Xpeng has announced dealer partnerships in five additional countries, marking a significant expansion of its international presence beyond Europe and Israel.

The partnerships in the five countries are as follows:
- UAE: Ali&Sons

Xpeng will start deliveries of its P7 sedan and G9 SUV in Jordan and Lebanon in the second quarter, and in Egypt in the third quarter. Deliveries of these models in Israel and Azerbaijan began at the end of 2023.

In the UAE, Xpeng will offer the G6 SUV and G9 from the third quarter, although no specific delivery date was mentioned.
The expansion into the UAE marks Xpeng’s entry into the Gulf region, while Azerbaijan becomes its first market in Central Asia, and Egypt its first in Africa. The company also plans to expand into additional European markets including Germany, the UK, Italy, and France later this year.
“The new markets we are announcing today are recognized globally as the nucleus for EV growth, which makes this the natural and forward-thinking next step in our expansion into the EMEA market,” said Alex Tang, Xpeng’s general manager of international marketing.

Xpeng has been focusing on the European market for the past two years, including opening its first experience store in an international market in Sweden. After pausing its overseas efforts in the second half of 2022, the company relaunched its internationalization efforts in February 2023 with the launch of the G9 and new P7 in Europe.
