This recent surge in sales indicates that XPeng is on the verge of breaking the 11-month-long period of year-over-year sales decline, signifying a positive trajectory for the company’s growth.

Notably, the majority of XPeng’s sales are concentrated in China, which remains a key market for the company.

While individual model sales figures are not disclosed, XPeng reported remarkable success with its all-new, all-electric G6 model, recording over 3,900 sales within its first month on the market. This promising start positions the G6 to potentially become XPeng’s top-selling model for the year. The G3/G3i, G9, P5, and P7/P7i models accounted for the remaining sales, estimated to be around 7,108 units.

The introduction of the G6 model has sparked a surge in showroom visits, igniting interest in other XPeng Smart EV models and their advanced smart technologies. To meet the increasing demand for the G6, the company is ramping up production, with manufacturing facilities operating at full capacity, and enhancing logistics resources for faster deliveries.

In the year-to-date period, XPeng delivered over 52,000 battery electric vehicles, reflecting a 35 percent decrease compared to the previous year. Despite this, XPeng’s performance over the year remains promising, especially considering the challenges faced by the global automotive industry.

As of the end of July 2023, XPeng’s cumulative electric vehicle deliveries reached an impressive milestone of 311,153 units, illustrating the brand’s growing presence in the EV market.

Beyond its impressive sales figures, XPeng has garnered attention for its strategic partnership with Volkswagen in China. This long-term collaboration involves the joint development of two B-class battery electric vehicles to be sold under the Volkswagen brand in China. Additionally, Volkswagen has acquired a 5 percent stake in XPeng through a substantial $700 million investment.

The partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both companies, with XPeng contributing its G9 platform, connectivity, and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) software. This collaboration is expected to bring about cost efficiencies in the supply chain, drive the development of new vehicle models, and apply innovative technologies to further advance the EV industry in China.

Overall, XPeng’s recent achievements and strategic collaborations showcase the company’s dedication to propelling the EV market forward and creating a significant impact in the sustainable transportation sector.
