China new entrant XPeng coming to UK ‘within weeks’
21 October 2024
Chinese EV brand XPeng will launch in the UK in “less than a handful of months,” co-founder Brian Gu confirmed at the Paris Motor Show. Its Tesla Model Y-rivalling G6 will be the launch car in right-hand drive UK.
“The UK is a very important market,” said Gu.
The G6 is already available in European markets, where the model range line-up closely mirrors the Telsa Model Y.
Chinese firms are understood to be committing to the UK following the government’s confirmation it will not follow the EU and raise tariffs on China-built EVs.
