Xpeng to bring seven-seat X9 'starship' and G9 to UK in 2026


The third Xpeng EV due in the UK – towards the end of 2026 – is the G9, a mid-sized SUV in the vein of the Audi Q6 E-tron and Polestar 3, with up to 543bhp and an official maximum range of 323 miles – plus the ability to add 62 miles of range in as little as five minutes from a 300kW charger.

Beyond that, International Motors plans to bring two more Xpeng EVs to the UK by mid-2027, but these are understood to still be in development and haven’t yet been launched in China.

The new P7+ saloon, with its advanced camera-based autonomous driving system, and the value-focused Mona M03 liftback aren’t on the radar as it stands. 

Importantly, said Brown, International Motors will import only models that are well suited for the UK market, rather than looking to launch the whole gamut of Xpengs here. 

It aims to be selling Xpengs from 20 UK dealers by the end of the year and to notch up around 2000 sales of the G6 in 2025, following its customer launch in the spring.

It will “ramp up the dealer representation” as more models come on stream, Brown said, but “we’re fairly pragmatic, because this is an EV-only brand. There are some really good EV operators out there; if they’re not in the right location, we would probably sacrifice the location for the right operator.”
