2026-07-21
  • XPENG ANZ will launch five new vehicles within six months, each positioned as the intelligence benchmark in its class — making Australia among the first markets to receive XPENG’s latest products, in sync with China.

  • Within six months, XPENG ANZ plans to operate three flagship technology experience centres and up to 50 sales outlets nationally, aiming to place most Australian customers within a 40-minute drive of a showroom.

  • XPENG Introduces the latest Kunpeng Range Extender Technology, eliminating range anxiety and redefining the EV experience.

  • Several of Australia's top-10 dealer groups have joined the network; XPENG ANZ's genuine-parts warehouse is operational in Melbourne in partnership with FedEx; and XPENG ANZ is working with AASRA on Australia's right-to-repair scheme (MVIS).


Melbourne, 21 July, 2026 - XPENG today unveiled its long-term strategy for Australia, reaffirming its commitment to one of its most important international markets. The company announced plans to introduce its advanced Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP) technology in 2027, launch five new AI-powered models in 2026, and rapidly expand its local sales, delivery and service network, bringing Australian customers earlier access to XPENG’s latest intelligent mobility technologies and a comprehensive ownership experience.


The Latest Five All-New Vehicles to Launch in Australia Within Six Months, benefiting from synchronised global product rollout

Over the next six months, XPENG will launch five new vehicles in Australia, each positioned as the intelligence benchmark in its class.

At the Melbourne event, XPENG ANZ debuts the seven-seat X9 flagship, available to order now, and shows the L03 compact SUV in right-hand drive days after its global unveiling in Munich on 16 July. The L03 is confirmed for Australian sale in Q4 2026.

Further models complete a showcase line-up, including the updated MY26 G6, with two of the vehicles on display also confirmed for Australia but subject to embargo.

XPENG ANZ has committed to keeping Australia’s new model rollout closely aligned with China, so customers receive its latest models and technology in step with the home market.


Three Flagship Experience Centres and up to 50 Sales Outlets Planned Nationwide

Within six months, XPENG ANZ plans to operate three flagship technology experience centres alongside a national network of up to 50 sales outlets. The target is designed to place most Australian customers within a 40-minute drive of an XPENG showroom.

Since establishing direct factory operations, XPENG ANZ has appointed authorised dealers across five states — New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia — with state support offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Several of Australia's top-10 dealer groups have joined the network, bringing established retail and aftersales capability to the rollout.


XPENG Introduces Next-Gen Kunpeng Range Extender Technology, Eliminating Range Anxiety and Redefining the EV Experience

XPENG is bringing its dual-energy strategy to Australia, offering both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Range-Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs) to meet the diverse needs of Australian consumers across different driving scenarios.

XPENG Kunpeng Range Extender is a smart solution designed for the unique driving conditions of Australia and New Zealand. Built on an EV-first philosophy, the system delivers a pure electric driving experience for everyday use while providing added range confidence for longer journeys, regional travel, and unpredictable charging situations.

With a large battery, extended total range, superior NVH performance, and high energy efficiency, the Kunpeng Range Extender makes electric mobility more practical without compromising the EV experience. It represents the next step in making electric driving accessible, reliable, and suitable for more real-world driving scenarios.


Elevating the After-Sales Experience: Faster Spare Parts Delivery with Next-Day Availability and Shorter Repair Times

XPENG ANZ's genuine-parts warehouse is now operational at a Melbourne facility managed with FedEx, handling national parts inventory, workshop support, customer support, and dealer technical assistance for all XPENG ANZ vehicles, with next-day delivery across major states.

XPENG ANZ technical support runs across three levels: factory-trained specialist dealers as first point of contact, remote diagnostics drawing on vehicle data, and field technicians attending dealerships where needed.

XPENG ANZ is working with the Australian Automotive Service and Repair Authority (AASRA) to support the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Information Sharing Scheme (MVIS) — Australia's right-to-repair framework, introduced in 2022. Technical onboarding is underway and expected to be completed in the coming months.

Once finalised, authorised and independent repairers will be able to access eligible XPENG service and repair information under MVIS — so owners are not locked into the manufacturer’s network and can choose an independent workshop.


Bringing Full-Stack Physical AI Technology to Australia, Featuring In-House Chips, Intelligent Driving, and Future Robotaxi Collaboration

XPENG develops its intelligent driving in-house, from the silicon up, on the company's own Turing AI chips — up to three per vehicle, delivering 2250 TOPS of computing power, with configuration varying by model.

Its next-generation intelligent driving system, VLA 2.0-powered NGP is scheduled for global launch in 2027, with Australia among the first right-hand-drive markets set to receive it.

The same foundation model underpins XPENG's Robotaxi program.

With its new footprint in Australia, XPENG extends an open invitation to local partners — including fleet operators, mobility companies and dealers — to work with the company, using XPENG's Robotaxi vehicles and software to accelerate the development of autonomous mobility in Australia.


IRON and the Land Aircraft Carrier make their Australian debut

XPENG's humanoid robot IRON, runs the same VLA foundation model as XPENG's vehicles — giving it, the ability to reason and decide autonomously rather than follow pre-programmed routines, with human-like motion and interaction.

Designed for customer-facing roles in XPENG retail stores, IRON is targeted for large-scale mass production by end-2026. It will be deployed as an AI-powered retail sales assistant across XPENG's Chinese stores starting in the first quarter of 2027, with overseas rollout planned later in the year.

The Land Aircraft Carrier — XPENG's modular flying car, pairing a ground vehicle with a detachable two-seat aircraft — is built on the same foundation model, extending XPENG's automotive AI into three-dimensional mobility.

The vehicle has attracted 7000 orders globally to date and is the world's best-selling flying car.
