Guangzhou, China & Oslo, Norway, Nov. 26, 2021 – XPENG, a leading Chinese smart electric vehicle company, has been awarded the Most Known Newcomer of the Year in Kantar's Car Index survey, one of the most prestigious annual automobile surveys in Norway.

The survey is one of the most recognized polls for Norwegian car buyers, ranking auto brands based on buyers’ willingness to select the brand for their shopping lists. This survey was conducted by Kantar, in association with three leading local media - Dagbladet, one of Norway’s largest tabloids with 1.4 million daily readers, Dinside and elbil24. XPENG ranks top on the Most Known  Newcomers list, winning the vote from more than half of the survey’s respondents.

XPENG has been expanding its local presence in Norway as a key initiative in its long-term international strategy. Together with its local partner XBI in Norway, XPENG’s sales and service network currently covers 17 locations. The Norwegian launch of the XPENG P7 and P7 Wing special edition in October marks another significant development of its product portfolio in Norway following the launch of the G3.

“We have invested significant efforts in the establishment of XPENG in the Norwegian market. The top ranking today is a strong testimony of the recognition of our product competitiveness and the increasing appeal of XPENG to customers in Norway,” says Christian Hem, Sales Director of XPENG Norway. “We are committed to optimizing customer experience and building our local presence with a long-term perspective.”

XPENG is witnessing increasing visibility in the European market, presenting the sixth-generation flying car of HT Aero, XPENG's affiliate Urban Air Mobility company, at European Rotors 2021, the rotorcraft industry event, in Cologne, Germany this month.
