Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng said on Thursday it is entering five more European countries as part of its accelerated global expansion strategy.
The company will launch operations in Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia, expanding on its existing European footprint. In Switzerland, Xpeng will work with European mobility services provider Hedin Group, initially rolling out the 2025 G6 and G9 sport utility vehicles before introducing the P7+ sedan in the first half of 2026. The partnership aims to set up between eight and ten outlets by the end of next year, with a further 10 to 20 planned in 2026.
Austria will be added in October, where Xpeng intends to replicate the dealer model already established in Germany. Initial locations will include Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and Klagenfurt, with a target of 20 outlets by 2026. Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia will be served through a joint venture between AutoWallis Group and Salvador Caetano Group, which will manage sales, delivery and after-sales support. Pop-up stores are planned this fall in Budapest, Ljubljana and Zagreb to showcase upcoming models.
Xpeng has stepped up its overseas push, aiming for international markets to account for half of its sales within the next decade. The automaker delivered 24,702 vehicles outside China in the first eight months of 2025, a rise of more than 137% from a year earlier.
The company is also expanding overseas production capacity. Its first international plant, built in partnership with Magna in Austria, has begun assembling G6 and G9 SUVs, while its Indonesian facility started producing the X9 MPV in July.
