Geely September Sales Rise 7% to 292,168 Vehicles as Zeekr Doubles

The headline growth masks a widening internal split: Zeekr's doubling and the export surge are doing the heavy lifting, while the modest year-on-year gain in total volume suggests the legacy core is close to flat. That mix matters more than the aggregate, because it shifts the earnings base toward higher-priced EVs and overseas markets where margins and competitive dynamics differ from China's domestic price war. Whether exports can sustain that pace, and whether Zeekr's momentum holds as more premium EV entrants crowd the segment, is the open question.
