Industry data shared on Chinese social media this Tuesday showed that XPeng sold 7,900 vehicles in the country between August 11 and 17 — the same figures it had registered a week before.
The automaker has registered about 230,000 vehicles in its domestic market since the beginning of the year, as it is updating its lineup across both China and its overseas markets.
Last week, the recently unveiled iteration of the P7 sedan has undergone a 24-hour endurance test, in which it beat the record of Xiaomi‘s YU7 by 17 km.
The refreshed model set the longest distance traveled by a battery electric vehicle in 24 hours, with 3,961 km driven in a single day, including charging stops.
The new P7 is set to launch later this month, according to the brand.
The sedan follows XPeng‘s G7 SUV, which was launched last month and started being delivered on July 7.
It represented 15.1% (5,529 units) out of the record 36,717 vehicles delivered by the brand last month.
From August 11 to 17, the G7 accounted for 1,600 out of the 7,900 units sold — about 20%, meaning for every five XPeng vehicles registered, one was the G7 SUV.
As of August 13, the brand had exceeded 10,000 deliveries of the new model.
On Monday, XPeng has signed a strategic cooperation with China’s Citic Bank, securing a credit facility of 1 billion yuan (about $1.4 billion) to support the company’s business operations and developments.
XPeng and Volkswagen have also expanded their strategic cooperation on electrical and software architecture in China to hybrid and internal combustion engine (ICE) models of the legacy automaker in the country — previously set for electric vehicles only.
Approached by the Financial Times in mid-June, a Volkswagen spokesperson in China said that the two companies “are jointly developing two Volkswagen brand cars for the mid-class segment.”
The vehicles are set to be launched in 2026.
Last week, XPeng ranked fifth among Chinese new energy vehicle brands, having outperformed Huawei-backed Aito, which listed 7,700 units.
The Guangzhou-based brand follows Geely‘s Galaxy, Tesla, Stellantis‘ Leapmotor, which recorded 25,800, 14,000 and 10,400 vehicles, respectively.
BYD remained the country’s best-selling brand, with over 65,000 plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles registered last week.
Nio Group‘s main brand registered 2,520 vehicles in the Chinese market, remaining below its main competitor Zeekr‘s 3,260 units.
Onvo, the Shanghai-based group’s sub-brand focused on the family segment, sold 3,790 vehicles, from which 2,300 were the recently launched L90 six-seat SUV.
Firefly, its most recent brand, listed 880 vehicles in China as it started deliveries of its debut model in Europe.
