This year, XPENG has been stepping up its international market expansion. The company has introduced several intelligent electric vehicle models in various countries, including Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal. Additionally, XPENG has expanded into the Middle Eastern and African countries.

In October, XPENG partnered with Ali & Sons Holding LLC to host a market launch event in Dubai for the G6 and G9 models. This marked XPENG's official entry into the UAE market and a significant milestone in its Middle Eastern strategy.

In November, XPENG signed an official dealership agreement with IML (International Motors Ltd.), a European distributor for automobile manufacturers, marking the company's official entry into the UK market. XPENG said its first model to be launched in the UK would be the G6, which is expected to hit the market in early 2025.

XPENG plans to continue expanding into key markets in Europe, ASEAN, the Middle East, Latin America, and Oceania. At the Paris Motor Show 2024, the company announced its goal to enter over 60 countries and regions globally by the end of 2025. Over the next decade, it aims for its overseas sales to account for half of its total sales.
