XPENG to Launch in the UK in Early 2025 With the Electric G6 Mid-Size SUV

China's XPENG plans to launch in the UK in early 2025 with the introduction of the electric G6 mid-size SUV. It's named International Motors Ltd (IML) as its official distributor in the UK. 

The XPENG G6, a pure-electric mid-size coupe SUV offers 800-volt supercharging and an extended driving range.

Its next-generation operating systems and premium features will provide an AI-integrated driving experience for UK drivers.

XPENG’s European expansion began with Norway in 2020, followed by launches in Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal.

By 2025, XPENG aims to expand to over 60 international markets, with an aim for half of its sales to come from markets outside of China.

Alex Tang, Head of International Business at XPENG, says: "Our partnership with IM Group marks an important step in XPENG's global expansion. We are excited to introduce UK consumers to a new standard in electric mobility, combining innovative technology with exceptional design to deliver an unparalleled experience that meets the demands of today's drivers. With a vision for AI-defined mobility, we aim to revolutionize the driving experience in the UK, making it safer, smarter, more sustainable and more pleasant in the near future."

William Brown, Managing Director at International Motors Ltd, adds: “We are delighted to formally announce a distributor partnership with XPENG. IML has been working with XPENG for some time, and this was highlighted with the UK debut of the XPENG G6 at the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year. This new long-term agreement demonstrates IML’s ambition to seek alliances with forward-thinking partners that share the company's values. Both parties look forward to launching the impressive G6 to UK customers in early 2025.”
