction and brand health for the Zeekr 9X, indicating its positive reception in China’s highly competitive high‑value vehicle segment.
LandRoads’ analysis associated Zeekr’s improving owner recommendation with several aspects of its recent brand and user strategy, including greater transparency around product updates, a more stable pricing approach and more direct communication with customers. These priorities are intended to strengthen owner confidence at a time when rapid product renewal and frequent pricing changes across the automotive industry can affect customer expectations and perceptions of long-term product value.
Zeekr has also recorded five consecutive months of both year-on-year and month-on-month sales growth in China. Its flagship models, including the Zeekr 009, Zeekr 9X and Zeekr 8X, now account for close to half of the brand’s sales, supporting a gradual shift in its product mix towards higher-value segments.
Zeekr is continuing to expand its international presence. The brand has entered more than 50 countries and regions across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Oceania and Latin America, supported by a growing network of sales, delivery and aftersales operations.
Zeekr’s current international product portfolio includes the Zeekr 001, Zeekr 009, Zeekr X, Zeekr 7X and Zeekr 7GT. The company is also preparing for the first international deliveries of the Zeekr 9X in selected Middle Eastern markets during the second half of 2026.
