Xpeng has achieved a significant milestone in France, delivering its 6,000th vehicle since entering the market in May 2024. The milestone comes as the Chinese EV maker continues to expand its international footprint and set new records for overseas sales.
6,000th Delivery Marks Milestone for Xpeng in France
Xpeng announced that it has delivered 6,000 vehicles in France, marking a key achievement for the company’s European expansion. The 6,000th customer, Pascal Delelis, is a 39-year-old generative AI expert who took delivery of a P7+ sedan.
Xpeng entered the French market in May 2024, initially launching the G9 flagship SUV and the G6 SUV, which competes with Tesla’s Model Y.
P7+ Sedan Leads Xpeng’s Overseas Push
The P7+ sedan has become a central model in Xpeng’s overseas strategy. First introduced to European consumers at the Paris Motor Show in October 2024 by chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng, the P7+ was officially launched in China on November 7, 2024.
An updated version of the P7+ was launched in China on January 8 this year and introduced in Europe the following day, now offering an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) option. The 2026 P7+ is currently produced at a facility in Graz, Austria, and is planned for launch in 36 countries and regions.
Record Overseas Sales and Global Expansion
Xpeng’s overseas sales have reached new highs, with 9,700 vehicles delivered outside China in July—an increase of 223.33% year-on-year and 28.77% from June. Overseas deliveries represented 25.51% of Xpeng’s total deliveries in July, the highest proportion to date.
From January through July, Xpeng delivered 41,299 vehicles overseas, up 90.31% year-on-year and accounting for 20.24% of its total deliveries in that period. Globally, Xpeng delivered 204,004 vehicles in the first seven months of the year, though this figure is down 12.78% compared to the same period last year.
Xpeng now operates more than 1,000 sales outlets worldwide and has an international presence spanning 60 countries and regions.
Why this matters
Xpeng’s rapid growth in France and other overseas markets highlights the increasing global reach of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers. The company’s ability to achieve record overseas sales and expand its presence to 60 countries and regions demonstrates the growing competitiveness of Chinese EV brands on the international stage.
The production of the P7+ in Europe and its rollout across dozens of countries further signals Xpeng’s commitment to international markets.
What this means for buyers
Buyers in France and other regions where Xpeng operates now have more choices in the electric vehicle market, with the P7+ and other models available through a growing network of sales outlets. Those interested in Xpeng vehicles can expect continued support and new model launches as the company expands its global footprint.
