XPeng reached a new overseas shipment record in June for the third consecutive month, as the Guangzhou-based automaker continues to bet on international markets to help reaching its ambitious annual sales target.
With vehicle exports exceeding 7,000 units for the first time in June, first-half deliveries accounted for twice the share of annual exports as in the same period last year.
XPeng shipped 7,533 vehicles in June — also nearly doubling (99.3%) from the 3,779 units exported last year — according to data published by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
The result also represented a 15.8% sequential gain over the 6,503 units recorded in May.
Overseas shipments accounted for 18.8% of XPeng‘s 40,126 total global deliveries in June.
Total deliveries rose 16.0% year-on-year, the first positive year-on-year month for the brand in 2026 after five consecutive months of declines.
In the first half of the year, XPeng shipped 31,599 vehicles overseas, a 68.9% increase from 18,701 in the same period of 2025.
Exports represented 19.0% of total deliveries in the January-June period, up from 9.5% a year earlier — a sign of how rapidly the international business has gained weight within XPeng‘s overall sales mix.
However, domestic deliveries remain sharply below 2025 levels.
Excluding exports, XPeng delivered an estimated 134,378 vehicles in China through the first six months of 2026, down 24.7% from 178,488 in the same period last year.
X9 Exports Nearly Double
Exports of the X9 multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) nearly doubled sequentially, jumping to 1,118 units in June from 596 in May.
Year-on-year, shipments surged almost eightfold from just 140 units in June 2025.
The sharp increase coincided with XPeng‘s launch of X9 deliveries across seven European markets in mid-June, including Germany, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary.
The MPV previously had meaningful export presence only in Southeast Asia, where it held the top-selling position in its segment in Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
In Germany, the X9 is priced from €77,600 ($89,900), positioning the vehicle in the premium family mobility segment.
In Norway — which is outside the EU and therefore exempt from countervailing duties on Chinese-made electric vehicles — the model starts at NOK 581,688 ($60,900).
G6 Remains the Anchor
The entry-level G6 SUV continued to dominate XPeng‘s export volumes, accounting for 4,654 of the 7,533 units shipped in June, or 61.8% of the total.
The figure represented a 57.7% year-on-year increase from 2,951 units in June 2025 and a 6.7% sequential gain from May’s 4,361.
Through the first half of 2026, the G6 accounted for 20,639 of XPeng‘s 31,599 overseas shipments, a 65.3% share.
The SUV is assembled across three continents — at XPeng‘s own plants in China, at Magna Steyr’s facility in Graz, Austria, and at EP Manufacturing Berhad’s plant in Melaka, Malaysia.
The G9, XPeng‘s larger flagship SUV, posted 1,334 exports in June — its strongest month ever — more than doubling the 647 units shipped in June 2025.
Combined, the G6 and G9 accounted for 79.5% of all overseas shipments in the month.
P7+ Builds Momentum
P7+ exports rose to 368 units in June, up from 323 in May.
The sedan, now assembled alongside the G6 and G9 at Magna Steyr’s Graz plant, began customer deliveries across European markets in early June, with Vice Chairman and Co-President Brian Gu personally handing over the first French-market unit to a buyer in Paris.
Despite earlier warnings of lack of capacity, a fourth model is set to begin assembly at the Magna plant “soon”, as confirmed by the company’s founder and CEO He Xiaopeng; the brand has not revealed which one it will be, however.
Through the first half of 2026, P7+ exports totaled 998 units.
With deliveries rolling across 25 European countries, the model’s export contribution is expected to grow in the second half.
The GX large SUV, which launched domestically in May, recorded just 2 export units in June.
Large-scale overseas shipments of the model are not expected until later this year.
Mona Series
The Mona M03 shipped 37 units overseas in June, a partial recovery from zero in May but still negligible relative to the model’s dominance in China — where it accounted for more than 14,000 deliveries in the month.
The Mona series’ European moment is imminent.
The L03 compact SUV debuted in China on July 2, with founder and CEO He Xiaopeng confirming a European launch with official sales would follow shortly after.
Elvis Cheng, XPeng‘s managing director for the UK and Europe, previously confirmed a brand event in Munich this month to announce new models for the region — which was then revealed would take place on July 16 (this Friday).
A camouflaged L03 was spotted roadtesting in Munich late last month, and the company has been testing its VLA assisted driving technology on German roads ahead of the debut, as exclusively reported by EV this Monday.
The L03, priced at roughly 150,000 yuan ($22,100) in China, would sit well below XPeng‘s existing European offerings and bring the brand into direct competition with affordable EVs from BYD, MG and Leapmotor.
90,000-Unit Target
According to local media reports earlier this year, XPeng is targeting more than 90,000 overseas deliveries in 2026 — roughly double last year’s total of 45,008.
At the current first-half pace of approximately 5,267 units per month, XPeng is annualizing at roughly 63,200 overseas deliveries, well short of the target.
Reaching 90,000 for the full year would require average monthly exports of approximately 9,734 units over the remaining six months.
The second half of 2025 was considerably stronger than the first, with exports accelerating sharply from September onward.
A similar back-half weighting appears built into XPeng‘s planning this year, with the addition of the L03 and X9 to European markets — alongside ongoing P7+ and GX ramps — broadening the export funnel.
However, the concerns exist both domestically and overseas.
XPeng delivered 165,977 vehicles globally in the first half of 2026, down 15.8% from 197,189 in the same period of 2025.
