XPeng registered 8,500 units in China between June 16 and 22, according to data shared this Tuesday on Chinese social media.
The figures represent a 32.8% increase from the previous week and bring the month-to-date total to over 19,000 units.
According to the guidance provided in late May, the carmaker expects to deliver between 102,000 and 108,000 vehicles in the second quarter.
In its home market, the company registered 78,140 vehicles with about one week of the quarter remaining.
XPeng will launch its G7 SUV later this week on June 26 — the same day as Xiaomi’s YU7.
On Monday, XPeng’s founder and CEO He Xiaopeng commented on Weibo that the “the XPeng G7 will also be unveiled next week, focusing on technology, space, and comfort, aimed at different user groups.”
“The YU7 and G7 have many differences, and I’m confident they will meet more and higher demands from diverse users,” the chief executive stated.
The brand opened pre-orders for the model last week and secured 10,000 orders in less than an hour. The G7 is positioned to rival Xiaomi’s upcoming YU7 SUV and the refreshed Tesla Model Y.
The model will be available in Max and Ultra variants. While the Max version will use two Nvidia Orin X smart driving chips, the Ultra iteration will feature three self-developed AI Turing Chips.
The SUV is positioned between XPeng‘s entry-level SUV G6 and its family-oriented G9, both of which have been revamped earlier this year.
The refreshed versions of the G6 and the G9 will be launched in Europe in mid-July, the brand revealed last week.
