XPENG steps up UK rollout with upgraded G6 and seven-seat X9 planned for 2026

XPENG UK has outlined an accelerated 2026 product plan as it looks to build momentum in the growing UK EV market, with a focus on real-world usability, performance and intelligent technology.

Central to the strategy is the new XPENG G6, launching in the first quarter of 2026. The updated SUV incorporates more than 20,000 engineering refinements, improving charging performance, ride comfort and day-to-day usability while remaining priced in line with the outgoing model. Prices start from £39,990 for the rear-wheel-drive Standard Range, rising to £49,990 for the new Dual-Motor AWD Performance Black Edition, which delivers 358kW (480bhp) and 660Nm, with 0-62mph in 4.13 seconds.

Later in the year, XPENG will introduce the X9, a seven-seat flagship built on its 800V SEPA2.0 platform, aimed at families and businesses needing space, range and advanced connectivity.

Jonny Miller, XPENG UK Sales Director, said 2026 would be a “defining moment” for the brand, alongside plans to expand the retailer network across major UK cities.

This comes in a busy year for new car news more generally, as 159 models are set to enter the new market in 2026.
