JAKARTA - The automotive manufacturer from China X Peng continues to show its ambitions in the global arena by making another breakthrough. After successfully sticking nails in a number of countries, X Peng is now preparing to explore the new challenging market: England.

Launching from Autocar, Friday, January 10, the Guangzhou, China-based automotive manufacturer will launch two of its newest models, namely the MPV and G9-shaped X9 for SUVs following the launch of the country's crossover-style G6. Both models are expected to arrive at the local dealer network next year.

Through the International Motors importer network, the two models will strengthen the position of this brand in the British automotive industry, especially in the premium EV segment.

XPeng X9 is an MPV car carrying a seven-seater configuration in a radical form and positioned as a flagship of its entire staff.

Because it has a radical, luxurious, and wide-dimensional design, the manufacturer says X9 will compete with several models including Volkswagen ID.Buzz and Kia EV9.

In China, Xpeng X9 is offered with a choice of single and double electric motor powertrain which has up to 496 hp and a peak torque of 640 Nm.

This car also has an 84.5 kWh or 101.5 kWh battery option to provide a maximum range of up to 436 miles or 701 km according to the CLTC cycle. In addition, X9 is equipped with an 800V voltage electric architecture capable of charging with DC devices up to 330 kW while making it one of the fastest electric cars in the world.

Another model, namely XPeng G9, is positioned as a medium-sized SUV that will compete with models such as Audi Q6 E-tron and Polestar 3, which have power reaching 543 hp with a distance of up to 323 miles or 519 km in one full charge.

Just like X9, X Peng G9 has the ability to charge for a distance of 62 miles or 100 km in just five minutes with a DC charger of 300 kW.

International Motors will later present two other EV models to the UK market in mid-2027, but the vehicle is still in the development stage and has not been launched globally.

X Peng will also explore the Indonesian market with Erajaya Active Lifestyle (ERAL) becoming the single agent holding the brand for the brand.

This achievement is a significant step in X Peng's global expansion, particularly in Asia, while strengthening its commitment to providing AI-based sustainable mobility solutions around the world.

For the Indonesian market, X Peng will bring in the first two models, namely G6 in the form of a crossover and X9 which is a luxury electric vehicle line.
