XPeng has begun European deliveries of the P7+ sedan, with Vice Chairman and Co-President Brian Gu personally handing over the first unit to a customer in France.
Gu disclosed the milestone in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday, writing that he had “celebrated the delivery of a P7+ to the first customer in France” during a visit that also took in meetings with local partners.
The Co-President’s Paris stop came a day after he appeared at a Magna management conference in Austria, where he flagged the expansion of XPeng‘s assembly partnership to a fourth locally built model.
XPeng‘s founder and CEO He Xiaopeng confirmed the plan the same day.
“Across these conversations, there was a clear sense of momentum,” Gu wrote, pointing to “more customers discovering XPeng and the strong response to our products in the French market.”
Record Sales
XPeng sold 682 vehicles in France in May, up 167.5% year-on-year, official registration data showed, confirming the “record month for sales in France” Gu cited in his post.
Year-to-date registrations reached 2,474, a 133.6% increase from a year earlier.
Gu linked the performance to growing brand awareness and a strengthening dealer network.
XPeng France marked its second anniversary during the visit, an occasion the company celebrated with customers and partners alongside a drone art show.
In Norway, where handovers of the model have also commenced, the automaker reached its 10,000th cumulative vehicle delivery last month.
Local Assembly Anchors Europe Push
The P7+ is the third XPeng model assembled in Europe, following the G6 and G9 SUVs, per the company’s January announcement.
Magna Steyr builds all three from semi-knockdown kits shipped from China at its Graz facility.
Local assembly lets the Guangzhou-based automaker sidestep the European Commission’s extra duties on China-built EVs, which reached 20.7% for the brand before local production began in September 2025.
Gu used the Austrian conference to reveal the partnership would extend to a fourth vehicle, with He Xiaopeng confirming the move on X hours later.
Magna’s VP of Sales and Marketing Kurt Bachmaier told Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung assembly of the unnamed fourth model would start before the end of 2026.
XPeng has not said which vehicle it will be — though the X9 MPV and lower-cost Mona series, launched and confirmed to launch on the continent, respectively, are among the candidates.
P7+ Specifications
XPeng offers the P7+ in France across three trims.
The RWD Standard Range pairs a single 180 kW (241 hp) rear motor with a 61.7 kWh battery for 455 km of WLTP range and a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time.
A long-range variant lifts output to 230 kW (308 hp) and battery capacity to 74.9 kWh, delivering 530 km and a 6.2-second sprint.
All-wheel drive tops the line, with combined peak power of 370 kW (496 hp), a 4.3-second 0-100 km/h time and 500 km of WLTP range from the same 74.9 kWh pack.
Measuring 5,071 mm long, the liftback runs on an 800-volt architecture and carries the company’s Turing chip for advanced driver assistance.
Wider European Push
XPeng said at the P7+’s Brussels Motor Show debut in January that handovers would begin in April across 25 European markets — with Italian sales scheduled to follow in June through local partner ATFlow.
Several other models are due to launch in the old continent.
UK and Eastern Europe Managing Director Elvis Cheng confirmed the Mona L03 compact SUV will debut in Europe in July, with a second Mona model to follow later in the year.
Cheng also revealed that capacity at Graz is already under strain, saying that the plant can no longer meet growing European demand.
By then, speaking at the FT Future of the Car summit, the executive confirmed early talks with shareholder Volkswagen Group on supplementary manufacturing.
VW holds a 4.95% stake in the automaker.
European Trajectory
XPeng delivered 22,787 vehicles in Europe in 2025, a 126% year-on-year rise, and now operates in 28 countries with 290 retail outlets.
The brand registered over 3,400 vehicles across Europe in April, most of them assembled at Graz.
Global deliveries reached 125,851 vehicles by the end of May, between 21% and 23% of the company’s 2026 target of 550,000 to 600,000 units.
Most European markets had yet to report May figures as of Wednesday.
