XPENG ACCELERATES ITS 2026 PRODUCT ROADMAP AS THE UK MARKET GROWS

XPENG UK today sets out its 2026 product ambitions, building on its rapid market entry and with a clear commitment to delivering advanced, intelligent EVs to British drivers.

Following its successful UK launch in 2025, XPENG is preparing for an exciting year ahead, with an expanded lineup of new-generation smart electric vehicles, designed to combine cutting-edge technology, performance, captivating design and real-world accessibility.

Key highlights for 2026 include:

• The new G6 SUV, featuring next-generation technologies, enhanced performance, refined design and over 20,000 changes that further elevate its intelligent driving and charging capabilities
• The introduction of the XPENG X9, arriving mid-year as a seven-seat flagship luxury product, expanding choice for families and businesses alike, seeking intelligent, all-electric long-range capability in a versatile but dynamic model
• Continued growth of XPENG’s high-tech SUV lineup, with further expansion to the UK product portfolio in 2026

“The coming year represents a defining moment in XPENG’s global and European expansion and product strategy,” said Jonny Miller, XPENG UK Sales Director. “We are committed to expanding consumer choice in the UK with vehicles that deliver not only world-class electric performance, but also industry-leading smart functionality, technology, design and real-world usability.”

Since its UK market entry in February 2025, XPENG has focused on delivering products that seamlessly marry intelligent connectivity with strong real-world performance and competitive pricing – underpinned by a growing dealer and service network across the country.

Talking about the retail network strategy, Jonny Miller stated, “We will continue to grow our retailer network in 2026. However, this will be done strategically, focusing on locations convenient for our future customers. Therefore, we are specifically looking to appoint retailers in larger cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Edinburgh.

Launching in the UK during the first quarter of 2026, the new XPENG G6 brings the brand’s next phase of innovation into sharp focus. Representing a significant step forward in engineering, technology and design, the new G6 has over 20,000 incremental developments over its predecessor, with attention to detail and enhancements to further refine the G6 for European roads and driving conditions.

Developments and comprehensive enhancements have been made across the chassis and suspension, steering dynamics, electric powertrain behaviour, battery management and NVH performance, along with the use of premium materials on the interior. The result is a markedly more composed and confidence-inspiring driving experience, delivering exceptional stability, comfort and vibration isolation – key qualities carefully engineered to meet the demands of British roads and everyday driving conditions.

Performance credentials are further strengthened with the introduction of a new G6 Dual-Motor AWD Performance Black Edition. This version, new to the UK in 2026, is equipped with advanced twin electric motors that produce a combined 358kW of power, which equates to 480 bhp, and 660Nm of torque. This enables an acceleration from 0-62mph in just 4.13 seconds.

Despite the overall enhancements to the vehicle and the next-generation battery technology, the new XPENG G6 will remain priced at the same level as the outgoing model. Prices start from £39,990 on the road for the Rear-Wheel Drive Standard Range model, with the Long-Range variant available from £44,990. The range is now topped by the new Dual-Motor AWD Performance Black Edition, priced from £49,990 on the road.

Looking further ahead in XPENG’s UK product roadmap for 2026, the brand’s flagship luxury seven-seat offering – the XPENG X9 – represents the next step in expanding choice for families and customers seeking high-tech, intelligent and spacious electric mobility. Honed on XPENG’s advanced 800v SEPA2.0 architecture and featuring a futuristic, ‘starship-inspired’ design concept, the X9 couples a smart, flexible cabin aesthetic with a suite of next-generation connected technologies and aerodynamic efficiency measures. With a focus on comfort, luxury, space and real-world usability, the upcoming X9 underscores XPENG’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge electric vehicles to diverse segments of the UK market.

Beyond the new G6 and X9, XPENG is also in the advanced stages of development for several new models that will be announced later in 2026. These future products form part of XPENG’s longer-term vision to expand its high-tech EV portfolio across multiple segments in the UK and other European markets.
