Xpeng says it has started delivery of Xpeng G3 EVs to customers in Norway – a major European market for electric vehicles.
100 Xpeng G3 smart electric SUVs are being handed over to their new owners this week across 28 cities and towns in Norway.
While the domestic Chinese market remains its primary customer base, Xpeng says it is now well positioned to develop its international strategy with the launch of its first production model, the G3 electric SUV, in Norway. Xpeng maintains it is actively exploring opportunities in other EV-mature markets with supportive government policies, advanced EV infrastructure and high EV awareness as the top priority markets. Xpeng is also planning to launch its second production model, the P7 electric sports sedan, in Europe within the next 12 months.
He Xiaopeng, CEO & Chairman of Xpeng, commented: "This week's customer deliveries in Norway represent a key milestone in Xpeng's aspirations to become a truly international smart EV brand. Our launch in Europe comes just as consumers are shifting in increasingly large numbers to more sustainable personal transport, and at a tipping point where governments around the world are stepping up their zero emission efforts. We look forward to being a significant driver in accelerating that transition."
The G3's auto parking function is able to distinguish between parallel and vertical parking spaces, as well as marked and unmarked parking spaces.
The G3 available in Norway features an English language user interface, with the AI-powered "Hi Xpeng" voice assistant, intelligent navigation and remote APP control.
