In the statistical period from April 1 to September 30, 2026, the Zeekr 8X ranked first in cumulative sales in the 300,000-500,000 yuan hybrid SUV market, based on CPCA wholesale data and average transaction price. The vehicle was launched on April 17, with a limited-time price starting at 329,800 yuan after benefits. Firm orders exceeded 10,000 within 29 minutes of sales opening, sales reached 6,103 units in its first full delivery month, and Ultra and above high-end trims accounted for 95.6% of orders. Amid intensifying competition, the difference between wholesale data and terminal retail sales, capacity ramp-up, and whether the lead can be sustained remain to be seen.

Chinese Brands Hold 20% of UK Car Market; Nissan Executive Says UK May Need Tariffs on Chinese Cars

Chinese Brands Hold 20% of UK Car Market; Nissan Executive Says UK May Need Tariffs on Chinese Cars

According to Bloomberg, Nissan executive Massimiliano Messina said that if the UK wants equal treatment under EU rules of origin, it may need to impose trade tariffs on Chinese cars. Chinese brands currently account for 20% of UK market sales, and the UK has not yet followed the EU in imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, while the EU's "made in the EU" rules could exclude UK production from subsidies. Nissan previously announced a £170 million investment to produce a hybrid SUV at its Sunderland plant. This policy gap and concerns about circumvention will affect Chinese automakers' access to the European market and their localization plans.
