Guangzhou-based carmaker XPeng reached a significant milestone on Friday by producing its 1 millionth vehicle since it started manufacturing exactly seven years ago.
The company reached this milestone just 14 months after reporting its first 500,000 vehicles — a mark that had taken 82 months to achieve.
The rapid growth over the past year was driven by XPeng‘s expansion in both global markets and its product lineup.
The company has three production bases across China, including the main Zhaoqing plant and two factories in Guangzhou and Wuhan.
It has also recently started assembling vehicles for European markets with Magna Steyr, in the Canadian manufacturer’s facility in Graz, Austria.
Earlier this Friday, the company has announced that it will also assemble vehicles of the State-owned brand GAC.
“Behind this figure of one million lies a wealth of numbers and stories: nearly 30,000 employees and their families, all our supply chain partners around the world, and the XPeng fans who have accompanied us along the way,” the company wrote on Weibo.
According to founder and CEO He Xiaopeng, “1 million is just the starting point of a new journey.”
The chief executive said in a Weibo post that the brand “will continue to uphold the bottom line of safety and quality, deepen our commitment to service and technological accessibility,” while continuing to bet on physical and AI capabilities, and “firmly pursue globalization.”
X9 EREV
The 1-millionth vehicle produced by XPeng was the extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), the ‘X9 Power X.’
The MPV, launched on Thursday at the Guangzhou Auto Show, is the brand’s first hybrid model to debut, after having only produced electric vehicles.
“Today also marks the delivery of the first batch of XPeng X9 Super Range vehicles to their owners,” He added, saying that the company has achieved “delivery upon launch.”
The vehicle is priced from 309,800 yuan ($43,580).
For comparison, the fully electric version, which was upgraded earlier this year, is priced from 359,800 yuan ($50,620).
The company is also preparing to unveil hybrid versions of the newly launched G7 SUV, its cheapest G6 model, and the P7 sedan.
Despite not having specifically mentioned international markets, XPeng is expected to announce the launch of the hybrid X9 in Europe, as the model was spotted in several locations across the continent last month, including Germany’s Nürburgring racetrack.
A Year of Records
In 2025, XPeng has nearly doubled its presence overseas, starting with 30 markets in January and reaching 54 last month, as it races toward a year-end target of operating in 60 countries.
The brand exceeded 40,000 vehicle deliveries in each of the past three months —August, September, and October — establishing a new monthly record streak.
Year-to-date deliveries through October 31 reached 355,209 units, putting XPeng at 93.5% of its 380,000-unit annual target with two months remaining in 2025.
Data compiled by CnEVPost shows that, by the end of October 2025, cumulative deliveries from 2018 to 2025 had reached 945,588 vehicles.
Earlier this week, upon reporting its third quarter results, the company guided fourth quarter deliveries to be between 125,000 and 132,000 units, a goal that has disappointed analysts.
