Industry data shared on Chinese social media this Tuesday showed that XPeng sold 6,700 vehicles in the country between September 1 and 7.
Sales have declined by 20.2% from the final week of August, when it had registered 8,400 units, reflecting a typical slowdown in vehicle sales at the beginning of each month.
It is also the first time since mid-July that registrations have dropped below 7,000 weekly units.
XPeng reached a new sales record in August with 37,709 fully electric vehicles delivered, as it continues expanding both its lineup and its presence worldwide.
The company recently entered Belgium and Luxembourg and will enter Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia soon.
The brand is present at the IAA Auto Show from September 9 to 14, where it has announced that it will open its first European R&D center. It will be located in Munich and is set to officially open this week.
XPeng also announced that the Mona M03 sedan — which represents nearly half of the company’s sales in China — will be launched in Europe and other international markets as soon as next year.
